When I started my freelancing career a few years ago, I didn't really think that it will become my main source of income. Slow but steady, my small business grew and now I am able to redo my kitchen or upgrade my car with the money I make everyday. I started with small jobs, 5-10 $, got great reviews, that brought me bigger and bigger clients. Thanks to Upwork, those clients have a verified payment method, we work with an escrow account and I always find support if I have a problem. I tried other platforms in the past, but now my only freelancer account is on Upwork. With a little patience, you can achieve great success.

Yes, there are lots of freelance websites out there but none can compare to Upwork in terms of security. It's surely one freelance website I'd recommend any day, any time!

They just deactivated my account without telling anything. Although I hadn't violated any terms and conditions of upwork. And they hadn't told me any reason of deactivation.

Upwork is a good platform for a freelancer to find a job. However, the service fee is a little bit high.

Brilliant company
May 26, 2020

Upwork provides a great service and is a win win for client and freelancer. The client finds the most suitable freelancer for their job and the freelancer gets work. Freelancers scan available work offers and then bid for the job. This should lead to an interview either via Upwork messages, a skype or a mobile call. With the random screen shots taken when the freelancer is working on the clients accounting system, the client can be confident the freelancer is working on the job when they get the Upwork invoice and the freelancer gets paid weekly. When the job is finished, the client should leave a reference and as good references build up, the freelancer gets invitations to work on new client jobs which in my case led to more and more work, a considerable number of regular clients and I have done a lot more one off jobs..

Upwork has forever made me into a writing entrepreneur. I consistently get clients and the staff at Upwork is there for you 24 hours a day to answer all of your questions. They are all very personable as well. It is a cumulative experience so the more work you get and the positive reviews come in, the greater your chances are of being hired each time.

UpWork has been fantastic to me. It has put me in contact with multiple brands and clients who have both enhanced my portfolio while I help them bring their business visions to life. They ensure that I get paid - which is pretty hard these days - and they hold me to a standard so make sure I am producing the work I am being paid to do. The fees are there, but the profit makes up for it. It is better than working freelance and not sure if the client is going to pay. I recommend it to everyone I know. 10/10.
