Freelancing has become extremely commonplace in the digital age with 57 million freelancers in the US alone (34% of the workforce) bringing in over $1.4 trillion dollars per year. Although this colossal market is only getting bigger it is plagued with plethora of issues and challenges. Users struggle with hefty platform fees, low work quality, payments fraud and delays, unresolved issues, scam projects, and this is just “the tip of the iceberg” of almighty centralized control structure that can wipe out careers in a flash.
