Super transparent guy who doesn't gatekeep vital information. You have my maximum respect. Not many like you who don't give info without some sort of paywall 👏
i personally recommend you please don't show your personal profile of upwork on any social media some hater's wasn't consume/absorb your success they try to reporting your profile's & try to spamming on profile's
samething happened to me on tiktok. 1 of my videos blew up and for some reason people started reporting it as a sponsorship even though it wasn't. luckily tiktok just sent me a notification and didn't ban me
I'm glad you got your account back. This is a perfect real world example of why it can be dangerous to only have one platform. If they take it from you you're screwed. Keep growing so your mistakes can never defeat you!!
Bro there will always be haters and I would say they are here watching you build, and some get salty so one of these people here probably reported you. Remember be transparent but don't show your accounts anymore because some people don't want to see you win. At the end you're still giving game to us that's a real professional. Keep winning bro, just no more specifics.
They may have came across your youtube channel somehow and suspended your account due to the hourly thing. I'm just randomly guessing cause nothing else makes sense.
I was wondering the same things. Yeah, must have just copy pasted the same job title and description and caught caught by the bots checking for that. Either that or the screenshots of the work being done (assuming they were using the Upwork desktop dashboard for hourly work) somehow connected the two contracts.
Hey @ThomasIm, great video! Just wondering, doesn’t this term breaks your whole business model? I think it would be wise to start moving outside of the platform slowly… you’re at their mercy. I moved my web business because of that
Could you show the proccess of taking a client off upwork without breaking TOS, maybe go into detail on what payment proccessor you use and how you invoice etc. Would be great and im sure it wouldnt take long to film
What about sending zoom links and stuff in chat, wouldn’t that count as taking communication off up work ? I just want to know the proer A-Z process without violating TOS
Quick question Thomas. I am confused how will the agency work if I am not able to outsource the hourly project? Is the policy is for individual freelancers only or agencies have to remain cautious as well ??
Thank you @ThomasIm for always sharing with so much love to the world, I’m learning a lot from you and implementing it all in my Upwork journey, I’m glad you got your account back 🎉. Lots of love from Nigeria 😊.
My Upwork account was suspended too but they didn't send an email about it. What I did is went to the customer support and created a ticket but up until now, no feedback from them about the status.
Then they send me the link of the ticket to view the status but upon clicking, it requires to log in to view the status. But the problem is, how can I if my account was suspended. Do you have any suggestions to solve my issue? Thank you
Another lesson for you, _ that people are always jealous of what you do, If you are making money trying hard, people see them. And make things out of jealousy. Now on try to avoid showing upwork accounts publically. You provide valuable information. Just for some damn shit peoples, I don't wanna loose that.
how did they know that you used a profile picture that wasn't yours? was is because it was a google picture or because they know from looking at your ID?
@@PEBBLETHEREBEL1985 Yes but the real rule is even if that's fixed contract you can only outsource if the client is aware that you're outsourcing so you need to tell them. They banned me permanently without any reason or warnings I was not even outsourcing the work.
They suspended me for accepting a job of a scammer without a warning and they're not removing it. (I didn't knew he was scammer when I accepted the job)
Long term upwork i not the best solution because it going to constantly keep shutting and getting off. I understand you are making courses which one reach any far. Couldn’t be you buddy😢
Hello Thomas can you help me please I have same problem and the "Apply now " button not active so I can't submit any of new proposal to get hire from clients and I have more 50 connects so please can you help me me to fix my profile
Hi,Thomas i hope you are doing great! it has been a week since I made up my up work profile but I did not receive any fifty free connects even though my profile is completed I really need your help❤
Of cause your profile will be under survey 24/7 ... You created a video showing how to message clients off Upwork and all .. honestly the more you post content on Upwork here, the more attention you bring to your Upwork profile... So unless you make sure you keep all the rules... Another ban might still come
Well truely agree. When you get your account get suspended for 3 times and 1 permenent ban it kinda felt like handling daily normal day. But dang guys read the fcking tos take the time nd shut up and read you will really appreciate it

Yes for sure they repport him
Agreed 100%. He underestimates how awful people can be
samething happened to me on tiktok. 1 of my videos blew up and for some reason people started reporting it as a sponsorship even though it wasn't. luckily tiktok just sent me a notification and didn't ban me
how his name is litterally Thomas Im, you want him to legally change his name or sum
Is this true? you get suspended by some jealous loser? My account also just got suspended all of a sudden 😔
I'm glad you got your account back. This is a perfect real world example of why it can be dangerous to only have one platform. If they take it from you you're screwed. Keep growing so your mistakes can never defeat you!!
You showing the power of overcoming unexpected obstacles and persistence
Keep focusing on success!

