Whether your hustle on thus platform is your main source of income or a side business to put some extra cash in your pocket, Upwork is the best place to be. It not only gives everyone an opportunity to make money but allows you to meet people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. I'd recommend anyone with a marketable skill to try Upwork, you won't be disappointed.
Upwork is an amazing, Trustworthy and safe workplace, I am proud to be a part of this awesome company.
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.
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!
I earn my living with upwork. I have worked with many companies arround the world. With upwork, I win an experience that I could not have in my country.
This is the best platform for freelancer, it's secured and very productive.
I have found myself getting fairly consistent work through Upwork and I'm looking forward to many more years of working with them. Thank you everyone!

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
I've been working as a freelancer for 7 years, I recently converted my profile as an agency (Stream Design Studio) on Upwork. I got many longterm jobs on Upwork, this is fantastic for me and my agency. I really recommended for freelancers and agencies.
As a freelancer, Upwork has helped me establish my full potential in article writing. It is a market place I would recommend to every freelancer out there both new and industry experts owing to its authenticity and excellent support to freelancers.

Although there is a very tough competition on Upwork, the success in this platform can shape a freelancer's career in an upward direction. A good profile on Upwork helps to create a fruitful career.
The best site for the best freelancers. I am also privileged to work here for the best clients. I Will definitely work here for years to come and as long as I can.
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.
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!
