How many active freelancers here (Upwork) with unlocked profiles?

[#1]

Hello everybody

It's interesting, how many active freelancers are here?

It seems to me that not millions.

I'm going to find how many profiles are indexed by search engines.

Simply interesting. Going to use the info for my tiny blog.

Will find the number now & compare in a few months.

Cheers

As I see from the statistic - this place is open for already high levels.

And shut for a new ones - for 90+% - it's waste of time (looking to statistic)

I was lasy to use my free connects because I'm low level.

The most interesting for me question now is - how many from 90+% will go away?

As for you - it's very good - less competition

As for me - I'm earning in another places and don't care very much

A majority of people who claim they are leaving, won't. I don't think 90% means much without the $$$$ attached, so the people who leave are probably not making any money anyway. They might buy connects idk, but if I was making no money, I might just forget about Upwork and move on. idk I see this place as a goldmine. I could see me at least trying to make some money. That's how I started on elance. Just saw that people were making money and wondered how I could get in on this action.

Seems to me that it's 1st April Joke about paid connects!

Maybe I will start using my free ones (sometimes)

This place is very good for high levels few %s !

But it's so funny if unlucky 90+% will pay for their hope only.

It's April !
