I posted a job on Upwork to tell the world how freelancers lose their money. I got 8 proposals. Each freelancer spends around $2 USD to send a proposal. A client do not need to spend any money to post a job. So I lose nothing by creating a job. Now, I neither hire any one of these people nor close the job. All the 8 freelancers lost around $16 USD collectively. In the same way, anyone can create a client account and post a job for free and leave the job without hiring anyone and without closing the job. Upwork does not close the job automatically to refund the money to the freelancers. The client need to close the job to refund the money to the freelancers. I do not know how many jobs are created on upwork like this without hiring and closing the job?

Why don’t most clients hire after posting a job on Upwork? It can be frustrating to spend Connects applying for jobs, only for the job to close without any hire after 30 days. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝟰 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 1. They posted the job on multiple platforms and hired a freelancer from another platform. This is a common scenario, as finding the right fit can be challenging. 2. Clients might not find a suitable freelancer initially and post the job again to attract new talent. This is often seen when clients receive unsuitable proposals. 3. Sometimes, clients fix the problem internally instead of hiring a freelancer after posting a job to address a specific issue. This is a common occurrence among existing clients. 4. Some freelancers post jobs to learn how to write proposals and bid effectively. What other reasons do you think contribute to this pattern? #upwork

It's been a month since I posted for an Upwork BD role on Indeed and LinkedIn. Unfortunately, 60% of the CVs I received are irrelevant. Even among those who are contacted, many are beginners with no experience, yet they label themselves as experts. Finding the right talent is a tough challenge! #HiringChallenges #RecruitmentStruggles #TalentAcquisition #UpworkBD #LinkedInRecruitment

Dear Upwork Support, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report a discrepancy I have noticed regarding the spending displayed on one of my client's profile. I have been working with this client for the past few months, and my records show that their total spending on our project amounts to approximately $15,000. Even when including Upwork fees, the total would be around $17,000. However, the client's profile currently shows a total spending of $27,000. I am certain that the client has not made any additional payments to other freelancers during this period. This discrepancy is causing confusion and I am seeking clarification on why the reported spending is significantly higher than the actual amount spent. Could you please investigate this matter and provide an explanation for the discrepancy? Thank you for your attention to this matter. #upwork #upworksupportteam Upwork #freelancer

Joined a News and Crypto website as a VA (virtual assistant). The job is easy. Updating contents. It was X amount asked by me. And I really worked hard on it and made improvements and try to look it more professional. I woke up with a message from the client on Upwork that my payment per week is increased and increamnent was not bad at all! FYI- I didn’t ask for it. I simply worked hard and going beyond the boundary. I learnt a lesson, if you really add value, the value comes back. I think I can do great jobs in news articles. I know the hacks by default.😃 Jurjen de Vries , so I got a new client after being stuck for few times. This client is sustainable and nice. Good source of income. I thought I will post this to everyone. Be happy for me guys 🙏

After Fiverr got banned, I decided to try Upwork. It didn’t make a big difference because these things are just part of life.  Then, I got my first client on Upwork. I spent 12,000 PKR on connects and got a $50 project. The client even gave me a $5 bonus! 😊 They were very happy with my work.  Two weeks later, the same client messaged me on WhatsApp for an urgent job. They needed 150 messaging conversations for an ad campaign in just 6 hours. I had 3 pending consultations, but I decided to take this job instead. In 5 hours: ● I set up a New Page. ● Added Facebook Cover. ● Design a quick Logo. ● Launched the campaign. The ad had to be in Arabic and target specific countries where Arabic is spoken. After doing some research, I set up the ad with the correct targeting, and it ran smoothly. The client was really happy with the result and said they would give me more work in the future.  This project was worth $100, but it’s just the start. Upwork shows you that building strong connections and staying focused on your work leads to success. It takes time, but if you keep at it, you can achieve your goals and become top-rated.  P.S. It's the power of strong connections, just like I mentioned in yesterday’s post.

As an Android Developer, I know that encountering and resolving errors is an essential part of the coding journey. Each error is a learning opportunity, and the satisfaction that comes from finally debugging and resolving an issue is a victory in itself. However, it’s concerning that in many cases here in Pakistan, progress is often measured by the number of screens developed rather than the overall quality and problem-solving that goes into the code. Error resolution may be invisible in the final product, but it’s what builds a robust, functional, and reliable application. 𝗔 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 Leaders and managers, let’s broaden our view of progress in development. Let’s celebrate the small wins in error resolution and recognize that each solved issue brings us closer to delivering a quality product. Your thoughts? Have you experienced this too?  #AndroidDevelopment #ProgressBeyondScreens #SoftwareDevelopment #ErrorResolution #Leadership

I got scammed on Upwork, in my early days of freelancing.🚨 ( Here is what happened ) ↳ After days of staying consistent, I finally landed a job (you all know that feeling) ↳ After starting the contract, the attitude of the client completely changed and he changed the deadline to “before the weekend” ↳ Like any other freelancer, I was eager to get a 5-star review and sacrifice everything for that. ↳ I completed all the tasks before the weekend and the client also promised more work (with a laughing emoji. At that point, I didn’t know what it meant) On Monday, guess what? ↳ I received a notification from Upwork: “Contract has been paused” and it turns out, there was an issue with the client’s payment method. ↳The client had already fled the platform leaving me in the ditch with a loss of $200 :( PS: Have you ever been scammed on Upwork?

I wanted to reach out to those of you who have experience with Upwork's Top Rated Plus badge. Specifically, I'm trying to understand the criteria for earning this badge. I've heard that having a single contract worth $15,000 USD or more might be a requirement. However, from my research, it seems that $10,000 worth of earnings within 12 months could be sufficient. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate or if there are additional factors to consider? Your insights would be greatly appreciated! Upwork #upwork #freelancers #upworksupportteam

One client on Upwork used me. It was supposed to be a $100 job that would last for 72 hours. I agreed to go on the contract with this client. We started off good, with him acknowledging every step of the job because, like I always say, keeping clients informed is their right and so that was what I did all through. I was done and he asked me to do some touch up. I did exactly that. But he changed immediately and started saying he didn't like the job, lol you don't like a job that has gone through four stages? Well, that's fine. What do you want me to do to adjust? I asked. He said he didn't want anything anymore. That he could pay me $26 and still leave me a good review with 5 stars. Well, in a platform that only respects client more than they respect their freelancer, that's what you get. So I allowed him to go ahead and pay the 26$. To say the least, I was bitter but that was a lesson I learned. To break my job into milestones. Milestones on Upwork are essentially checkpoints in a project where you can request payment for completing specific deliverables. For instance, if you're writing a blog post, you could set milestones for completing the research, drafting the content, and finalizing the piece. Once a milestone is completed, you submit it for approval, and the client releases the agreed-upon payment. This system offers several advantages. Firstly, it protects freelancers from clients who might try to shortchange them. Secondly, it provides a clear structure for the project, making it easier to manage and track progress. Lastly, it gives clients confidence that their money is being used efficiently. #cynthiaozumba #virtualassistantservices

Hey freelancers, please research clients before applying for a job on Upwork There are so many scammers, and you'll lose at least your connects. When you see a word that is "easy" be careful. Check client histories, and check client's payment method. Verified or not. Read the job description, if they are asking easy task for an unrealistic price it is likely a scam post. #upwork #freelancer #scammers

This is ridiculous❓ Is posting a job on Upwork a fun thing❓ I was exploring Upwork jobs to apply to and saw this one. This is just one job post I am sharing, but there are many like it. Sometimes, clients post three to four job posts for the same project, and they don't even hire for a single one. Upwork freelancers are losing many connects due to fake job posts, and no one cares. We spend hard-earned money on buying connects and applying for jobs. 💸 We don't just report these fake job posts to save our connects; we also help you guys make your platform more professional and secure. This is all we can do. 🙌 -------- If you have seen any fake job posts, please share in the comments, tag the Upwork team, and repost if you agree. . . . . Upwork Upwork upwork #upwork

👿 Few days ago, I started writing proposals on Upwork. After sending just 4 proposals, I got 2 clients. 🌈 This shows the power of my proposals.📣 But But But Unfortunately 😱I lost my first client on Upwork due to a lack of confidence. 🥴I hesitated to ask questions and clarify details, fearing I might seem inexperienced. This led to misunderstandings and unmet expectations. I learned that clear communication and self-assurance are crucial. 𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐓𝐢𝐩: If you have even a little knowledge about your work, stay confident—you can do it! 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞: Now, I always seek clarity and approach projects with confidence, ensuring better outcomes and client satisfaction. #beconfident #bebrave #ummelaila
