Posted by rubiyatsharmin Friday, August 4, 2017 0 comments
There are two well-known freelancer sites to get you out there to employers looking for virtual workers. In the world of scam work-at-home sites, it's reassuring that there are sites that are legitimate that you can utilize to start building a client base for your online business. Most people when starting out probably have horror stories of one site or another that they have fallen prey to. These unscrupulous sites will ask for money and deliver absolutely no help at all starting your outsourcing career. So there you are out the money you invested and still no closer to making money. But a few are tried-and-true sites that will help you reach your freelancer goal.

• Freelancer.com 

• Guru.com


Freelancer.com
Freelancer.com offers many membership levels for its new members to consider. One of these levels is the "free" level. This means that there is absolutely no fee to join and start bidding on work. The difference between the free level and the basic level is a few limitations upon service. Freelancers are allowed to sign up and build a profile free of charge. Then they are allowed ten bids on online work projects a month and 5 portfolios. When/if they are chosen for a project and successfully complete it for payment, they are levied a 10 percent fee on that employer's payment. They are allowed to test for and list twenty skills for employers to evaluate. The next level up from the free level is the Basic, which has a membership fee of $4.95 per month. This level will increase a freelancer's amount of bids per month to 50, skills to 50, and at this level they gain entry into to seven more earning perk areas.


Guru.com
Guru.com also offers a "free" membership level and has other fee-based memberships. So here too, there is absolutely no fee to join, build a profile and start working. The differences in the membership levels reflect a limitation upon the services extended to the freelancer. Its "free" members are allowed pretty much the same access as with Freelancer; but are not allowed to bid on some higher membership projects. Guru also offer skill tests, which can be taken and displayed for evaluation by employer; but some come with fees attached. Guru "free" members are allowed 10 bids per month. If they are chosen for a project then they are levied an 11.45 percent fee upon payment of the project by the employer. The next membership level up is the Guru membership and it has the advantage of more services offered, a total of 100 bids and a lower fee on payment for completed project, 7.45 percent.

So when and if you decide to take the leap into online work here's two sites, which have been time tested to deliver what you're looking for. There are surely more out there but doing your research is what will allow you to avoid the scam sites.
