Absolutely happy to work on this site. Interesting job, payment protection. Everything is convenient and understandable. Easily find a job in that area that interests me. If you have questions, the support team responds quickly. A great option to make money without leaving your home. And it's a good place to find great professionals for your project.
Just stay away from UpWork. The worst platform for freelancers.
They use a score system that makes your feedback stars completely useless. I have 5 jobs completed successfully with 5 stars each and my success score is 60%. Many clients refuse to work with me because they ask: Why is your score that low?
I talked to UpWork support team about my score and is like talking to a automated script. They keep sending me pre-made answers and links.
Just stay away from it. You will regret investing time in making good reviews. Is just a waste of time
This site could be good, but the majority of the jobs are junk and the amount of money they charge is way too much for the service they provide. Most jobs that are not, do my homework are people looking for someone in third world countries that will do their job for them. I have had some nice low paying jobs editing and proofing for non-native English speakers. So I proof someone's blog for 10 dollars and receive 8 dollars. Not so great. 100 becomes 80 and so on. Most of my freelance work now comes from word of mouth, Craigslist and other places. Then I get a notice my account will be suspended if I am not more active on their site? Doesn't freelance mean you work when you want? I did not sign any contract with them.
Upwork isn't worth it. I did work for a fixed rate of $100 and then only $40 was "paid" and never went into my account because Upwork pays nothing for work under $100. If you are a bright writer desperate for work don't take this route. Imagine that you get a nasty smell reading this review, as if something in your fridge smelled wrong. Get it, like I didn't get it, because I love to write. Something is wrong with the site, the feeling you get when you're lied to.
Upwork has provided me a platform to earn money by utilizing my skills. It connects me with various clients around the world who demand the services that I provide (i. E. data analytics and management consultancy). Moreover, I can easily manage my personal and professional life since it allows me to work from home.
The interface is such a smooth experience.
Whole website is designed to make it easy for the freelancers to get projects.
Fair way in handling money related issues.
Great place to find all kinds of works.
I'm working as a freelancer since 2012 in Upwork. Upwork is a true place for the people who are like to work as a bird. You can fly anytime and when you need some urgent money you can try in this marketplace and hopefully I think you will be the lucky person. Hard work gives you true happiness and Upwork will help you a little bit more to build your career.
Upwork has provided me a platform to find and secure projects and roles within my area of expertise. For the past 18 months I have successfully worked and earned on UpWork with a variety of clients. In fact, just yesterday I launched my own freelancing business due to the success I have had. I truly cannot say enough about the ease of use and the quality contracts I have worked on.
I have found Upwork to be a very good online workspace. It has a very good platform and it provides a range of tools and resources to work efficiently and conveniently. Additionally, the community is very diverse with dynamic and active support forums, in case you face any issues.
The only suggestion I have at the moment is perhaps increase number of connects for a new account and decrease processing time of the payments or the % of the fee for growing accounts.
I'm really enjoying my time here. Highly recommended!
Jarrett Cedric Yap helped me out regarding my issues I was facing on Upwork and I must say that he explained me everything in details. And told me all the step to follow. I really appreciate the work he is doing. And due to his help, I am rising talent on Upwork. Thanks a lot.
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.
