You can see in every detail the high level of professionalism. The site is clean and beautiful, you have the relevant information, many features and even a desktop software. But, for me, the most important thing is the amount of work with Moodle, that you can't find anywhere else. I use and recommend.

I have used a few freelancing websites and can state unequivocally that my experience has demonstrated that Upwork is the best freelancer website for my specialization. One of the major benefits found on Upwork that is sadly lacking on other sites is the ability to purchase unlimited bids. When building a business, freelancing or otherwise, the key is to reach out to as many potential clients as possible in the shortest amount of time. Unlike most other freelancing sites, Upwork does not restrict the number of projects you can bid on.

Not Worth It!
June 10, 2020

There are better freelancing platforms than Upwork. They will occasionally request a random interview and don't mention they charge service fees upon sign up. Also, there are a lot of online threads about account suspensions out of the blue. This platform is like one of those apps that go bad after an update!

The platform helped me to be able to offer my services to everyone.
For a long time it was my main source of income.
Certain things like problems as customers are normal and I believe that it is not within reach of the platform to solve this since it is something human.
Follow the rules, understand the platform, be a good professional and be successful as a freelancer on that platform

When I started my freelance online commercial business Upwork was my first choice. Great clients, payment protection, safe transactions and data protection are their main strenghts. Exchange of products and services between businesses, groups and individuals are one of the essential activities for my business and Upwork platform is of the essence. Help and support are fast and professional. Upwork constantly monitor all trends and regularly generate a system that works perfectly. My rating is 5 stars!

Great online platform that helps Clients grow their business and helps Freelancers to land a fulfilling job. With lots of relevant jobs posted everyday that match your skills and expertise as well as competitive salaries and benefits. I feel blessed to be part of Upwork, they gave me the opportunity to pursue my freelancing career and strive more to become successful. I also want to take this chance to share a bible verse that motivates me (2 Corinthians 9:8) And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. Keep the jobs coming to help even more people. Great job Upwork, kudos to the whole team. God bless you more.
