I’m looking for someone who actually uses Upwork to answer a basic question. It’s nothing private, just a general thing I want to know.

Hello,

I want to start doing Social Media Management on Upwork. I’m new and don’t have much experience, but I’m ready to work hard. How often do you usually get reviews? Do people on Upwork give feedback as easily as Fiverr?

Is it like Fiverr, where you finish one project—like managing social media for a week or a month—and then get a 3, 4, or 5-star review?

Also, how long does it usually take to reach about 18–20 reviews?

I mean people on Upwork who seem like they’re from another planet, offering fixed-price projects, like $45 for a week of social media management. The pay is really low, but I’m not doing it for money—I just want the review or testimonial.

So my question is: if I do these low-paying jobs, will I actually get testimonials? How quickly do clients usually leave them on Upwork?

Thanks!
