80+ Freelance Platforms For 2019 — Choose Wisely
There are now over 100 freelance platforms that connect freelancers with employers. This fact becomes less shocking as you realize that a majority of the American workforce will be freelance in 2020. Freelancer oversaturation on platforms like Upwork is prompting entrepreneurs to rely on two things to survive and thrive: the ability to network and the emergence of industry-specific freelance platforms.
Freelancers and entrepreneurs alike realize the importance of building a company that can tend to very specific needs; hence the egregious list of freelance platforms below. For better or worse, this occurrence has led to the emergence of both phenomenal and sub-par platforms attempting to take their piece of the freelance space. Employers have it made right now, but for you freelancers, this global market is getting competitive. It’s time to find specific platforms that understand you, your clients, and your skill set in order to drink from the financial fountain of youth…
So, you must choose.
Choose Poorly
Your rates can drop significantly, you’ll be working more hours for less money, you’ll be forced to work with people you don’t vibe with, and you’ll waste hours of your day applying to jobs, submitting proposals, and customizing cover letters instead of actually using your core skills.
Choose Wisely
You’ll have better-qualified employers, less frustrating projects, higher rates, readily available resources specific to your trade, a like-minded community for support & questions, and you’ll spend less time marketing yourself and more time mastering your skills.
