Does Upwork Really Work? by Arthurmillz(op): 8:17pm On Feb 26, 2020
I am a Graphics/web designer and I would like to try out a freelancer platform. I feel Fiverr is too saturated. Has anyone worked with Upwork here? I'd like to know if you when you submit proposals you actually get responses? I have submitted two and I yet to even get a notification that my proposal has been seen.
Also is there any issue with the app or the desktop version better.
Lastly is there any better platform I can work jobs from faster?

@arthurmills 2 proposals are too small to land any job as a newbie withoiut any badge or review cool

Be more strategic with your proposals and send more to job posts with little budget

Thanks for this. I try to go for the jobs with entry level experience knowing I wont yet get a chance on expert level without a job score etc. I noticed I need 'connects' to be able to send proposals. A little baffling I must say
