Introduction to Upwork

Many people have heard about Upwork over the last few years but don’t understand it. I heard about Upwork in 2018, when I was still a fresh freelancer on Fiverr.

Then, Upwork was a myth as only a few people had an approved account making money in dollars. Because of this gap, some people started charging to approve Upwork accounts, becoming a booming industry.

The Upwork approval template was decentralized as time passed, and many people could now approve accounts. But are they making sales?

In the last two years, there has been a significant increase in freelancers who have tried or want to try their luck on the professional freelancing platform.

This is because Upwork is more professional than any other conventional freelance marketplace and is tailored toward building a sustainable freelance business for yourself.

We have gotten the introduction to Upwork out of the way, now is the time to talk about what Upwork is.

What is Upwork?

Upwork is a freelance marketplace where people with skills like you merge with businesses or hire managers who need such skills to build their businesses. In simple words, Upwork is like a market where different wares are displayed. Those who need these wares go to this market to shop and, in doing that, pay a certain percentage to shop there. Those who sell goods in this market pay a specific rate to Upwork for using their platform to sell too. If you look at it well, it is a win-win for everyone.
