For years, I’ve hired freelancers through a site called Upwork. The site attracts many different professionals, so I’ve used it to find everything from cartoonists to software developers to copy editors. Some were great, some were disastrous, but none of them had ever tried to scam me outright. That is, until I met Lizzie. Lizzie’s freelancer profile on Upwork I needed writers for a keto diet website I’m building. As a native English speaker living in the US, Lizzie seemed like a potential match.
