Upwork

One of the best freelancing websites I have got. Must recommend other freelancers to move on with Upwork

Great to create work opportunities for world wide, I say's just Thanks. This my first freelancing marketplace

Professional and Expert designer. Graphic design related any project I can do create very shot time.

Good supporting team and on Upwork, we will get the only real client. I have been working last 3 years

For people just starting to freelance, Upwork seemed like a great start if name recognition is your sole standard of an efficient platform. It may seem difficult to actually land a contract at first; and unfortunately, that's not helped by cits reputation as being a swarming place for exploitative, bottom of the barrel clients. But Upwork's always been transparent and proactive about payment policies (including their own percentage) as well as ensuring payment protection

Or at least they were. Recent policy changes in client/freelancer communications insist that Upwork is the sole platform to discuss projects with prospective clients. Which wouldn't necessarily be such a bad thing If their conferencing and messaging options were in the least bit reliable. Their time tracker is notorious for inaccurate captures and crashing every two weeks, forcing reinstallation I've had several instances where a contract has been suspended due to unresolved payment resolutions with clients I haven't interacted with for YEARS (who indeed paid in full) only to find those suspensions negatively impacted my job rating. And Upwork's new policy of rewarding "badges" to top earners doesn't just encourage underhanded competition. It encourages an atmosphere based on financial incentives solely; not the quality of your work

But scammers continue to abound on Upwork. As do abusive, insulting and downright exploitative clients. Upwork can control that to some degree, but they've shown a whole sale lack of standards when vetting contractors in comparison to freelancers (who typically need to jump through hoops to optimize their listed services.)

While Upwork isn't the only game in town, they're the most reliable. They're also the most secure. But their policy changes and customer service are positively abysmal. In most cases, you won't be able to feed your family off of Upwork. But if you're looking for an additional source of income or are willing to adjust your lifestyle to fairly austere standards in order to freelance full time, it can be one of many solutions. A flowed solution, but a solution none the less. Just make sure you know what to look out for.

Love me some elance... you have to look through and find the right contactor but it has made my life easier. My resume rocked.

AXhive solutions are scammers! Beware! They are not professionals and will leave you with nothing. The little work I did see was subpar.

If you are looking to work long term, upwork is best platform.
You will get best customer support and high quality.

Upwork is the greatest business platform I think. It is a very trusted site for the clients and freelancers. Highly recommended.

Upwork is one of the best places to work on the internet. It is a super organized and top-notch professional environment.

A great organization with highest values. Make a bridge between client and seller with trust. More then millions people work here.

I started getting many clients from Upwork and a really good platform for freelancers and startups. It really boosts my career.

You are working on upwork but only system is win, it cost you 20% of yours and gets you connection money.

Upwork is a quick and easiest way to get a job and paid by clients. Best freelancing platform in the world

It is the best freelancing site. Highly recommended to work on the Upwork platform if you are a highly skilled person.

They charged me for the inactivity fee, while it is their freelancer who do not deliver! What the hell is this?

I have worked as VA and WordPress Designer on one of the FANTASTIC online work platform of our time! HIGHLY RECOMENDED everything on Upwork is authentic and use friendly.

I was working for almost 2 years with upwork. The just suspended me without explaining and reasons. When I ask why I get always the same stupid answer.

STAY AWAY! THIS SITE IS JUST $#*!! F*CKING EXPENSIVE WITH THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!

As an Instagram marketer, I can say my honest review that it helps me to grow my career!
Now I my earning is more than I expect in past.

I have been to Upwork for more than 7 years. All I can say is such a great experience. It's already a livelihood to me.

I found this platform and it's really change my life, It's really a wonderful freelancing site, solution of any problem always there. Thanks a lot.

Its great way to earn in this period. We ca search for freelance work from home with great pay scale and with convenient work time.

Worst company ever. Steals money from Freelancers. Sides with those who post jobs. They don't care one bit about the freelancers who do the work.
