Overall Satisfaction with Upwork

I use Upwork specifically to find freelance projects. I am a sole proprietor and therefore the only one in my organization who uses it.

Pros

  • Providing me with opportunities specific to my specialty.
  • Matching me up with clients.
  • Making me feel secure about being paid.

Cons

  • I don't always show up in key-word related search for my skills.
  • The talent managers constantly invite me to apply to jobs that are not appropriate.
  • Dispute resolution is pathetic. The person who was in charge was barely literate.
  • Job posters should have to be more specific about what industry/type of business they are in.
  • Convenience
  • Free of charge
  • Helping me find jobs on a regular basis
  • Many repeat clients
  • It accounts for 75% of the work I do.
  • I can pick and choose when and for whom I want to work.
  • It gives me the options of short term and long term work.

Would you buy Upwork again?

It is a great way to be matched up with projects that specifically align with my skills. It really helps me find clients in my particular niche, whom I would not necessarily found on my own or vice versa. It's not appropriate for full-time or salaried part-time work.
