As a freelance writer, I’m sure you have asked yourself…”Is Upwork a scam?”

If you do one quick search on Google, you see how many reviews and videos are out there condemning Upwork. 

It’s not a scam but there are some major differences out there so it’s important to know the details before applying for gigs. Watch this video where I break down the key things you need to know as a freelance writer on Upwork.

As I mentioned in the video, Upwork has some pros and cons like most writing job boards or marketplaces.

While I don’t think Upwork is great for the long term, I think it can help you launch your freelance writing career. My first paid gig came from Upwork and gave me a lot of confidence as a writer. 

This led to a lot more paid clients and a full-time income working at home.

If you’re a brand new freelance writer, check out these helpful video below. I’ll give you plenty of Upwork tips to maximize your profile and land clients as a beginner.

Hopefully this Upwork review and videos were helpful and can land you clients. And remember, if someone asks you…”Is Upwork a scam?” to send them this post.
