This course was really helpful and gave me a much better understanding of how Upwork works. I also learned about some lesser-known features, like RSS, which I wasn't aware of before—although it's unfortunate that Upwork has since removed that feature. Overall, the course helped me better understand how the Upwork algorithm works. Thanks for creating such valuable content!

By Ebrahim Fadl Al-Azazy on 1/7/2026

thanks for effort, Good experience and content. I ask if there is a sample at the end of course showing us how to join Upwork and built our portfolio / account to making a deal. and present it to client. Best regards.

By Muhammad Talha Saeed on 10/2/2025

I am not new to Upwork. I just watched this course for something new. I think it has all the things for a new learner but it is quite old. Now Upwork has new features please update the course as you mentioned in the last it will be updated time by time.
