In reply to Maria. Thanks for letting us know! I opened a handful of job listings just, and 8 to 16 is where I see the application cost.

In reply to Richie.

Hey Richie,

About 1/4 of the site’s revenue comes from outside the U.S. And, not all U.S. businesses limit their jobs to U.S. only. So, while it doesn’t have as high of potential for non-U.S. freelancers, there are still plenty of opportunities.

We mention that because we mostly have a U.S.-based audience.

Hi, you said that most clients limit hiring people only in the US? I’m in Europe, is it still worth my time signing up to Upwork due to said limitations?

Great Misty and good luck! Upwork is definitely a good place to get started on. You can consider Fiverr as well. Here’s a comparison between the two platforms:
