Investor says Upwork falling short of potential. Cites several issues Lack of strategic clarity and focus. Upwork is not pursuing a clear, consistent strategy and appears unfocused and unable to prioritize initiatives, according to Engine Capital. It cited Upwork’s Enterprise efforts as an example. Poor execution. Engine Capital said Upwork’s platform continues to suffer from functionality issues that prevent broader freelancer and client adoptions. It also said too many scammers remain on the platform. Poor capital allocation. company has a long list of speculative projects which have questionable return on investment. Significant management turnover. My question...: who the hell came up with a commercial with a rotting dead guy as your spokesperson? https://lnkd.in/gAzVuwBm

Upwork has introduced a new feature: "Be the 1st to apply with instant job alerts"—for 65 connects! I won’t be surprised one day if they start charging us connects just to log in to our accounts. Imagine the next Upwork plan: "Want to check new messages? pay 10 connects!" On a serious note, it’s becoming tougher for freelancers, especially newcomers, to cope with these rising costs. How do you feel about these changes? Are these features really worth it, or are they pushing freelancers away? Let's discuss it!

Nightmare clients are exactly that… NIGHTMARES to work with. And if you're working on UpWork → BEWARE. UpWork updated its policy recently, and now freelancers can NOT remove client feedback from their profile. (Even if the review is completely unfair, like many of them are). Which means 1 thing: You have to be VERY careful of the new contracts you accept. Personally — I'm able to land a new "interview" on UpWork pretty much every day that I apply for jobs. (thanks to Copywhiz.ai's personalised cover letter feature 😉). But I only accept 40% of the contracts I receive. First, I complete the task… And if the client approves it (and is seemingly impressed), I go ahead and accept the contract. Truth is… Clients don't care about your reputation. They'll leave a negative review as if it means nothing. It's your job to take control of your reputation and only work with those who you can trust! 🙌

Why do Upwork sourcing agents charge so little? 😕 Here's why: The simple truth is that many—if not most—aren’t earning the bulk of their income from their hourly rates or package deals on Upwork. You can probably guess where this is going. Most are double dipping: 1. Building commission into the client's per unit cost AND 2. Getting a kickback from the factory Not to mention also getting commission from freight forwarders, storage facilities, customs brokers, or anyone else they introduce you to along the way. And most are not upfront about this. Why would they be? It's not in their best interest. But in my view, withholding this information from trusting clients isn’t just unfair; it’s morally wrong. It absolutely incentivizes them to want their clients to have higher prices and higher volumes—which is rarely ever in their client's best interest. So that $20 / hour Upwork fee might seem like a deal up front. But over time you will pay many multiples higher in actual cost. An even bigger kicker is that they may withhold the factory information to force you to order through them forever. This whole practice is wrong. So if you're hiring on Upwork, beware and ask a lot of questions up front. Or look at hiring a flat fee no-commission agency.
