Porque é que a Upwork está a copiar o modelo de negócio da Fiverr?

Recentemente tive o mesmo pensamento quando recebi o pedido da Upwork para aderir à sua nova iniciativa de catálogo de projectos. Sendo eu próprio o melhor freelancer da Upwork, sinto que algo não está certo

Ainda, acredito que é disto que estás a falar

Algo que se parece com isto

Fiverr

Detesto dizer isso, mas o recente atalho de ganhar dinheiro da Upwork está custando caro à Upwork.

Felizmente a recente queda da Upwork tem muito a ver com a sua parcela de leões

Como?

say i win a contract worth 100$

Upwork will charge ~103$ dollars to client (+3%)

Upwork will release 80$ to me (+20%)

This is not it

To get there i have to buy connects so lets create a loop

One connect costs me $0.15 - not much right?

lets multiply this with six for a project worth 100$, connects count change with respect to size of project

0.15x6 = 0.9$ including tax it costs me 1$

So i am left with 79$

Not bad lets getting paid

Every withdrawal costs about 2$

okay 77$

Going to withdraw to local bank?

Here is another 3% deduction

Here you Go

74.69$ (USD)

I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT FIVERR BUT TRUST ME UPWORK IS GOING TO TRY SO MUCH NEW UNTILL THEY REALIZE WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THEIR BUSINESS
