Upwork

There is just one thing need to be fix we spend money to buy connects, now we are facing difficulty when we have to apply on any job for 6 or 4 connects. Only this thing has to be fixed. 2 connect are best to apply on any job.
One more thing some clients are interviewing a lot of freelancers but sometimes they just don't reply many of their freelancers. There must be apply some rules on clients as well.

I have a university degree and work experience in the relevant field. Upwork keeps rejecting my application and It is really interesting why I am not considered as good enough for them. They did not even bother to explain well why my application was rejected. They just sent me an email implying I do not have enough skills (I listed my skills on the website though?). They just create unnecessary obstacles for people who are willing to work.

Like this service for the high-quality support and quick cooperation with the client. Yes, Upwork fees feel ridiculous at first, but the longer I use the system, the more I understand the need in place. Clients must verify their payment, they offer payment guaranteed jobs, and I am often approached by Upwork with jobs they matched me up with. The system also organizes my jobs, offers security. I'm doing well and am happy with UpWork and don't plan on switching platforms anytime soon.

My stay on upwork has been doubt the best. Freelancing on Upwork is like no other, because of the safe and secure environment, I can work for clients without worrying about them being legit or not. Upwork's environment ensures a safe way for me to meet great clients and showcase my skills and get paid doing it. I really enjoy using Upwork and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to join a freelancing network.

Upwork is an amazing platform offering opportunities to freelancers and companies alike. It has changed my life! They are efficient and responsive. I like that they safeguard both clients and freelancers with their policies. I would recommend any day.

Hello, I wanted to share my honest opinion on the Upwork as a Freelancer.
- I have been working on it for half and year. During that time, I get paid from every job I did. There was no scam, no one left me empty handed.
- Upwork support freelancer. They gift 10 connects if you being active and answering proposals. (Connects is thing you use to sent proposals to the client. If you don't have it you buy it.)
- Upwork has an tax. I don't know how tax system works on USA. Anyways, Upwork gets 20% from the every single job you have done. For example, 20$ from 100$. Even though it is high, I think it is worth it considering their safety policy is protecting me.

WASTE OF TIME!

Applied to the site a freelancer - I have 15+ years of experience, and a Master's Degree from a top school, my own consulting firm, etc. Application was rejected as they say there are too many people with my skill set in their system? I'm a digital, general AND brand marketer and have ton of different skills.

When I asked for more specific info, like "do you need analytics skills vs. creative?" as I have experience across the board, I keep get an auto response with the same message.

Upwork is a perfect way to expose your professional skills and experience in order to find quality and fully remote jobs in the area you are proficient. I highly appreciate all the different features available on Upwork because each of them contributes to the freelancer's success.

I spent many hours completing my Upwork profile, took tests to show my skills in subjects I have studied and developed expertise in and then found out my account was suspended and I needed to verify my identification. I did so with a video call.

After this, my account was re-activated only to find out that days later it would be suspended again. There was no warning or reasoning behind this decision. I responded through an appeal with copies of all three of my diploma certificates. Their decision was final with no explanation. It was a complete waste of my time setting up my profile and trying to establish myself through their network.

Upwork have helped me to jump start my career 15 years ago and even now it is helping me. Instead I started my company Techgallop.com here on UpWork. Though there were few bumps on the road and few more on the way but I am glad I am still working with Upwork.
It challenges me to continuously improve my skills and add my team at Techgallop.com more to our arsenal in order to keep up with the intensely competitive market.
If you are confident in your ability to learn and adapt, this platform is highly recommended.

This could sound dramatic but it's the truth. Finding Upwork changed my life in the best way. I started offering my services on their website and quickly found enough GOOD clients that I was able to quit my job and become a full-time freelancer. I moved to the Caribbean and am currently enjoying the best life thanks to this. In Upwork, you can find serious clients that pay fair prices and value your time and work as a freelancer. I recommend this website 100%
