I have been with this company for a year and have yet to have been given a job. I have a bachelors in business, I type 70wpm, I am a writer, editor, proofreader, and I am very knowledgeable with technology (one of the best). I added my experience just in case some one has something smart to say about my education.
I'm an italian young woman, and despise my bachelor's degree and my skills I haven't found a job in my country, expecially during the pandemia. With Upwork, I can work with many clients from all over the world that I would have never met, and I can earn as a freelancer.
Working at upwork for last 10 years as a Lead generator. Day by day upwork grew up also I grew up with.
As a full-time remote Lead Generator, I don't need to go to any other marketplace for looking for a job. A lot of clients post their job from whole over the world and we the freelancer providing the best support to them. Without upwork, it wasn't possible and won't be possible. Upwork is transparent for both parties client and freelancer. I'm glad to be a part of upwork.

As a freelancer, I have had relationships with several directories, but I will give a thumps-up to Upwork.
They are the best directory for freelancers.

Honestly this is the best website.
I can talk with customers and share thoughts with.
Earning money is never been easy but this website gives you so much oppurtunities and also you can share you experience with others.
Highly recommanded
A client owes me 100$ for an underpaid work. Upwork bans me after I submit the work and tells me that if the client pays me, they collect 20% as fee. If the client doesnt pay me I can basically screw myself and cry about it. Winners are keepers, loosers are weepers. Not the exact words, but I cant explain the situation any better. Moreover, customer service gets judgmental on their silly rules rather than my earnings from hard work. My client ignores me, and Upwork doesnt give a $#*!. I am trying to haunt them on social media to remidn them of their responsability to do more for ensuring me one last payment pending. Dont wish to work for them anymore, but ensure my payment.
I hired a freelancer on upwork to make an app for me.The freelancer logged manual hours and upwork released the funds to him with out asking me if i received anything in return which i had not.So in turn i lost $600.00 and they are putting the blame on me
WHAT A SCAM SITE IT IS
Upwork is a very good sitr wich provide equal chance to client and freelancer to make a job with full confidence. As a freelancer we should always do the job with upwork because upwork make us secure.
I have been on Upwork for about 8 years and so far I have gained lot of experience and success I actually could work so far over ******* hours only from hourly contracts and lord of other fixed price projects as well the reason for my success is I have always been honest to the upwork and for the clients that I'm dealing with.
While we are working If we face with any kind of issue we can have chat with the people of upwork any time from the live chat platform untill the issue is being resolved, the people we are chatting with very knowledgeable and friendly.
As a freelance I can strongly recommend upwok.
Upwork is a great place to source for professionals. As a lawyer, Upwork avails a platform to serve a global pool of clients who have the opportunity to review my services. They also have an escrow protection for both the clients and the freelancers. You may reach out to me by a simple google search of: Opiyo Ochieng Upwork profile.
Thank you Upwork for the platform.
Very disapointed upset and angry.
I hired a Freelancer to do some research. I provided clear guidelines as to the topic and information needed. Within 2 weeks reviewed the work provided - it was clear the Freelancer had not read the guidelines and the research provided was totally unuseable. They then began to bill for work that was not completed. Half way through the contract the Freelancer changed their name and location two times so the original person I contracted with did not appear to be the current person I was dealing with. Support from Upwork identified that the account and person had been banned even though they had opened up again under another name and location. No refund of funds. The whole set up appeared to be scammy. I have learned my lesson I will not use this platform again
I have been a freelancer for a very short time with UPWORK and no where are you able to reach out for assistance as a "Freelancer" to make sure you get paid. I have recently been engaged with two doctors from Washington to solicit and create a sponsorship package for their event in Martha's Vineyard, a "Mindfulness Retreat", Aeva Doomes. I was not paid and they ended contract. They were very hard to work with and very rude, sending threatening emails on time frames, etc. Upwork answered no outreach to assist.
Upwork has changed my life for better. Wonders happened when I joined upwork back in 2013 from Elance. Since then, I never looked back as a expert transcriptionist. I built a new home, I have good bank balance and I am planning to buy my second car. During the COVID crisis when the world is struggling, I am sitting at the comfort of my home and earning handsomely. Though its not the same as before, I am optimistic that things will change once the COVID ends. I am also now a Top Rated Plus freelancer. I accomplished a lot so far and it's all because of Upwork. I wish that Upwork continues to succeed for years to come.

Great marker place to work with, no hassle in releasing the payments, once project is assigned, their policies ensure that we are paid timely even when most of clients dont respond when job is done.
Answer: They are horrible. Every freelancer I've gotten from Upwork has cost me more to fix the small job they have done. There's absolutely no customer service! I would stay away
Answer: This is not the place to inquire.
Answer: No, just 20% of your job when we talk about fixed price, and same for hourly but after some week it's been 10%
Answer: Go to Settings › Contact Info › Click the Close my account link. If you meet the requirements, click the button to confirm that you want to close your account.
Answer: I am a customer and have had a really horrible experience. Upwork claims a 100% guarantee before you pay anything. That is not true. The process is actually quite horrible. You put money in escrow. You only get your money back after a bad contract if the freelancer agrees to release the money. If the freelancer refuses, you get a bargain offer to still pay them something but still you are paying for a bad job you can't use. Then, if you refuse to bargain over a bad job, you are told that it will cost you an additional $389 to arbitrate with a 3rd party affiliate that the customer (me), the freelancer (scammer) and Upwork (ripoff enabler) has to pay. I took it all the way to arbitration with the end result being that Upwork decided that I was just too uninformed to know their policy and that they would give me a one time only refund of my original amount. What they didn't tell me what that they just gave me a "credit" of my original amount and that was the end. So I am still out the original amount and can't get my money back. This sight is a ripoff. Plain and simple.
Answer: Because of their policy changes which are geared towards the client rather than the freelancer. They have dug their own grave with their policy changes of late.
Answer: Go to Get Paid on PC or Mobile, you will see 3 dots in front of your payment method, tap to select edit/remove to change them. Go to Billing Method on PC under Billing Section and tap three dots to change (edit/remove). Thanks
Answer: Be part and see, dont look at the sold mine reviews people, upwork can bush you to reach.
Answer: I agree with Sam. This place is a scam. They have bad reviews everywhere. Katrina is probably working for them!
