I was working with a local digital marketing agency pre-covid during early March, and then my reporting manager told me about the lack of writing projects in the company and asked me to search for another job. It was during this time, I updated my profile on Upwork, where I found a couple of writing projects and the best part, they had an escrow system in place which relieved me about the non-payment issues faced by individual freelancers.

I would recommend you to get on Upwork to find relevant jobs and start making a living while freelancing from the comfort of your homes.

I've started working on Upwork a few months ago and it has changed the perspective on freelancing. Upwork did a tremendous job for me in finding the right clients for my skills. I wish they continue their journey like this and keep changing people's lives.

Upwork was good in the first week, but I would be honest, there were so many unanswered proposals, but I managed to get two jobs that paid over $300. But the downside to Upwork especially for newcomers is the issue of connects. You need them to apply for jobs and unless you are a paying customer, you will be getting only a few, and you would be really lucky to land jobs with the initial batch. I am yet to buy connects though and have missed out on some opportunities I was confident I could have gotten. Upwork has to change policy to allow new users better benefits so they can apply and make money first, before being asked to buy connects. They are going to make money if the freelancer makes any, and they still charge for withdrawal

I can say enough how resourceful this platform has been for me since Covid started. I didn't think getting remote client projects can be this easy. With UpWork's help, I was even able to afford a vacation with the compensation I earned through completing client contracts. I strongly recommend this platform to freelancers of all experience level! Whether you want a full time career or part time extra cash, you can find something on UpWork tailored for you!

I signed up as a freelancer on Upwork back in the Spring of 2020, and I have already worked on several projects for clients. My experience with Upwork has been top notch, not only in helping me to find client matches for my work expertise, but also with regarding to payment. Upwork is prompt and reliable and the interface is very easy to use. I will continue using Upwork going forward! As a freelancer, Upwork has been a gift in 2020!
