Curious to hear. I feel like this is one of those things (like fiver), where people are looking for offshore prices, curious if anyone’s seen success charging real fees (ie greater than $100)

likesmart

After all the fees etc feel like it’s not worth doing. I’d rather go walk someone’s dog than do my day job for less than my hourly rate.

I regularly hire through Upwork. For the stuff I need done, it's a balance between quality and cost. If you're not getting callbacks then your fee is probably too high for your area of work.
