To date, Upwork is the largest freelancing site in the world. The platform acts as a sort of intermediary for business owners and clients to find freelancers and independent contractors capable of providing in-demand services.
Upwork boasts an impressive catalog that includes logo design, e-commerce development, writing services, voiceover recordings, WordPress and more. Clients seeking these services can create accounts on Upwork and then browse the profiles of available freelancers for hire.
On the other side, freelancers capable of meeting these needs may set up their own accounts, apply to jobs, and leave their profiles open for clients to send over job invitations.
Over the years, Upwork has been consistently tracking and documenting the rise of independent contracting. More people are freelancing either part-time or full-time. Collectively, freelancers contribute billions to the US economy on an annual basis.
Amid the new year, it’s pertinent for contractors to understand how they can make the most of Upwork.
Having an up-to-date, highly rated profile
Freelancer profiles go a very long way on Upwork. They often end up as the determining factor in whether a client sends a contractor an invite to apply for a job, responds to the contractor’s application, or merely continues to look for talent elsewhere.
