Upwork disabled my freelancer account permanently for no reason, I have been working on upwork full time for 2 years and suddenly I got an email saying that my account have been diabled and I no longer can use the platform. I reached out to customer support many times and told them that I can provide them with ant documents if they need but they did not help me and I still did not know the reason that my account disabled for. I do not recommend for anyone to use this site or at least do not relay on it. I am suffering now and have no job because of them.

Made my career switch possible & saved my finances
February 23, 2021

Nothing else has lowered the barriers to freelancing as much as Upwork has. I had skills and experience, but no qualifications or certifications - and it didn't matter. I was able to find clients and start earning more than I had in my previous career. It's important to take time to learn how the system works, to continue to develop professionally, and to network and find other channels for finding clients, but Upwork got me going and kept me going for a long time like nothing else could.

Throughout my time on the site, I have had nothing but success. The platform brings together skilled workers such as myself and clients in order to facilitate business. It is quick and easy to get started, and if issues do arise, which is rare, Upwork's policies can get it sorted out. I have recommended people I know to get started on it.

Upwork the life changer
February 20, 2021

I never thought I would be working full time online, I was content with my normal 9-5 job and the hustle that it entails but Covid-19 changed that. With limited access to my job, I turned to work online as an alternative, and ever since I have been on a journey of self-discovery. Finding Upwork was relatively easy, I heard about Upwork from a friend, so I did my research and decided I would join Upwork. I have not regretted being a member of Upwork, they provide you with resources to be knowledgeable and successful on the platform.
