Upwork is a site where you can find work based on your skills. I've been working for the site for 8 years, more or less, and I have been paid regularly. But work has been slow this pandemic, so right now, I'm jobless . Have you ever tried working at Upwork? What were your experiences? Here's the link in case you want to try https://www.upwork.com/

@Jenaisle I heard that it is quite hard to get in and you have to pay a fee or something?

@rakski No, everything is free. No fees. All the other sites I have tried required fees, but not Upwork. and there is a variety of tasks for everyone.or for any skill set.

Yes, I did earn during the past, it's enough to finance my personal monthly expenses. But now work has slowed down due to the pandemic.

@jefferson126 I know, the websites didn't slow down. I usually write posts for websites or eBooks. But my employers are no longer sending me tasks. Perhaps, they hired new ones. I don't know the exact reason as they haven't responded to my queries.

What is your skillset? Glad that you are finding some gigs there. I guess I signed up there long ago, but never did any bid.

I tried it many years ago and it was good. The problem is they needed me to retake exams which is not easy. So I decided to not to retake exams but instead study FOREX trading instead.

@Jenaisle Yes it is but the learning process is hard... But the good side no need to pass hard exams and no competition.

I've been hearing about this Upwork site for a long time. But I haven't had time to visit it yet. What are you doing there?

I usually write post for websites, YouTube or eBooks for employers. You could also write down dictations, or research, or do website maintenance, or design websites, there are lots of offered tasks there.

There are countless of jobs but I find them difficult for me. , so I'm looking for tasks that require not too much research. My previous employers have slowed down their sites, so I'm jobless.
