So I've just recently joined Upwork, but so far I have not had much luck. I find it all a bit complicated if I'm honest, and I hate the fact you have to use these things called "connects" to apply for jobs when you only start with over 100 and some jobs are at least 16 connects to apply for. After you run out you have to pay to get more.
The first message I got about a job seems to have been from a scammer as they wanted to communicate through the Telegram website, which after reading up on seems to be something of a no-no and basically means scam.
There are also a lot of "payment unverified" jobs which I always stay away from as I think that sounds shady as well.
So all in all not a great start, I just wondered if anyone on here used it? Or had much success with it?
