Previously known as oDesk, Upwork is a site with a huge reputation hosting over 1.5 million clients. Regardless of the freelancers’ experience, there are jobs for everyone, starting from the entry level to expert. And the jobs include long-term and short-term projects as well as those that are worked hourly or per-project.

After the freelancer completes the job, the agreed amount is credited to their account. However, the site deducts 20% of the value in the form of a fee for the services it provides. So, you receive 80% of the amount.

In case, you earn more than $500 with the same client, though, the fee lowers down to 10% on the jobs you do for that exact client and it continues to go down the more you’re working with the same person.

Here you can find out more details about becoming a freelancer on Upwork and what that brings you.

Guru is another special freelancing website that is known for the low fees. Moreover, the site takes only 8.95% of the sum the client pays the freelancer.

In the workroom (also called the dashboard), you can take a look at your profile, the jobs you have as well as the people you work for. There’s an option for you to add your portfolio and the previous projects you have worked on, too.

The jobs section is split into many categories including web, software, and IT; design, art, and multimedia; writing and translation; sales and marketing, and many, many more. The users can filter the jobs they view by budget type, location, and other filters to help the freelancer find the perfect job for them.

After choosing the job the person wants to apply to, they send a free quote, and hopefully, get hired.

When the work is completed, you send the client an invoice.

99 Designs

This is an online platform focused on graphic design. Some of the services sold on this marketplace consist of web design, logo design, and similar design projects.

On the site, designers get an opportunity to showcase their skills before the clients and get paid for that. After a certain client posts a design contest, all designers on 99 Designs are encouraged to submit their designs and say what their price is. That way the client can decide which one to hire.

But aside from this, you can create your own private project by enriching your portfolio and waiting for clients to find you or combing through the platform and finding them yourself. Of course, the site secures the payment in this case, so the freelancers don’t need to worry about getting their earned income.

In any case, there are certain fees that need to be paid for the services both the freelancers and the clients take advantage of. Usually, they vary between 30% and 40% from the amount the holder of the contest pays. So, directly, the designers aren’t required to pay fees. They’re taken from the value of the contests, depending on the contest’s type and the category it belongs to.

For example,

  • A bronze contest is worth $299 to the holder. Yet the winning designer receives only $190 because 99 Designs acquires the remaining $109.
  • On contests about designing business cards, they take $64
  • On contests about designing T-shirts, they obtain $64
  • On contests about designing a book cover, they take $99

There are three levels that the designers are sorted into based on their experience, the quality of their work, and time on the platform. The levels are entry level, middle one, and top.

DesignCrowd

DesignCrowd is a crowd sourcing platform with more than 500.000 designers working on it as freelancers. Functioning as a custom marketplace, it enables designers to sell their work and earn a fair amount of money.

Freelance designers have a few ways to do this. They can either look for jobs that match their skills or participate in contests organized by clients where they’re competing against other freelancers in attempt to get the job. In any case, you have a chance to get paid.

Moreover, the fees on the site aren’t very high. You can register your designer account entirely for free, but then you should pay a 15% commission on your earnings.

Also, there’s an affiliate program through which you can promote DesignCrowd on your blog and website and get paid in case a customer you referred starts his/her own project on the site. You can find more details about this here.
