Great services. Great services. I am buying on UpWork for 2 years now, and never got dissapointed. Yesterday I received my last order (job completed) and I am more then satisfied. Looking forward for a even longer relationship.

site that extracts data and money Freelancers have to make a public profile with a photo of their face, first name and city, which is enough information to identify you if you live in a smaller town or just have an unique name - at the same time it doesn't influence scammers with a very common name or those who are unreachable anyway. Clients don't have to do the same and there are lots of scams. You need to pay upwork to apply for jobs, so freelancers are basically paying to get scammed. At the same time, actual clients aren't happy with the results, as the site focuses more on people's appearance and names (this whole site looks like Facebook), rather than verifying their portfolio and work experience. It is a perfect place to mine data though.

Lots of good experiences over many years I've used Upwork for many years for all kinds of projects and it really is pretty good. Perhaps if you are having trouble with your projects perhaps it is because you are picking the wrong clients or freelancers? ...that isn't really Upwork's fault. I will say Upwork login/password procedures are quite awkward. More than any other website I have used I have had password issues. The issue when resetting password it asks you to verify in app ...which is no good if you are not logged into the app. Extremely frustrating

Complete waste of time and money A complete waste of time and money. Their pro membership gives you more connects, but it doesn't help you get work. When you're starting from scratch its literally impossible to get work without any reviews. You can be the most talented, experienced professional in your field but you'll lose out to a cheap off-shore solution. I've spent hundred of dollars on membership, sending proposals, cutting costs to the point of it not even being worth it, and still no interest.

By far the most annoying experience… By far the most annoying experience I've ever had with a freelancer platform. My account is simply blocked for no reason and despite repeated requests. What exactly the problem is, is referred to the terms and conditions and after reviewing the terms and conditions, despite repeated correspondence, I see no reason that justifies the blocking. I can't get any clear information from support. For me, this is nothing other than the biggest scam. How can you block the account of someone who is economically dependent on it? That's unbelievable. I will never use this stupid platform again.
