Anyone Tried Upwork? (Online Job Contracts)

My H was telling me about it. I'm in the middle of creating a profile. I'm curious if people have had success with finding work. For those that are curious--it's a website that matches you to short term contract jobs that match your skill set. Or at least, that's how I understand it.

I've hired freelancers from it before for copywriting and design. Prior to me hiring her, my assistant was a steady freelancer and got most of her gigs from that site. It used to be called Elance.

DH uses it to hire freelancers for work all the time. Nothing but good things to say about it. But that's also from the hiring perspective, not the contractor perspective.

DD's godfather used it when he freelanced. I think it's best for some industries over others. Design, graphics, yes for sure - I can see others not being as solid. Worth a shot!

This. My H has hired low/mid level software people and designers from there.

I set up a profile and it was approved today. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the encouragement
