Question:

Hello why cannot submit proposals on upwork at this time. and my profile almost complete

Answer:

You need something called "Connects" which Upwork will give you complimentary upon creating a profile. And you could buy them too. This is to ensure that freelancers don't keep bidding randomly to every job advert unless they are really interested. This saves the Clients a lot of hassle.

Question:

How do i know jobs are not a scam? specially when the client sends you checks, and computers?

Answer:

Rest assured - such rackets ARE SCAMS that can cost you $$$$$$$$$! (You'll find references/prohibitions in the extensive documentation that Upwork provides all members)... Your check will probably clear the bank immediately - your balance will probably reflect such. Then you'll send them (or a 3d party) a few hundred bucks back... and a few days later the counterfeit check will bounce and your bank will take the whole amount out of you account. You will be screwed... the bank won't refund your $. But they have nothing to do with Upwork... 'anymore than telemarketing scams have anything to do with your email or phone provider. You owe it to Upwork, yourself and fellow freelancers to report such suspicious activity REPORT this to Upwork Support ASAP. They devote a boatload of $, technology and manpower to identify and ban such scamming"clients", their IP address, etc. They can't fix a problem unless they know about it. The relationship that we freelancers share with UW is a 2-way street!

Question:

How do i start to earn in upwork? i just registered and i don't know how to begin with.

Answer:

If you are very new to freelance sites, it would be best if you start with their videos and tutorials that they have on the site that will guide you to getting set up. Don't know what field you are in but good luck, there's probably at least 500,000 already in your category since UW has merged with Elance and ODesk.

Yes, go into Upwork and search for copywriters and bloggers. Find a few that are in your niche and send them invites. Then take the same invite and post it as an open job... and wait. The prospects will start rolling in.

Question:

Answer:

Except you're wrong... UpWork provides absolutely no transparency from the employer but requires proof of identity and full exposure for the freelancer. That's not a middle man, that's micro-management in favor of the employer.
