The process is transparent right from registering as a freelancer to getting paid and reviewed for every work done
Searching for talent as well as technology stack could have more filters.
Gives me direct interaction with stake holders which enables me solve issues faster. I have been recognized for my work.
The initial payment of the client are reasonable and the client is across from the world. So getting exposure to work is more even earning more money per hour rate also good
Some are the client are offering work demographics only and they preferred their location so the posting of that type of vendors are not useful to across globe freelancers.
It's benefitted the very talented pool to get work from across the industries in the world. Opportunity for me to get the domain-related client to earn a good hourly pay rate in the mechanical engineering sector.
Upwork allows our team to easily find professional designers, editors and copy writers for projects that we need quick turn around time on. Rather than sifting through resumes or seeking out individual people online, Upwork makes it easy to search for what you need, set up projects for professionals to apply for and review their work in a time-saving and effective way. We have been using Upwork for several years now and have worked with data entry specialists, video editors, copy writers and more. Upwork makes the process of finding a digital creator to work with an easy one.
Once you find a professional you have to make sure to turn off applications to make sure that you don't continue to receive email notifications about inquiries. It's not so much a downside as it is an extra step to take but it is worth the trade off in finding someone you can work with.
Because of Upwork, we are able to create a higher number of blog posts and have copy for ads as well as graphics to use for social media and Google ads at scale. Working with several professionals allows us to prioritize the marketing tasks over the content creation tasks and the people we work with offer an affordable rate.
Monthly Free connects helps me find the clients that's the best part, otherwise there are so many freelancing apps in the market. It has 145.4 thousand core clients and I have the widest opportunity
Nothing to be disliked for Upwork. One thing is big freelancers eats the projects of yours. Its difficult for us to compete with them.
There is global unemployment crisis and especially during covid so I started freelancing on Upwork as a side hussle and I am happy with it. Will think about making it permanent in the future.
I like contact with clients and I feel clime when I make a deal woth them.
There is some problems with clients when we make offer.
I solve my problems with support team.
This is the best platform to upgrade your skills in any field at your own comfort and time.
There is a huge number of competion and you need to be aware and smart enough to crack the deal.
Easy to find work as per my requirement
The payment Protection Feature of the Upwork is the best thing. The competitive process of getting a job as per the set of skills is the important thing. Upwork is very committed to its commitments. If some client tries to fraud the client then Upwork is always there to help even from its pocket. Recently, Upwork has introduced awarding free connects if freelancers get a job or interviewed that is the best thing.
The delay in the hourly payment process is the worst. I am paid after 10 days of my work that is much time. They recently introduced a direct contract feature which is not smooth. One of my clients created a dispute at her bank and money was returned by the Upwork without my knowledge. Sometimes, submitting many proposals and not getting a job create frustration so this may be changed. Buying connects is nota good thing special for freshers who are not earning, facing difficulty in getting a job being fresher, and they have to pay for the connects as well which are consumed while applying for the jobs.
The main problem is a job or source of earnings to live a happy life. I am earning money vis Upwork being money is the biggest need. Smooth and secure earning based on my skills and time spent by me. I also realized that if you have skills, dedication, and time then you can earn a lot.
The friendly user platform. The customer service. Ability to make it your own.
The scams. People who think they can get work for free.
Working to find the scammers faster and block them. Helping to make it easier for clients to hire Freelancers easier. Ability to communicate easier with clients in more ways.
The best I like about using Upwork is that they help me find a job easily by using their platform. Its platform is very user-friendly and service fee is now in a low-rate status.
As of now, since 2020 of using Upwork, I have no bad experience using it. Also, I want to commend the platform for making it easy to use and find job for us.
I have been unemployed right now for almost 2 months, and since then I'm using Upwork, I can find a job that makes me feed and living everyday.
Upworks is a site that allows me to grasp a diversified group of Freelancers with a shared purpose. I am a small new company looking for help to grow and the Freelancers I hire have work random jobs for me and I value their voices, their insights of what they can contribute to help me grow. This shared purpose is what will make our company a success and I hope many of them will continue with me as we grow.
Nothing so far. I hope to continue using Upworks to grow the startup of the company and once we start selling, we hope to use Upworks for full time staff eventually. Thank you.
This site allows me to create a budget for my business since we are just starting.
I can get work done at a fair price that is normally reserved for large companies
Unsure about the stability of the worker you hire
Creating on line store, design options or ideas, logo solutions
It is like an ecosystem where in the freelancer and client have a secured feeling and this helps us to work dynamically. This adds up to the overall confidence on our career as a freelancer.
The service fee, but ofcourse we all know that the company has to get the percentage to profit since it is a business too.
They help me deal with abusive clients and fix all disputes when needed.
Having a phone app one the most amazing features UpWork has
Customers that never verify their account or hire anyone.
Finding customers in many different locations
The follow up of the consultant and community manager.
I dont find anything i dislike . I think it;s a professional system.
business problems is to match with customers. the benefit i got is that w are having more and more matching.
Easy to navigate and to check earnings. I've been using Upwork for one company only but I bet it's also easy to work for different clients.
Fees are a bit high. Apart from that, no complaints.
The company I work for doesn't have an office in my country anymore so they 'hired' me as a freelancer through Upwork.
We used Upwork to build our digital health start-up Eatearnity (www.eatearnity.com). It was amazing to work with talented individuals and agencies across disciplines like product (UX/UI design, Flutter, back-end), growth (ad visuals, ad copy), and legal. Upwork makes it easy to find, hire, and pay for the skills you need when you need them. It lets you defer hiring full-time roles, extends your runway, and helps your move faster. Before starting Eatearnity, I was a busy bee in corporate life and I can tell you that freelancers drive exponentially more output than most employees because there's no politics, freeriding, and other adverse behavior. Shout out to Upwork and all the talented freelancers out there!
I enjoyed the ride - nothing I disliked!
Upwork lets you find incredible talent you need when you need it.
Upwork makes breaking into the freelance world a breeze. I have been active on the platform for over a year now, and they have served by business needs. I give them my commission fees with a smile, because I know they've got my back and take care of so many things that would take a ton of time if I did it myself.
Freelances go through a thorough vetting process, which is important, because it helps keep chancers on the platform to a minimum. However, I would appreciate the same scrutiny when it comes to clients. They need to help people understand that it's not a place for finding cheap labor, but a network of highly skilled professionals.
Upwork has helped me to steadily grow my freelance editing business, and gives me a place to showcase my work to potential clients.
i like the idea of receiving job invitations along with sending proposals for the jobs.
i have no dislikes in this upwork platform.
i am solving localisation problems of my clients, and I am getting paid by my clients. it is the biggest benefit I am getting from UPWORK.
Easy to use. Not complicated or complex. Access to a wide variety of freelancers and agencies.
There is nothing i dislike about Upwork.com.
To have complex web apps or WordPress plugins developed from scratch, or great articles written. There is a huge scope of available talent available for most requirements.
Huge potential to explore global clients with ease. Unlimited and guaranteed payments. MS Office, Canva, Google Docs, etc. Unique platform with strict protocols.
Nothing to dislike, as the platform itself is a huge boon to freelancers even in this pandemic for a good earning. Sometimes project listings have a light lag..
Market research requests and have a long term relationship with potential clients. Yes through job score and other reports, it's awesome to be more productive. Yes performance increased with steady growth.
