I have been working as a freelancer for two and half years. It’s wonderful to be a freelancer working in various clients projects. If you are a freelancer then you get projects from all over the world through which you can raise your standards to international range. This is controversial to traditional jobs.
Here, I like to share my opinion about three major freelancing sites which helps me to improve my freelancing career and earn money. I hope this article would surely help all the freelancers to connect and collaborate with clients on freelancing jobs through these sites. Let us discuss and analyze about freelancer.com, elance.com and Greatlance.com and find out who will be the winner in freelance competitive race.
Freelancer.com:
I started my profession in freelancer.com. It’s a great site to work with. From buyer’s perspective, it takes only few minutes to post projects and receive response for it. Freelancers get wide options to choose projects in various categories like writing, web designing, programming etc. Therefore you can pick a project in your skill specific category. Freelancer.com would be the best site for beginners or budding freelancers. It’s easy to sign-up, bid on projects and work on it, if you win the bid.
Pros: it’s the best market place for small business. Many employers are posting projects and you have wide scope for bidding in projects that suits your skills.
Cons: the quality of projects posted is significantly lower.
Greatlance.com:
I entered in this site to get average scale projects. The users of Greatlance.com enjoy enormous benefits with zero percentage of risk. Buyers can post their projects with free of cost. However freelancers need to pay commission which is very less when they win the bid for freelancing jobs. I will highly recommend you to use this site when you prefer small/medium kind of project works. Membership policies are adorable in this niche. I am a premium member and hence I get first preference than normal members in bid winning process.
Pros: very effectively managed, user friendly site. It is a reliable freelance auction site for its users. This site provides guarantee for excellence and time limit.
Cons: Very less projects and more number of freelancers. Thus buyers have wide choice to select freelancers however freelancers need to struggle a lot to compete with others.
Elance.com:
It is the best outsourcing site for huge scale projects. Buyers can almost post any kind of job requirement since various categories are available. Buyers post jobs and also display the bid range which they like to provide for the projects. Sellers can choose the bid amount in the range mentioned. It is possible to track work progress through workrooms. I worked five hours per day. My clients viewed my daily worksheet; hence I get paid according to it. And it’s easy to become a reliable freelancer through this.
Pros: the steps followed to become a user of the site are simple.
Cons: poor customer service, site looks pretty old.
