Upwork allows freelancers to find work. It also allows companies to post jobs to hire freelancers.

You can work as much or as little as you want on Upwork.

My Upwork homepage

You can work 1 hour a week or 100 hours a week on Upwork; it’s totally up to you.

Make $5 a year on Upwork or $500,000 a year on Upwork; again, it’s totally up to you.

The sky really is the limit when it comes to freelancing or contracting on a website like Upwork.

Why To Care

If you’re interested in a second income or even going full time as a freelancer you should be interested in Upwork.

A few nights ago I was looking for a good project that I could complete in under an hour. I had an hour to waste and I was playing a video game so I figured why not. I found a posting asking for a website review for a medial website. I applied for the proposal and was hired. Within 20 minutes I answered the guy’s questions about his website. I told him what I suggested he do from a design stand point, how to speed up his homepage, and even gave him a few tips on wording and verbiage used in the website.

I could have done many other things to waste time instead of further building my portfolio on Upwork. This will help me acquire future work on Upwork.
