Job Experience at Upwork

17th May 2022, 2022

2010 or 2011, I was about 12-13 years old then. I didn't know much about computers except some basic knowledge. Basic knowledge was learned in the school computer lab. But I would have known more than just basic knowledge if I had not played video games instead of learning various programs in the computer lab. Haha

Since I was a little used to running a computer, my cousin used to take advantage of this opportunity to do his freelancing with me. He worked in upwork, the first name of which was Odesk about 10 years ago.

The job was to bookmark. Since the task could be completed very easily and the same task had to be repeated over and over again, I could do it very easily. The work is very time consuming, so when the work was going on a software was constantly running. The software would take 2-3 screenshots per hour and it would reach the head office. The software was originally used to ensure that no one wasted time on work and no time was wasted on other tasks. Because as I said before, the work was based on time. They paid $1 per hour for work. Although it didn't take long to get the job done. Basically changing the page from time to time was a kind of work.

Because it was easy work, my cousin would put me on his computer and go to work in his office. But I was a little wicked, and naughty type of boy. My puberty has just begun. I was curious about pornography, but I rarely saw it. But when my cousin would let me go to work and leave, I would try to satisfy my curiosity in the work space. After each screenshot on the computer screen it would take some time to take the next screenshot. Sometimes the two screenshots didn't work. So at that time my curiosity would take me to different pornography websites. But my curiosity led me to an embarrassing situation that is too embarrassing to describe. However, due to my mistake, some screenshots of the porn site went to the head office, as a result of which my cousin lost his job. : 3

Many days after losing his job, my brother still doesn't understand why he lost his job. Hehe

However, Upwork offers more work than just bookmarks. One of the easiest things to do is to capture Captcha. Anyone can do these things and I can easily understand everything just by teaching me.

I worked as a cousin for four to five months at a time. Although there was some mischief in the middle of the work, he never did it again when his bookmarking work was gone. He works for about a year and earns about $1500, which means $125 per month. Where my contribution was about $700 to $800. But I didn't get $1 from there. He used me for his work but did not give me even 1% of what I deserved. But I did not regret it, because I did not know how much money he was able to make. I found out the amount of money much later.

He has built a new home with more than 3-4 years of income. But now he does not do any such thing. But relying on the experience I had, I wanted to start freelancing too but could not do it due to lack of money and a computer. But now I have a laptop or a mobile phone to work well but I don't have the patience to work like before. Although the purpose of buying my laptop was to learn graphic designing, it was not possible to do so due to lack of extra time. However, if you still try, it is possible to work on freelancing sites like fiverr, freelancing.com and upwork. But the main thing that is needed for this is patience.

Thank you, my experience wasn't so good at Upwork but it gives me a childhood vive haha.
