Anyone actually getting legal clients off Upwork?
Was on Upw͏ork looking for a translator for a client matter. Got curious about the legal category. There's actual work there.
Contract disputes, fiduciary breach, N-400 applications, corporate stuff. Some of the postings pay $75 to $250 an hour. Clients have verified payment and real spend history on the platform.
Marketing has been a money pit since day one. Lead gen platforms eat your budget and send you people who can't pay. Google Ads CAC never made sense for the volume I was getting. SEO takes 18 months before anything meaningful happens.
So now I'm looking at this Upwork thing wondering if I missed something obvious or if it's a trap.
Anyone here actually closed a client off Upwork? Or is the legal category full of people who want you to incorporate an LLC for $50 and stiff you on payment?
Not asking about the ethics angle, I'll handle my bar rules myself. Just want real numbers from anyone who tried.
