Upwork

I'm a freelance writer. I've found Upwork a reliable and useful platform for finding a steady stream of new and interesting work. I've worked through a handful of platforms and Upwork is the only resource I continually use. The work is plentiful, but just as importantly, I feel protected as a freelancer in Upwork. The system is built to ensure a fair and accountable flow of work. That's important to me! If you're looking for steady clientele, Upwork is a smart choice.

I am working on upwrok.com for more than 5 years, I found it to be Number 1 platform where one can grow their business as well as their professional growth.
I would recommend everyone who is looking for good platform to use upwork.com

Best platform for me as a freelancer. Gives support at every step. Encourages to build business. Upwork is a platform where one can make a bid and also can make gigs. Most of other websites gives only one function at a time.

Many freelancers that are operating on Upwork are not being very truthful when it comes to their profiles and work experiences posted. They are using fake profiles and fake information about their work skills and abilities.

Upwork don't seem to care less about all the deceptive and false information on the profiles of their freelancers. Profiles posted are not being audited for accuracy by Upwork.

The freelancer you hire may not really be honest about their skills, when you complain to Upwork about the poor work performed or a job that is not complete they just don't care, in fact Upwork will not even make a decision in any dispute. It's up to the customer to work it out with the freelancer so you will end up losing your your money.

When things go bad on a job Upworks terms and conditions covers all scenarios for the themselves very well.

Don't Waste Your Time and Money on Upwork, it seems UpWork is the new chosen platform for those Nigerian scammers to operate from.

I really like this platform. I found some great freelancers to outsource some of my extra works. It is easy to set up profile, post job and hire the right freelancer from 100s of bids. Hasslefree process.

I have been using Upwork for a few weeks now, and I have to say I like how it creates an easy platform for freelancers to showcase their work and connect to quality clients. I can easily create a portfolio of all of my work, and can apply to as many jobs as I feel I have the expertise to perform.

Suddenly one day they suspended my account permanently and blocked my funds.
I worked hard on Upwork to improve my rating to top rated and I was on the way to be top rated, however they suspended my account blocking my funds.
No reason was cited for suspension of my account.
I am highly disappointed with their action and also concerned about my funds earned.
I am planning to take legal action against Upwork if I get good support from freelancers who have affected by abrupt suspension of account by Upwork.

Upwork is very helpful for me. It does a fair job for the Freelancer and the client. That's why many freelancer saying that is very difficult to get a job on Upwork, too high fee. But for me it's reasonable. Yes at the beginning it's difficult but when you finally get the magic trick on how to get client it's gonna be a flood or pool of clients. Same thing for the clients. It's easy to to get a freelancer because they have a automatic sending invites for the qualified VA's you're looking for. Many thanks to upwork! I don't need to worry anymore to get my clients.

I've been working on Upwork for over ten years from its inception and Elance before that. I've had many good clients as well as a few not so good. Upwork leans toward supporting its clients a bit more than supporting the freelance workers. However, once you learn how to engage with the clients, that becomes less and less of an issue. The goal is to win the loyalty of the clients and build a client base that keeps coming back to you. Upwork encourages you to do that. If I can single out one thing that Upwork could do better, it's to vet their client base better and get rid of undesirables.

Upwork has gotten better since it went public. They have realized that their freelancers are as much a customer as their clients that post jobs.

I am a graphics designer, works as a freelancer in upwork. I love upwork, because it connected a freelancer with a client even anywhere of the world. We can found millions of jobs regularly, so that we gets chances to choose a job what I want to do. I am always feel safe about payments and my ID. Eventually, I am so happy with upwork.
