why I stopped using Upwork 🤯
Upwork Challenges: Costs, Connects & Making It Work
Today I'm doing a video that you may not have expected from me - I'm sharing why I stopped using Upwork (spoiler: it was mostly challenges like the increased cost of connects and the platform's shift towards a pay-to-play model)
Even though I love Upwork (if you've been here a while, you'll know that), I'm growing more and more disappointed at some of their latest changes.
That being said, let me know if you'd like to see me do an experiment to extensively use Upwork with a fixed budget for a month and document the results for their audience.
