Ask Should freelancers diversify instead of relying only on Upwork?

[Edward22]

Depending on just one platform for all your income can be risky, since account suspensions or sudden policy changes can happen without much warning at any time. Many experienced freelancers now suggest spreading your work across different platforms and even building your own client base outside Upwork, so you are not left stranded if something goes wrong. This approach takes more effort but can protect your income better. Should freelancers stop relying only on Upwork for work?
