Upwork has its share of good and bad, but overall it's a great starting point for those new to freelancing and looking to build their reputation and portfolio. The fees can be brutal at times and really impact your freelancing income, as well as the fact that you literally have to pay to apply for jobs majority of the time, but once you get into a more consistent flow, you don't mind the hassle quite as much. Clientele always varies greatly and impacts the experience, but I've been working on Upwork for a few years now and am comfortable saying that I don't mind the site at all. It's definitely a 4 out of 5.

Upwork has provided me a platform to find and secure projects and roles within my area of expertise. For the past 18 months I have successfully worked and earned on UpWork with a variety of clients. In fact, just yesterday I launched my own freelancing business due to the success I have had. I truly cannot say enough about the ease of use and the quality contracts I have worked on.

Ive been using Upwork for a very long time and work with many freelancers at once. One of them made a massive charge on our account and will not pay us back. Upwork won't do anything about it. This is really wrong and unethical. Upwork doesnt really have your back when something like this happens... I'd rather trust other services...

Pioneer of digital world
January 24, 2021

As a freelancer architect on Upwork. I bet that Upwork is the pioneer of the digital world, both saving your rights and enabling you to get a variety of jobs. They are also being selective while they pick the freelancers to give clients the best results. As soon as I became a member of Upwork I got a render job. I am highly happy for being a part of the Upwork world.