Hey Thomas, one thing that may help you is by creating your own agency on upwork. You're allowed to do that and can do hourly contracts.
How would you run your business if you would get permanently banned on Upwork?
No idea, but I'd figure it out
Prayers for you, keep us motivated brother. Keep posting for the NEW comers
From all upwork youtube videos, yours are exception , your honesty is visible.
They may have came across your youtube channel somehow and suspended your account due to the hourly thing. I'm just randomly guessing cause nothing else makes sense.
a viewer reported him
How did they know he was outsourcing? was he posting job listings to hire with the same job listings he was getting hired to do???

Hey @ThomasIm, great video!
Just wondering, doesn’t this term breaks your whole business model? I think it would be wise to start moving outside of the platform slowly… you’re at their mercy. I moved my web business because of that
Hey, can you share how you moved your web business outside of uowork?
You can outsource the work outside Upwork. It's still a win
So, outsourcing is illegal, which means the middle man strategy is also illegal. Does this mean your business model is not working?
Bro did you really just say that. Outsourcing is done right in front of your eyes in your day to day life. The hell are you going on about.
You can outsource fixed but you CAN also outsource hourly if you make an agency account, as opposed to an individual account.
Do you advice to start on upwork these days? Any other platforms?
Upwork is awful tbh. It's effing confusing and doesn't really help you with your concerns.
Good work with customer service, they seem to be on the ball. Good on Upwork, and good on you Thomas 🤝
The jig is up then? Pretty much assumed this was inevitable.
How would you navigate from hourly to fixed fee projects? Wouldn’t it be hard to convince the clients for that? Thanks
Could you show the proccess of taking a client off upwork without breaking TOS, maybe go into detail on what payment proccessor you use and how you invoice etc. Would be great and im sure it wouldnt take long to film
You can’t it’s against TOS
But u can def give ur email and end the contract on upwork after doing some work for them
@@Minako9888 what about arranging a zoom meeting does this also flag TOS up as im sure you'd have to send the zoom link in upwork chat

There are people who admire your success and work ethic, so keep up the great work!

They make money off you. That is why they want to keep you.
I’m sorry this happened to you but thank you for the reminder and example of what to do
Another lesson for you, _ that people are always jealous of what you do, If you are making money trying hard, people see them. And make things out of jealousy. Now on try to avoid showing upwork accounts publically. You provide valuable information. Just for some damn shit peoples, I don't wanna loose that.
Unfortunately, these days most of online correspondence is automated. So don't really rely that you will get a response from a human.
alrighty so whats the plan now? what will you do about hourly jobs?
how did they know that you used a profile picture that wasn't yours? was is because it was a google picture or because they know from looking at your ID?
How did they manage to figure out you were subcontracting the work?
I recently was “Permanently Banned” and I don’t use it. I haven’t even opened it in >18 months.
My Upwork account get permentaly suspended, is there any help you can provide please?
How would they know you are outsourcing?
Because he outsources by using Upwork to hire the outsourcers
@@PEBBLETHEREBEL1985lol that was dumb idea
@@PEBBLETHEREBEL1985 That's the equivalent of outsourcing your work and office by having your friend come over and doing the work while you are there
@@kathitpurohit7446 it’s not against the rules
Only if it’s not per hour contract
@@PEBBLETHEREBEL1985 Yes but the real rule is even if that's fixed contract you can only outsource if the client is aware that you're outsourcing so you need to tell them.
They banned me permanently without any reason or warnings I was not even outsourcing the work.
They suspended me for accepting a job of a scammer without a warning and they're not removing it. (I didn't knew he was scammer when I accepted the job)
I would be down to work with you although I don't think upwork offers as much as per say your company would be out there on it's own
Long term upwork i not the best solution because it going to constantly keep shutting and getting off. I understand you are making courses which one reach any far. Couldn’t be you buddy😢
So that's why I couldn't see your profile.
7:05 ain’t no way😂
I also did this, It is actually true, you will get suspended 100%
RIP homie

So unless you make sure you keep all the rules... Another ban might still come
You were definitely spammed with reports
I was just watching your previous video 30-45 mins ago and lol you just got suspended now too? looks like you got risk because of own doing
It was happened with me before 2 years and got back account within 4 hours.
