I've been working on Upwork since Elance & Odesk first merger in 2014, and it's a great start for my service business. I got plenty of invitations for various work until I can't handle it anymore. But beware, there are many fraud clients trying to charge for free work, even scam. I hope Upwork will handle this, and keep the community grows.
One of the best freelancing platform to earn/learn/make business and many more.
I have been working on Upwork since 2019
So many different opportunities to choose from. Hope I can land my first job soon. I always wanted to work remotely where you are your own boss do any thing any time you want. I think Upwork is the best platform for us people who are dreaming to become a freelancer to have endless opportunities for income and experience.
While it did take time to establish myself on Upwork (almost a year), I find it to be a solid freelancer site with plenty of opportunity. It has nice features like payment protection through Escrow, Talent Specialist coaching, and the time tracker tool.
An area for improvement is the steep service fee (20% for the first $500 per client, 10% thereafter). I think fees for this service should be in the 7-8% range, especially with the financial toll of the pandemic hitting hard this year.
Upwork is the best option for freelancers so far. They provide payment security for your hard work, have the best clients out there.
Upwork is a great platform. I have tried some more platforms with similar business model, but their system of bidding was too complicated and you have to wait until bidding was finished, so it was absolutely unproductive from time point of view. In Upwork, I can get to an agreement with the client within minutes. My only displeasure with Upwork concerns pricing. 20 % provision seem to me a little bit steep.
Upwork is doing such amazing work at creating opportunities for people like myself to be able to work with anyone, anywhere. It's great to not be limited to your environment or country when it comes to rendering your skills as a service, and Upwork affords that in a great way with a great platform and structure. People who are committed to working their way up will always end up increasing their yearly earnings via the platform.
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!
