One thing to keep in mind with hourly projects is the work outside of your main service you are offering. Dealing with scheduling, emailing, and reporting hours all take time and energy. If you are doing 1099 or subcontractor work in the US you are paying/losing roughly 1/3 of the rate in taxes.

So far, I am have found Upwork and related sites to be a complete waste of time. I do not know what other people's experience have been, but it has been more beneficial to invest the time in my portfolio/website, taking classes, or looking locally.
