You've been using the wrong platform. You're better off using one of the following instead:
1.
XBTFreelancer2.
WorkingForBitcoins3.
cryptogrind4.
CoinalityTake note: I haven't tested any of them.
it's against Upwork's rule to be paid outside their service.
This.
Yes, these are the few top bitcoin related free lancing sites but they have good and bad aspects too. Since the sites are new, you will not find as much work and job as you will find in traditional Upwork site but the positive thing is that users on these bitcoin sites are less which give you more of an opportunity to grab a job with much less competition.
