01 / The work

What you actually do

Freelancers build an approved profile, search client job posts, and submit proposals describing their approach, schedule, rate, and relevant work. If hired, they complete hourly or fixed-price contracts, communicate and deliver through Upwork, and can qualify for payment protection by following its rules. Most proposals require purchased Connects, and Upwork also deducts a contract-specific freelancer service fee; review both costs and the client’s verified history before applying.
