We monitor reviews for authenticity
They posted a fake job posting and prompted me to sign up before applying. When I finished signing up, I went back to apply for the job and it wasn't possible. I realized that the post was an example of a job that I could get if I signed up and not for an actual job. It turns out the real application was to even be considered for jobs because they emailed me in the middle of the night to tell me that my profile wasn't accepted. I graduated with multiple awards and am looking for experience, but they're just looking to pad their bank account by taking massive billing fees from people who want to charge more.
Generally, Upwork is great, especially when dealing with clients that know their requirements beforehand. Upwork links you with clients that are of high value and professional. There are a few clients who just don't know what they want and it's our responsibility to break down the descriptions to them but there are a few of them who end up assigning the job without expert advice which eventually leads to misunderstanding and bad reviews.
Upwork is a fantastic platform for bringing the greatest talent and clients together globally. I've worked with several clients all across the world, and they were all extremely happy with the results. Clients pay for the work performed and the freelancer receives payment for the work performed thanks to Upwork's secure payment system. Finding the perfect match for projects is made easier by public comments and a freelancer and client rating system. It's an excellent place for freelancers to display their diverse skills through customized profiles. Thank you very much, Upwork!
I found best platform for freelancing as "Upwork" which if follwing best feautures. Easy to use, Payment methods, layout and design, Customer support, High profile client, Accurate job filters, etc.
Thanks Upwork,
Upwork works!
And this is already a huge issue. Furthermore, they have a support team that is ready to help and solve any problems you may have whether with the platform, clients or payments. Just ask for help. Another advantage is vastity of clients you may find, and work with.
After this, and once the platform provides you with a lot of information about previous works from those clients, and others, you really get to choose if that´s a good fit for you, or not. Follow the rules, and you´ll be able to build a professional path.
Thank you, Upwork.
Glad to have the opportunity to be implemented on an upwork.
Large pool of clients, with a variety of budgets and tasks.
In 3+ years I have never had any problems with the service.
Professional implementation, remote work, flexible schedule, choice of clients, without having to be distracted by finding them and other tasks not related to your professional skills.
I am a copywriter and I have had wonderful experience with meeting great clients who are very communicative and it has been a wonderful experience growing my skills and my portfolio! I highly recommend.
I have been providing Amazon related services on Upwork from past two years and without any doubt this platform is the best for freelancers as well as clients. Best and active support. Love it!
One would have thought a job marketplace as safe as this would be unachievable, looking at the rate of cyber insecurity, but Upwork boast of such a safe virtual workplace environment.
Its impact to deflate balloon of skyrocketing unemployment is incredibly great.
For me, it has boost my monthly turnover. I can't wait to win more jobs, deliver satisfactorily, earn more badges and turn it from side hustle to main career.
I would Like to take this opportunity to thank you Upwork for maintaining a high standards which is what's makes them stand out and the only trustworthy freelancing platform.
However, the availability badge option should be reconsidered as it ask for a minimum of 6 connects per week to keep our profile visible which is not good.
With taht being said i am overall happy with Upwork.
Thank and God bless you.
Best Regards,
Tausif Ahmad Khan.

Upwork is that platform you can use to improve yourself and your ability to pitch and write proposals. It's a really competitive space so it'll challenge you to improve yourself to be able to get your proposals accepted and subsequently get hired by prospective clients. The only downsides are having to pay for connects and the Upwork service fees. I once got paid $10, for instance, by a client but I ended up getting just $7.0.
Upwork allows me to work from home and make decent money. I recommend it to all workers around the world, you will not be disappointed.
Great Upwork, Recomended site freelance site for working online remote to meet client at worldwide, the best Upwork
I've been using upwork for over a year and have had a great experience. The site is easy to use to apply and manage contracts. With the new updates both small and enterprise companies reach out to me.
Upwork have helped me to jump start my career 15 years ago and even now it is helping me. Instead I started my company Techgallop.com here on UpWork. Though there were few bumps on the road and few more on the way but I am glad I am still working with Upwork.
It challenges me to continuously improve my skills and add my team at Techgallop.com more to our arsenal in order to keep up with the intensely competitive market.
If you are confident in your ability to learn and adapt, this platform is highly recommended.

If you want to work with foreign customers, earn more money than at home, and work from anywhere in the world, you at Upwork!
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!
