Upwork is a good place to start earning. They help us find the right client that fits our niche. It also features security at safeness in terms of payments from the client. Overall I would recommend this to the ones who lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
This is a great platform to work on. Anyone who is looking to start their freelance journey should start with Upwork.
Hey, I am Dr hajra. I have been working as a content and blog writer at Upwork since 2020. I never find a platform like this before in my entire life. It gives you satisfaction and provide you a great source of income. I love to work on Upwork and want to continue till my last breathe.
It is the best platform where you can find jobs with good rates and get some cash also your money won't get lost it is easily to transfer your money from upwork to your bank account or through paypal
I have been using Upwork for over two years, and am a big fan. At that time I signed up for Upwork and Freelancer.com. Initially I got more offers for work from Freelancer with much less work, but then I saw that over half of these offers were from scammers looking to purchase my identity from me. Yikes!
Upwork's internal review and controls don't eliminate spammers, but greatly reduce it. Instead, I have had to fairly compete on an open marketplace for jobs that are posted and coming in all day every day.
Sure, I had to start with lower prices than the market would seem to be, but I worked hard, got good reviews, and started getting more work - and raising my prices. After becoming a Rising Star and then Top Rated, and maintaining a 100% JSS score (with the help of the ability to challenge the rare poor review) I now find Upwork a healthy supplement to my writing business.
Upwork is the only freelancing service I would recommend. Always satisfied. No scams, just a serious business.
Upwork as a platform is game changing! I've monetised my skills with 5 jobs completed on my first week on the platform as a freelancer. Really excited to see the potential here! Highly recommend.
It's an awesome platform to extend your client base. You are not locked to your home markets, if you have some competitive advantages, you can find clients from every continents.
I have been on Upwork for the past 3 years and I can honestly recommend it to anyone. Not only is the site freelancer friendly, but the clients are professional as well. Not to mention, Upwork has rolled out several updates and upgrades during that time that have made the site very awesome to use. The escrow feature is terrific as well. As a client or a freelancer, you don't have to worry about losing your money. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to advertise their skills or anyone who is looking for professional and skilled freelancers.
I am really happy to work on upwork.com. Upwork is an honest business platform. I am here long time. Thanks for giving me chance.
Upwork is the best international platform where anybody can start his journey. Upwork connect potential clients with potential freelancers. Thanks for making our lives. Thanks
Easily the best platform to find and be talent. No arbitrary barriers to entry like TopTal--just a community of people with skills and portfolios to show their abilities regardless of level.
I signed up to Upwork (still odesk then) in tandem with tour guiding; both freelance back in 2012. In 2013 we had a 7.2 earthquake, which stopped my tour guiding and I applied and found virtual assistance and translation jobs This gave me a security blanket that no matter what happens, I have a place to fall back on. Come 2020 and here I am again, but this time this is the online lifeline left. My biggest struggle before was to stay home, but now I learned to love it. Solo parenting even has become easier with working from home. Upwork is just and fair, I feel safe.
Upwork is very helpful for me. It does a fair job for the Freelancer and the client. That's why many freelancer saying that is very difficult to get a job on Upwork, too high fee. But for me it's reasonable. Yes at the beginning it's difficult but when you finally get the magic trick on how to get client it's gonna be a flood or pool of clients. Same thing for the clients. It's easy to to get a freelancer because they have a automatic sending invites for the qualified VA's you're looking for. Many thanks to upwork! I don't need to worry anymore to get my clients.
IT WAS AWESOME! THE PLATFORM IS THE BEST AND REALLY SUPPORTS AND GIVE A LOT OF CREDITS TO ANYONE ELSE.
Covid19 hit us really hard. Where government support barely reach us, Upwork has been a great source of income that let us survive this pandemic without expecting a help from the government.
There is a lot of competition going on but if you have a unique skillset, finding a client is as easy as fishing in a fishpond.

One of the best freelancing websites I have got. Must recommend other freelancers to move on with Upwork
Upwork has given me opportunities to connect with great clients from all over the world and build long-term relationships with different companies. It gives protection and security to both the client and me as freelancer. I would recommend Upwork as the platform for everyone looking for online employment.
It was the best experience ever getting the best person for the job thanks to the great and honest reviews.
Answer: They are horrible. Every freelancer I've gotten from Upwork has cost me more to fix the small job they have done. There's absolutely no customer service! I would stay away
Answer: This is not the place to inquire.
Answer: No, just 20% of your job when we talk about fixed price, and same for hourly but after some week it's been 10%
Answer: Go to Settings › Contact Info › Click the Close my account link. If you meet the requirements, click the button to confirm that you want to close your account.
Answer: I am a customer and have had a really horrible experience. Upwork claims a 100% guarantee before you pay anything. That is not true. The process is actually quite horrible. You put money in escrow. You only get your money back after a bad contract if the freelancer agrees to release the money. If the freelancer refuses, you get a bargain offer to still pay them something but still you are paying for a bad job you can't use. Then, if you refuse to bargain over a bad job, you are told that it will cost you an additional $389 to arbitrate with a 3rd party affiliate that the customer (me), the freelancer (scammer) and Upwork (ripoff enabler) has to pay. I took it all the way to arbitration with the end result being that Upwork decided that I was just too uninformed to know their policy and that they would give me a one time only refund of my original amount. What they didn't tell me what that they just gave me a "credit" of my original amount and that was the end. So I am still out the original amount and can't get my money back. This sight is a ripoff. Plain and simple.
Answer: Because of their policy changes which are geared towards the client rather than the freelancer. They have dug their own grave with their policy changes of late.
Answer: Go to Get Paid on PC or Mobile, you will see 3 dots in front of your payment method, tap to select edit/remove to change them. Go to Billing Method on PC under Billing Section and tap three dots to change (edit/remove). Thanks
Answer: Be part and see, dont look at the sold mine reviews people, upwork can bush you to reach.
Answer: I agree with Sam. This place is a scam. They have bad reviews everywhere. Katrina is probably working for them!
