What is Upwork ?

A business or individual can reach out to talents in various fields with a task, or, alternatively, post the job publicly and receive offers from said talents. As a talent, you’ll need to create an attractive profile and fill it with your skills, accolades, and previous work to showcase what jobs you’re suitable for and entice customers to select your services. Then just do the job, get paid, and move on to the next client. 

How do you get paid?

Upwork takes care of all of that so you can focus on producing your work instead of dealing with paperwork. The platform doesn’t just connect work with workers, but it also serves as a middleman between the two – it ensures payments always happen on time when work is delivered by essentially making clients pay in advance into Upwork accounts.

You can get paid in one of two ways: hourly or fixed. The client will specify in the job description which method they want to use. 

Upwork commission fees:

Upwork does take a cut from all payments that are made on their platform. The Upwork commission fees range from 5-20% and if you’re wondering specifically how much does Upwork charge, all you need to do is consult this table:
