I’ve heard about Upwork and was wondering if I should join or not. It sounds very flexible – you can choose your work and work as and when you can. It is tempting for me because I know I have writing and some photography skills, but I work a full time job so my time is limited, haha! Also, it does not hurt to have a bit of extra income 😛 Then again, with Upwork you can choose as little or as many projects you want to work on….maybe I will give it a go at some point 🙂
