work history is github or linkedin or gitlab to show your the real examples. But the ideas around connects, fees, it's really unsuitable to deal with the platform. Even the job post could be dead because the author left the platform and found the freelancer in the other place. and as result the connect points could not be restored. at least I had such experience by buying connects to apply and then I skipped this idea and didn't come back.

I lost believe to work via upwork to be honest. I have the profile 10 yo. and after the changes with connects to use to send for the dead job posts as result it's really unfair. then they added more commissions and the rules are always changing.

I feel like now it's better to search the job in LinkedIn via the connections and the jobs posts with Fast Apply option. I don't promote LinkedIn but it's more attractive for me for now.

Also what you get by paying the huge commission and timer that screens you? they don't help you promote, autocomplete cover letters, what the real advantage in this case.

for my case with google ads I don't even get any reasons to be suspended and no luck to fix it somehow. I was promoting my indie games with no income actually.

exactly. I heard only the good words about fly actually :) You don't break things like google services with their clients.

I don't use google ads now because of suspended account for the last 2 years. No luck to get the response about the issue from their support. I would say never use google products. They are not people oriented. They charge for the digital products without having reliable communication. if you want to grow it's definitely better to keep using the other services.

I don't recommend anything else but have you heard any cases about digitalocean or amazon or fly or other platforms? also it's possible to write to support and get information about any kind of the issues that you are getting for any kind of the reasons.
