Upwork

I am facing issues regarding my health, I am freelancer can't do work on physical location
Upwork help me a lot to manage my expenditures and living a meaningful life. I just want thank upwork for creating things like this

I have been associated with the business from the day one, even before it was Upwork :).
The website has helped me find international clients. The idea, when launched, was futuristic, and it indeed helped people in 3rd world countries show their true potential.
5 stars, surely.

The last job posting I put on upwork resulted in multiple DIRECT calls to my phone, work email address, skype address, personal email address, google chat. They all mentioned they saw the job posting on upwork and its the only place I posted. Its overwhelming and I will not use upwork again for a job posting. They found the email of a consultant to my business and emailed him.

Unless you are lonely and like contact from strangers who want you to hire them, stay away.

I have spent thousands of dollars on eLance over the last 6 years hiring everything from web developers to graphic designers. ELance worked well.

Upwork is an abomination. The site crashes Firefox every time I use it, I don't get emailed messages my freelancers send me, I can't invite the freelancers I want to use, etc. etc. Nor can I post a job that I'm not sure how much it will cost and have freelancers tell me what they will charge. Instead, I have to say what I'm willing to pay in order for the job to be posted.

I'm still using Upwork to post jobs and escrow funds for the freelancers I've been working with over an extended period, but we are forced to do all the communications outside of Upwork.

There is a tremendous need for a better platform. If eLance can't be brought back, I beg someone to create a better platform!

I used to be one of their top designers, in 2016 i made more than $22,000 through their system, a solid $4,400 went into their pockets (they take 20%). I ended up being suspended for offering a client the option to pay me via Paypal, a $70 project that ended up costing me 6 years of outstanding reviews with over 250 testimonials from clients. I had a JSS of 95 and a rating of 4.99/5

I have used Upwrok.com for many years now. Recently, I got into a dispute with a freelancer who overcharged me $700 over a 3-month period. After we got to some resolution of my getting some money back, he was able to remove my honest feedback about the situation. You cannot trust freelancer reviews!

My name is Ime Ekpenyong, a mother of three children. I wanted to work from home and I learned graphic design by taking online courses. I joined Upwork as a freelancer 2 months ago. I was quite skeptical about getting jobs as I had tried other freelancing sites. In quite a short while, I have been able to find jobs consistently, even as an intermediate-level designer. I am so proud to be associated with Upwork and would encourage anyone looking for a freelancing platform to choose Upwork.

Upwork is a platform or marketplace where people go to find freelancers to work for them. As a freelancer, you can be paid per hour worked or a fixed price for the contract.

Upwork provide freelancer like us who leave everything behind and start relay on it!
Working with upwork and getting client is like heaven to us, we make money our own ND be our own boss.
Thanks once again for giving us this opportunity.

They have charging heavy commissions on the projects. Even they suspend account so frequently and their every customer support member come up with different reasons. Also there are some of the clients who give work to new ID's after submission of work they reports the freelancer ID and results in blocking freelancer ID and all the amount get reversed into the client as per Upwork latest rules

I'm just fed up with their services.
