Top 3 websites for Freelancing

3.Freelancer

Freelancer is such a website that you seek a freelancing job, and the employer will be hiring you based on your bid and bid description. Freelancer allows you to seek jobs according to your preferences.

 

Advantage:

  • Freelancer allows you to seek jobs rather than the employer seek you.
  • You bid according to your preference within the given rate of the employer.
  • You choose your total time of working in a week.
  • Freelancer notifies you to add a new skill whenever you apply for a job with a different skill other than the skills in your profile.
  • You can see others' bids on the job you are applying for and adjust your bid description referring to others' bids.

 

Disadvantages:

  • Freelancer has a high level of competition and some times the percentage of getting a job for a beginner is meager.
  • Freelancer gives you just 6 bids at a time so that you can bid only for a maximum of six jobs.
  • If you buy their pro subscription, you will get very high benefits than the normal ones. This will make a very high difference between the normal and the pro.
  • Freelancer does not have stages according to your working experience or working power. This makes it very tough for a beginner to understand their capabilities.

 

2.Fiverr

Fiverr is such a unique website that you are asked to show your work in a special gig, and the employer will view your gig and hire you. Fiverr is a good platform with a great number of traffic.

 

Advantages:

  • Fiverr asks you many details compares to other websites before you create a gig. This allows your employer to understand you clearly.
  • When you create a new account, Fiverr shows a tutorial for beginners on every page.
  • Fiverr gives you different levels according to your experience in Fiverr. This allows a freelancer to understand his capabilities clearly.
  • After creating a Fiverr gig, you need not seek the job. The job will seek you.

 

Disadvantages:

  • Fiverr asks many details about you when you create a good new account, but it has a fixed percentage of completion of your details that is 65. This will be a little bit tough task for a school student or a beginner in freelancing.
  • Fiverr does not allow you to seek a job and apply. Just doing gigs and waiting will be a tough job for beginners, so that they will not get jobs for a long time.
  • Fiverr concentrates on SEO. The beginners who are not SEO friendly will have a tough time in Fiverr. So Fiverr is not recommended for someone who doesn't know SEO.

 

1.Upwork

Upwork is at the top of my preference. Upwork is a platform that has good traffic. It is similar to Freelancer, but it is better than Freelancer for a beginner. It is beginner-friendly.

 

Advantages:

  •  Just like Freelancer, Upwork also allows you to seek jobs according to your preference.
  • You can bid according to your need.
  • You can set the time of working with the employer.
  • You can search for jobs according to your reference only.
  • If you are a multi-tasking person, you can create a separate profile for your separate skills.
  • You can set your level according to your preference.

 

Disadvantages:

  • You cannot check others' bids and set your bid according to the competition.
  • You cannot use common certificates which you get by making some online courses.
  • You cannot make changes through the app; instead, you have to go to their website.

These are my top 3 preferences. 

 

My tips for freelancing on these websites:

  • If you are a beginner, don't hesitate to start. Every successful man has to start his career.
  • I you do not get jobs, be patient and learn what you are lacking 
  • Always keep your profile up to date, do not keep your profile like an essay. Keep it like a professional.
  • Always try to learn more in your career. Don't think that you are superior.
  • Always interact with others politely.
  • Don't make fake promises. Do your work in a given time.
  • Don't put skills that you don't know in your profile. This may lead you to the loss of your freelancing account.

 

At last, these are the things which I wanted to discuss. Please don't forget to review and comment.
