What is freelancer.com you may ask?

It is essentially an online freelance platform for businesses to use to post jobs, and to receive quotes nearly immediately from top freelancers across the globe to do the said job. 

It is the world’s largest platform for freelance work - with people looking for anything from engineers and software developers through to graphic designers, writers and marketers. There is a huge market for it. 

It may be the largest platform, but there are many freelance platforms. 

Let’s find out what else is out there…

Fiverr

This is one of the top global marketplaces for what we call “micro-jobs” or what Fiverr refers to as “gigs”. These range in price from just $5 to $500 - so if you’re looking for people wanting a full website design, this probably isn’t for you.
