My God you are awesome. I didn't know it that there is suspension happening even though I am already 4 years in Upwork but I just knew this information from you. Thank you so much!
I've recently been approached to give Upwork a look. If anything I'd only be interested in it as a way to supplement my income as side work. Reputation badges sound very similar to what Stack Overflow did recently. You can't provide a solution to a question until you get so many points. The way that I use Stack Overflow I doubt I'll ever measure up to the very subjective standards they've set to ever provide help on a question again. No bother I just answer the question in 5 other sites to keep balance in the universe. Having to keep up activity on a site that is designed for freelancing seems like it might take away from the original concept of the independent person trying to escape that heavily laden vendor list control monopoly that controls the IT contracting market now in the US. If you set out to make no more than $10,000 a year why should you worry about being penalized for turning away work once you've made your quota. Also if the pricing is not competitive why should you worry about having to bid and take more money because you are required to meet a quota set by the service gatekeepers? How can you be certain that it is not by design to undervalue the freelancer?
Hi, thanks for this video. I confirm my account has been suspended for using too much connects to apply for many jobs :p but wherever the stars you get it doesn't matter looks like the siteweb policies have emerged on the freelancers talents again with regulations. Now they are giving us tools te get freely suspended '' 60 connects" the idea is to be wise but my problem is with the lack of notifying the freelancers. I have sent them an email and they have moved my account from unpermanently suspended to permanently ! I've been there from odesk to upwork and I think reorganizing the platform needs to happen maybe categorizing freelancers because there is low-level competing with very high ones and clients budgets had been going down these last years. But not this way of changing simply because they are not suspending on the basis of qualification instead they are choosing the most friendly friends to their keep changing policies. I just would like to notice that you don't know how far can do the freelancers if they are keeping it together. Upworks-in freelancers you don't know to where these policies are going obviously they are trying to keep upwork very different from the others siteweb focusing on luxious and fancy freelancers to make the luxious clients come to the platform. But when that happens, the rates will change again and the freelancers will do all the work and the platform is taking mostly half of it.
Hi. This was very helpful. How can I get a Rising Badge even before getting my first job? I thought that you can only get this after you have done few jobs/projects. Any requirements or tips pls?
Hello! Sir; I freelancer on upwork, But my profile with dummy pic. Image is good but not real pic of me. Now Upwork did not allow me to change it because my profile is pending due to video call verification. Even that I give interview on video call , will not be issue about profile pic? please help
Hello there, I am permanently suspended on upwork, they say that I use more than one account. I have a client user, freelancer user and agency user. I don't know what I am doing wrong!
thanks @Mitche23 awesome, that means I can continue with the new account, I would like to know is there a way to restore my freelancer account, I had almost all my jobs at a 5 star rating and great feedback from my clients. I will close my agency account if that's a help, I have currently three logins with one email!
Yes it was permanent, i got a job on the same day i was suspended. There is a link to appeal the decision in the suspension email, don't open a support ticket use the email address, the appeal decision will be check by revision board. I told them i am not a spammer and i am serious freelancer, that is just the broad story, you have to make your own case for why they should unsuspend you

Hello there,

they say that I use more than one account.
I have a client user, freelancer user and agency user.
I don't know what I am doing wrong!
You can only use 1 email address per account. If you have 2 or more accounts per 1 email they will ban you
thanks @Mitche23
awesome, that means I can continue with the new account,
I would like to know is there a way to restore my freelancer account,
I had almost all my jobs at a 5 star rating and great feedback from my clients.
I will close my agency account if that's a help, I have currently three logins with one email!
Well i still don't know about that, if they find out you are coming from the same IP address they may still ban you.
I was un-suspended
Can you tell us how?
