With Upwork, I won't only meet my freelancing goals but also develop exponentially in my chosen career path as I get to solve real word problems of clients all around the world.
Greatest of all websites out there. Less junk. Most professional people. Great opportunity for skillful professionals
Upwork has a very comprehensive site, where you can build a serious freelance business. The only drawbacks are that everything is so automated that you can't talk to a real person (like most web sites these days), and that 20% commission they take. That can drop to 10% after certain conditions are met, but it seems like a lot!
Up-work is a great platform for individuals as well as organisations to get jobs and to hire people to get their job done. I highly recommend up-work.
Had many expectations regarding this platform, all of them were correct.
Literally could be life changer as it offers the opportunity to present your works worldwide.
Would recomend to everyone.
I started working on Upwork in 2011 and I achieved so much. Upwork gave me the platform to learn with Top companies in the World. By working on Upwork, I managed to raise a considerable amount of money for my future.
Best Place to Find Freelance Work!
Thank you so much Upwork for giving me, us, freelancers this kind of platform so we can showcase our skills and talent. Most importantly, I am grateful for this lifetime opportunity to earn from working in the comfort of our home. KUDOS UPWORK!
All I need to tell you is that you have to be insistent and patient. At beging take small jobs, built up your profile and you will see.
Its a real standard for freelaunce platforms. Everyone has worth there. Really good in customer and sellers support.
Upwork is one of the best talent and job search market places out there. With patience and consistency, as is with most good things, anyone can make a full time income on the platform. It only keeps getting better as the platform showed this year.
I had joined in Upwork in hopes of learning new skills and create a career out of it. Well, it wasn't in vain because I have scored few projects and I am still working on some of them. It is really a great platform to learn, to work for companies and clients worldwide without leaving your room and to earn a good amount of money. There are over ******* jobs posted and it makes the probability of getting a project high. I'd encourage everyone to join Upwork, whether they have some extra time to work or full time, everyone is welcome there!
When all this Covid thing started i thought i am lost. Luckily, few months before that i registered at Upwork and was just starting using it bit more seriously. Now, about a year later, this is the only place i find jobs at. It enables me to focus on work and not deal with all problems i usually encountered as freelancer before. It protects me and makes sure i am getting paid for my work fairly, which is more than i expected honestly when i started. It reminded me that Free in Freelancing stands for Freedom, freedom to work for whom i want, when i want! I love it and hope to use it for a long, long time!
I could simply say that you can easily find a real job at Upwork as a Full time and you can also meet very nice people from the whole planet. Great experience to work with Upwork!
Very good platform with excellent customer service.
Lots of jobs available every minute and they have a payment verification platform so you get paid for the service you rendered.
Amazing platform for a freelancer to get work based on pure skills. Upwork commission (20%) is slightly high. Otherwise everything is very good.
Upwork is an amazing freelance platform that provides an opportunity to work with clients from different countries. An awesome place to start your freelance journey.:-)
To be honest UpWork is different than any of other applications, the high level security make upwork unique the quality of the clients and freelancers in the site are different, rarely to see inappropriate posts or tricky clients and freelancers, it the best olace to work in
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!
