Freelance Websites With Low Competition

Freelance Websites With Low Competition :

Today, we're going to talk about some of the best freelance websites currently available that you can try out if your goal this year is to figure out how to make money online as a freelancer. My blog's ultimate goal is to help other freelancers or people who want to get into freelancing figure out how they can do that and make some money for themselves online.

Best Freelancing Websites :

So with 2022 just about to end I want to provide you with some options of freelance sites and platforms you might want to try out if you're considering freelancing. One of your goals for the new year is to make money online. I'll just point out that these options aren't ordered in any particular list they are just what I say they are options they're all options that are available to you and if you're brand new to the world of freelancing you might want to consider trying out a bunch of them to see which works best for you.

1. Bribe :

The first website that we're talking about in this blog is bribe.com according to LinkedIn bribe was founded in 2019 and unlike some of the other freelance platforms I've either used or had experience with bribe offers a pretty unique value proposition users so if you visit their homepage they focus on both influencers and freelancers so if you're looking to hire an influencer for a paid or sponsored post bribe can facilitate that type of interaction which is pretty neat but for the focus of this video we're focused on freelance platforms and bribe is a pretty interesting offering for freelancers as well with a big focus on everyone potentially being a buyer in the world of freelancing bribe positions itself as a really good option to outsource work and delegate tasks it's a great thing that you can do as a business owner or even as a freelancer looking to you know outsource a lot of your work to make your business run a whole lot easier and automate a lot of your processes.

2. Fiverr :

Next is fiverr.com Fiverr's been around since 2010 and it has been growing like crazy Fiverr, in my opinion, is one of the biggest freelance websites is a lot of buyers and a lot of sellers so if you're someone who's looking to get into freelancing there's a lot of opportunity and things you can do on such a large platform one of the things I like most about Fiverr is they're strictly per gig pricing model I think that's a great way to get people into the habit of selling on value based on price and the other thing I really like about Fiverr is that it's a super easy platform to get set up on and start selling your services it's also super easy for buyers it's really straightforward they have a clean checkout process and I've enjoyed my time on Fiverr as a seller for the last three years you should definitely look into it.

3. Upwork :

Next, is another heavy hitter in the freelance space that's Upwork formerly known as odesk Upwork or odesk or elance whatever you want to call it was founded back in 1999 and like Fiverr is one of the earlier freelance platforms when thinking about freelance websites I always think of you know potentially spreading yourself out across a lot of them but I look at a couple as being the main places to start your business based on their sheer size Fiverr is obviously one of them and Upwork is the other they're a huge platform and it's a great place to really stake your flag in the freelance marketplace like I mentioned in my bit about Fiverr I really like Fiverr for per gig pricing what I'm not so fond about when it comes to Upwork is that the platform is primarily a per hour pricing model and I know you can do per gig pricing on Upwork but the fact that per hour pricing is so baked into the platform's culture I'm not a really big fan of that because from a freelancer's perspective especially for freelancers who are not really the most skilled negotiators it can be tough to sell your services for what they're worth because people are going to beat you down and look at your services like a commodity if they're just looking at your per hour price but that being said Upwork is still a fantastic option for new freelancers.

4. Fiverr Pro :

Next is Fiverr pro marketplace so Fiverr Pro is technically a part of fiverr.com but i list it as a separate freelance marketplace option for you all because it is technically a separate part of Fiverr's site Fiverr pro is a hand-picked offering where sellers have to actually apply to become a part of Fiverr pro and they say like only one percent of people actually get in it's a great place for people who have an existing portfolio existing work experience or you know a lot of history in whatever skill they're selling it's a great place for you to apply and enter this very exclusive marketplace I'm a Fiverr pro and I've been at Fiverr pro for the last couple of months and it gives you access to a totally different type of buyer on the Fiverr platform prices are higher projects are usually bigger and the expectations and the stakes are a lot higher because you're expected to operate like a seasoned professional so if you fall into that category you should definitely check out Fiverr pro as well.

5. People Per Hour :

Another great option and this is one I haven't tried out myself but a lot of people online consider it a really great platform is peopleperhour.com people per hour has been around since 2007 and I'd consider it a pretty established freelance platforms it's one of those platforms I know a lot of freelancers you know really trust and a lot of companies I've heard of a lot of businesses who purchase services from people per hour like a lot of these sites people per hour is great for people and freelancers with varying skill sets there's a lot of different categories and a lot of different options that you can tap into on people per hour if you're looking for freelance platforms this is definitely one you should also consider.

6. Guru :

Last on the list is guru.com so guru was founded in 1998 so it's been around for a while and i actually did a little experiment with guru a couple months ago it's in my opinion one of the smaller platforms and based on what i've seen a little bit of a lower quality and lower expectation type of platform it's not my favorite but it's definitely something you should try out and consider because it might be a good option for you one of the things i didn't really like about guru.com was the interface it was a little clunky and as someone who focuses most of my time on selling on fiverr it just didn't provide me with the best experience getting it set up it was just it didn't flow that well i didn't really like the user interface i also noticed that a lot of the types of services on guru.com weren't really at the level that i wanted to sell at as someone who's used to being a fiverr pro seller but for newer freelancers or people who just want to diversify that might not really matter one really solid pro that i am actually quite fond of when it comes to guru is ever since i signed up and created an account i get regular emails from guru.com letting me know about jobs that might be potential good matches for my skill set and this has been pretty cool in the early days the matches were pretty ridiculous and weren't really aligned with.

Freelancing Business :

What I thought I should be getting but over time I've noticed that some of these matches actually align pretty closely with my skill set and the profile I created on guru.com so it's a great option for people who might want to start on a smaller platform and be a little bit more proactive in how they sell if you follow up to these types of requests you could really you know to land some great deals, I'd imagine all right so these are all the marketplaces I'm going to be mentioning I know there are probably a ton more and more coming out every week just popping up all over the place but these are some options that I thought I put in front of you that you can check out if you're looking to get into freelancing this year check them all out. Remember it takes time to build a business and that is also true if you're building a freelance business so whether you're choosing to start on one of these platforms or all of these platforms make sure you have a plan and you have the patience and the ability to execute on that plan don't give up I wish you a ton of success I hope you make a ton of money freelancing this year.
