Thanks,
After two years of freelancing on Upwork, I can say that it is the safest platform that enhances your abilities to reach and achieve success.
I have worked with many clients through Upwork! And I also experienced lots of tasks thanks to Upwork.
I became freer by being able to work remotely. A wide range of jobs and a good level of service allow me to be geographically anywhere in the world, I only need Internet access. There were never any problems with the withdrawal of earnings. Highly recommend.
The first time I applied to join Upwork I was not accepted for not having the necessary experience. A while later I tried again and succeeded. So far everything has turned out very well, there is a lot of competition but the Upwork service is very good.
I have incredible experience working on Upwork as a freelancer. They gave me the opportunity to work for big clients.

As my title say's "Quality Service Provider". I have been working in Upwork (Formarmarly: oDesk) since 2010. This place enabled me to generate enough money for my living. Moreover, day by day they improve the system and make opportunities for those who are professionals. Though I was disappointed at the beginning when they started to charge for Connects, later I discover this system provides more opportunities for those are serious in their works. The freelancing market was going downwards because everyone is considering that "they can apply, then google and do the job". It's not that simple. You must have the right knowledge to do a job rather than just take a job and then leans on clients' money. And Upwork just find a way to filter out professionals and give a better opportunity to them. I am grateful to UpWork for the opportunity they gave me. Its changed my life.
Upwork platform is a great place to work. I have been working there for several years and the connection between clients and contractors is very easy. Of course, the fee for the first 500$ earned with a client is 20% and it is a bit high, it offers a solid platform to work in. And also it incentives the long term work because the fees are being reduced once you grow up with a client.
Also, it offers a nice place to ger and gives feedbacks that allow contractors to find easily experts with a lot of work done.
I tested other platforms like Workana, Guru, and Freelancer, but Upwork is much better than those platforms.
The quality of projects & clients that you get here is what makes this site the best in the world. Early payments to freelancers during Covid was the best decision.
Upwork is a great platform for talented individuals where they can showcase their talent and work in the international market
Upwork is the best source for freelancer designers for sure. Thanks to the team. I hope the platform keep their work and even enhance them :)
I really happy to to be a part of Upwork family, its helps me to get a new levels in my life, to be a independent person who can live like he want and where he want, an example I am working now near the sea and before I was in a closed room and long way to work and back, now everything is changed, I do not need to spend time on road to work and back and can live like I want, thanks Upwork!

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!
