UPWORK ALTERNATIVES: THE 10 BEST PLATFORMS FOR FINDING FREELANCERS

1

Upwork

According to Megan Overholt, who made over $600,000 on the platform, taking your client off-platform early without paying the conversion fee (roughly 12% of the freelancer’s estimated annual earnings on Upwork) can result in a permanent suspension of your Upwork account. While this fee provides access to various features and services, it can eat into your overall income and impact your profitability.
