Upwork is the site where I can get quality and good clients, projects and work.
Ive been a member since oDesk times and there a lot of changes, but all for better quality!
I've been working for many years in different companies, which made me realize that there was always limited numbers of clients you get to do business with, since you'r not the boss of your work and its results. Upwork gave me the oppurtunity to work with people from all over the world, letting me decide who I'm willing to work with, which gives far more better results than earlier.
I really love to work on Upwork and I would recommend every person who wants to start a freelancing carrier he/she should join Upwork. Upwork provides a great platform to start earning side by side of your job or studies. The payment method of Upwork is supercool, they charge very low amount when you are transferring the payment earned into your bank account.
So talking about the darker side, there is huge problem of connects in Upwork as if you have just started working on Upwork it is possible that you may get out of connects very soon. Although they charge very less of buying the connects but as a freelancer sometimes I don't earn money for a long period, so it becomes difficult to buy them.
How much I love UpWork I can not express in a few line. Since 2013 I started my career with oDesk and I love this platform from that time till now. Hope our relation will remain alike present forever. Thank you so much!

I started my journey a few months back with the least expectation of earning from Upwork like playing gambling. A few months later it turned out to be an important indicator of my life and a reliable source of my income.
I had a wonderful experience and had some great clients with awesome projects. With my hard work, it not only started paying off but also inspiring me more and more. Now I am much more confident on myself for handling much bigger projects and leading teams.
My utter gratitude to Upwork fpr providing such opportunity.
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!
