Both fiverr and upwork are online market areas where you can hire freelancers to work for you or get paid to freelance. But the two of them work differently. On Fiverr you create a list of your services and you will make money when someone buys your services, on upwork you make bids on jobs that are available and when the client chooses to hire you, you will.make your money. Upwork is said to be more suited for jobs that require specialist knowledge, Fiverr on the other hand is a platform where you can find way easy, small and quick jobs that are very cheap. Do you work on these platforms? Which one will you recommend for upcoming freelancers?

It depends on your choice, some people are on Fiverr and some are on Upwork, some are on both and some are even on alternatives or more than that for example SEOClerks . However if you ask, then I will only recommend which have better reputation among others with whom we discuss; as most of people among here are not good on fiverr and upwork, so choosing among these two is your own matter, but from my experience by discussing with others, fiverr is better than upworks.

Both platforms are good for newbie members but according to my experience, Fiverr is good for those who are new to this field. There ,they can easily post their services and can get customers according to the interest of audience. Upwork is new and it needs more special skills to get customers. So I will recommend Fiverr.

Freelance will remain on one of the best easy to make money on the internet. Freelancing offer someone chance to become their own boss and work at any time the feel like doing it.

There are many sites which offer Poeple the opportunity to work as a freelancer. These include both Fiverr and Upwork.

I will always choose Upwork any time, any day for some reason. The only hurdle is to get accepted on Upwork. And you have to do set up your profile very well in order to get accepted.

Fiverr is very tough for the newbies and old seller. Their policy are very hard. You have to be online all the time achieve 5 minutes response rate. Fiverr takes from both seller and buyer after their first commission when order is placed.

The only place where new seller can make quick money, offer wall has been blocked. This mean to make first couple of sales you have to promote your gig and drive traffic to Fiverr.

It has been a matter of great regret that in spite of trying to sign up into fiverr or upwork as a freelancer, I could not succeed. I did not know where and what the reasons are. It was a long time ago since I had tried. I would again endeavor to enter.

Both sites are good, so if eventually I'm interested in becoming a freelancer, I will just go with both. I want to believe that there is no restrictions to having account on both sites? That said, getting people who want your service is another difficult task to overcome as an upcoming freelancer.

if you signed up with fiverr it means you have no other thing to do with your life except to be online 24/7 on the platform. Fiverr is highly demanding and it is not favourable to new seller except if you can generate sales I have said the system of the platform. You are going to wait for lunch if you are expecting the search engine of the sites to give you sales.
