Hello and welcome to ‘UpWork Freelancing: Your guide to finding remote freelance clients’.
UpWork is the world's largest freelance marketplace and for the last (almost) three years now, I’ve been using UpWork to find remote freelancing jobs that allow me to work from literally anywhere in the world.
You see, before I got started on UpWork, I used to rely quite a bit on personal networking to find my freelance clients but the great thing about using UpWork is that whether I’m working from the beach in Thailand or from an apartment in Brooklyn, New York, I can both find the work and perform the work from literally anywhere. All I need is a computer and a internet connection.

February 2013 is when it happened. Upwork was still Elance-oDesk, I’d been on it a few months, I hadn’t had much luck and was ready to move on. But, I stumbled across a blog post (now since deleted) from the company, itself, where they explained their client-to-freelancer matching algorithms. The keys to how their entire search and matching system worked.
