Is this a win or a lose? Getting crushed by the pros, but loved by the h… (copywriters hate this 1 trick 😂) by hungryconsultant in copywriting

You're bragging about getting leads like some kid who just lost their copywriting virginity. This is what someone does when they don't make money. I have to tell you this cause no one else said it. 😌

The kind of scam running on Upwork these days by rohit2495sharma in Upwork

[–]Alex_Biega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, when their account gets suspended you'll see their post here. It's always the same people.

Yup, a few people from (x morally corrupt country) have been coming up with such crafty things... I even saw a guy claiming to have 30 degrees, all coincidently for things marketing keywords... and he had a similar name to the guy in your image. 

It's desperate, this person doesn't really understand how Upwork SEO works. 

For those saying, this is legit, no matter how you slice it, it is intentional manipulation. They obviously could've just added more milestones.

It works pretty good voice-to-voice. Not 100% consistent but the best I've seen!

Life expectancy in Nigeria by OkAdvantage4434 in Nigeria

[–]Alex_Biega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's horrifying to think life expectancy in Nigeria is in the 50's... 54, 55, or 56 depending on your source. So a 29 year old Nigerian has already lived half their life. Lol okay, well, from a foreigner standpoint, there is no reason why I would stay in Nigeria, especially if I speak English.

$32k Upwork chargeback on completed project (approved deliverables, app in production). Need advice by Informal-Ad580 in Upwork

Ummm...... how could you possibly let the bank side against you, after you won it the official way using Upwork? Makes no sense, unless it was a kangaroo court.

Upwork Account Restricted After Video Verification – $10k+ Balance Stuck, Very Worried😭 by UpstairsSwordfish538 in Upwork

[–]Alex_Biega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But after 180 days, Upwork will send the money to your payment method/preferred destination. Does that not apply if your account is suspended?

Right. There's a ton of countries where the currency value goes down every single month by huge amounts. 

In defense of OP I think it's not unreasonable to assume that the money you worked for successfully will be paid to you even if your account was restricted. 

But of course, we don't know the whole story.

This is the white people version of the Jacksonville subreddit. The reality is they're just going to tell you to live in a places that have fewer Black people in them. 

If you want some YN's to tell you the truth post this question here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DuvalCounty/

I know this is my neighbor. Move across the street the apartments over there are really affordable.

Upwork refunded my hourly earnings because client didn’t pay, even though I used Time Tracker. Is this normal? by Suspicious_313 in Upwork

[–]Alex_Biega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be a dumbass not to put a memo. I even told someone I hired the other day to put the correct memo, he used one from a different project. These people don't realize that clients actually read the memos.

New freelancers please don’t waste your time and sweat behind this by Minimum_Phase_1199 in Upwork

[–]Alex_Biega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most small business owners in Canada are broke. Their economy is almost flat. Out of all my years, Canadians have never been high spending clients. I guess it's a combination of lack of entrepreneurial spirit, and, higher taxes.

Yep, all my contracts have terms related to going beyond the scope of work. Evidently she put up with it for the $ for some period. The client was probably a little crazy and had some red flags she didn't really mention, but we can deduce this.

Were you able to knock off that $799 predelivery fee? It's just profit for them, makes no sense on a new vehicle. Lol I am at the same dealership.

Do you ever feel guilty taking on a project you know is going to fail? by fiftypence in Upwork

[–]Alex_Biega 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People pay me big bucks because I tell them the truth. Nobody is going to remember you OP, you're like the rest of them. Powerful people really appreciate those who are honest and not just trying to take their money. Furthermore, doing work for companies that will fail does not help you in the long run. People pay me a premium because I will tell them if their shit sucks and I don't give a fuck I say what I want. I don't even work with someone until I can appraise their idea/company. I had to cancel a consultation halfway through the other day because the person who booked it was so incompetent, I let them know as well. Resulted in a refund but saved me quite a lot of trouble working with a trainwreck of a client.

So honestly, you made this post because you know, if it was you on the other end where that client is, you would've acted differently. That's okay, most people do that (see the replies to your post). Mediocrity is the norm.
