I have read many articles focusing on the negative aspects of Upwork, whilst I agree there are some negative factors about the platform, there are also many positive ones too. Below are my earnings since January which is sustaining my travels around the world currently.

What is Upwork?

Now, for those of you that didn’t know Upwork is the world’s largest freelancing website. This is what made me curious when I read other articles from people saying they were unsuccessful. Perhaps it is about how they are applying themselves and not a failure of the website.

You can create a profile, search and apply for jobs, and obviously earn money on Upwork. It works for both skilled and non-skilled professionals. If anything Upwork is extremely diverse in terms of what roles you can find on the site, this makes it useful to any freelancer.
