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!

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!
