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.

Pros and Cons of Upwork
November 21, 2020

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.

I've been using Upwork for over 8 years now and it's great place to get long term clients and build up your freelancer career. There are a lot of opportunities everyday, so if you are wanting to switch from your 9 to 5 and start working remotely it is a great place.

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.
