Is there any good alternative to Upwork for remote work? The last few weeks all I am getting interest from is sophisticated scammers trying to get work for free. The tricky thing is that these people still have good ratings on the site.
My last two projects were only two weeks ago. But at this point I am only a couple of weeks away from having to either beg my family for money or shelter or just becoming homeless which I would almost prefer in a way because I have never asked them for anything and really don't want to start.
If anyone has work, I have lowered my rate again from where it was before because I'm pretty scared. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/jasonlivesay https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/jasonlivesay
I did post in the who wants to be hired yesterday but no response.
- em-bee 3y agofiverr has been recommended to me, but my first impression is that it doesn't look any different than upwork. how much time do you spend on applying for projects?
- ilaksh 3y agoAs much as possible every day. But they have a limitation system called "Connects" so you can only do so many every day. The last few weeks I have had more people act like they wanted to hire me and turn out to be scammers or wasting my time than I can remember ever happening before. I have had multiple long "interviews" where it eventually becomes apparent that there was no job and they just wanted a free consultation.
