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.
