Top 5 less known freelancing sites for beginners
UpWork and other
similar sites put pressure on you to compete with other freelancers and cut
your rates to acquire projects.
But, the truth is, we
all have to start somewhere, and even the most seasoned freelancers are likely
to have used a freelancing site to land a project or two at some point in their
careers.
These newly launched sites have less competition, allowing you to establish
your brand without having to compete on pricing.
1) CAREERGIG
Even though this site's name includes the word
"gig," it is not a Fiverr like platform. For experienced freelancers,
this new freelancing site has a lot of high-paying assignments. Jobs are
available in a variety of fields, including marketing, accountancy, data
analytics, coaching, and much more.
2) WORKSOME
Worksome is a new and
respectable freelancing platform that only accepts a small number of highly
qualified freelancers. It also actively promotes UK-based freelancers. At the
moment, the site includes just over 6,000 freelancers.
3) REV
Rev is
a platform that offers podcasters and YouTubers transcription and captioning
services. Transcribers are welcome to join the platform. If you're adept at
listening to audio and turning it to text, this platform is a great place to
start if you want to work in transcribing.
4)ZEERK
Zeerk is a
five-year-old freelance marketplace that is steadily expanding with new
freelancers every day. The site has a structure that allows you to charge
anywhere between $5 and $500 for your services. You can sign up and start selling
for free, but Zeerk will take an 8 percent to 20% commission on every sale you
make.
5) MICROLANCER
Microlancer is a one-of-a-kind freelancing website that pays freelancers in Bitcoin rather than cash. The platform is regularly updated with new activities and jobs, which are paid in Bitcoin once finished. This platform may not be appropriate for all freelancers. If you're interested in investing in Bitcoin, this could make it easier for you to earn Bitcoin.
LAST WORDS
Sites
like UpWork, PeoplePerHour, Fiverr, and Freelancer.com won't help you if you're
new to freelancing. To increase your chances of making money early in your
profession, opt for a site with fewer competitors.
