Upwork is good for freelancers to find clients from all over the world. There are lots of opportunities for interesting and varied work. You might have to submit quite a lot of proposals to get going but I have not had to buy any 'connects' yet. The increased service fee of 20% feels too high so I can't give 5 stars. The website is easy to use and had many useful features.

Upwork has been a great platform for a working mom like me. Especially when the pandemic started, It took me months to look for a job that will allow me to stay only at home; working safely while taking care of my son. Upwork gives a lot of opportunities and you don't need to worry about your security as a freelancer because they make sure that you are secured, not only your identity but your salary and job are also secured by Upwork's rules and guidelines. I always recommend this platform to my friends especially to those who want to work at home.

Upwork is awesome!
July 23, 2020

Upwork is great place to work remotely. It gives everything you need to find jobs, communicate with customers, track your progress, make reports and get paid. I've been working through Upwork for 5 years and very happy with the service. Customer support is responsive and willing to help. On the other hand, working remotely is not for everyone and it is not easy. I guess it might be hard to get started, because of the high competition and other top-level freelancer with higher ratings... Well, live is not easy. That's the fact. Believe in yourself and you will succeed!

I've been a freelancer for exactly one year now, and it has been an excellent experience. Every question I have ever had, has been accurately answered. Great customer support, everything is clear upfront and excellent place to work as a freelancer. Although I know there are other platforms that charge less, I prefer Upwork, since the quality of the clients are higher and more professional.

I come from a poor family. Paying college bills was not possible for us. So I took a year off and learned web development. Then I started freelancing on upwork. Surely there was bad clients and good ones. It took a lot of hard work at first. But without upwork it would've been impossible to continue my study. Without upwork, I would be working as a labourer on the corner a factory. Thank you Upwork.

Living in a country with a high rate of violence is difficult, finding a job is not only difficult due to job competition, but it must also be taken into account if one will travel through areas controlled by organized crime to get to work from home and when returning. Upwork was the solution to this dilemma, now I not only plan to continue working with them, I also organize free campaigns and seminars teaching others how to join Upwork and get ahead in work.

Made for freelancers
August 13, 2021

I find Upwork provides quite an exclusive platform for freelancers to establish themselves in providing a host of services to clients who post mostly relevant and qualitative jobs. The tools developed by Upwork to keep a control on entry of freelancers and allowing only credible ones to join is helping the platform earn a reputation of quality delivery. The practice of awarding badges related to milestones also help the freelancers in creating a differential and a niche for themselves, which further strengthens there efforts for more contracts. All in all the platform stands out amid a rather crowded market place for such freelancing work.

I used upwork for a big e-commerce project I wanted to kick off. Once the project started and things started going wrong upwork was zero help in trying to resolve the issues with the freelance agency. They made all the right noises in their email but actually didn't do anything apart from play postbox. They sure didn't forget to collect their fees from every payment made but wanted nothing to do with managing the dispute. I have decided to make a claim direct with my credit card provider and intend to inform social media of their complete lack of dispute resolution. I will never use there services again

Upwork is a fantastic platform where dozens of potential clients are coming to you every day looking for the exact service you offer. But that doesn't mean that you'll be getting jobs left and right immediately. I had to submit over 60 proposals before I got my first job. But the good news is once you succeed in one it gets easier and easier. My next job took 13 proposals and I also got invited to a job shortly after that.

It's a great platform but be prepared to submit a lot of proposals before you get your first job.

The only thing that makes Upwork stand out among the other platforms is, they maintain a professional environment. Upwork just doesn't approve people who can write their name and create a profile. They only approve the freelancers who are really skilled. So, this marketplace is cleaner than the others which helps me to provide proper services to my clients.

If you can find your First job on Upwork, then it's over, you can complete more than 6-7 projects and earn 400$-500$ easily. You just need to get started on Upwork. I would strongly recommend Upwork as one of the best websites for freelancing and online business.

I had a profile with 150 projects completed positively and 500 hours during five years of hard work, but hard!
They closed my account because I had a double profile years ago, without personal information, because I forgot my password, without wanting to write the email one morning with my eyes closed, and, in a few hours later the profile closed one by all, without availability to enter the web and register again!

The person who understood me, knew only one thing, you do not have more accounts here, as if I were a delinquent with two balls!

I am on upwork for the last 8+ years as freelancer. Doing a job is good to get regular earnings but could not help you to become rich or get full reward of your hard-work. Upwork is good for skilled and experienced professionals around the world especially from under developed countries to sell their services on good rate remotely and get full reward of their work. If you know what you are doing then you should join upwork and earn some extra money.
