Hello everyone,

I am MD. Shuvo 

As we know, Upwork is not just a platform; it's an active ecosystem where countless individuals come together to establish connections, build dreams, and create success stories. Today, I want to shed light on the power of those apparently small actions that jointly shape the grand arras of our community.

Imagine a world where every keystroke, every line of code, every written word, and every designed pixel is a brushstroke on the canvas of progress. That's the world we inhabit on Upwork. The upwork community is a place where newcomers are always warmly welcomed. I am one of them.

I am new to Upwork. Nice to meet you all. 

Hopefully, we can share our talent with each other like root of a tree.

Thank you all

Shuvo M.

Dear all,

 

I am Thu Rein from Myanmar. As some of you may already know, Myanmar has been facing significant challenges for a while now. Unfortunately, these difficulties have also affected my job and income, leaving me in a tough situation. I am in need of finding alternative ways to earn money in order to support my family, as we are living in poverty. That is why I turned to Upwork with hope. However, I am currently experiencing difficulties in verifying my ID. The verification section on my phone only provides the option for a passport, which I do not possess at the moment. Instead, I have a government-issued ID and a driver's license. If it would be possible to include these options in the ID verification section, it would greatly assist people like me in Myanmar.

 

Thank you.

You have to have a skills or anything that a client would need, build your profile and work on your portfolio. There's a chance. I am also new here since September 2023 I started to build my profile now I've already taken 19 jobs already. Keep on researching also about the platform. There's so many scam posting and scam clients beware.

Ofcourse, thank you

Hello there,

My name is Uchenna Sunday, I am a voice-over talent, and I am not particularly new to Upwork since I have been here for about 3 years. However, I most definitely must be doing something wrong or not doing something at all as I have not gotten a single talent from Upwork ever. I actually believe I do really good voice-overs.
I need help guys... Please, help me... anybody.
