Freelancer is one of the best websites for freelancers who are looking for freelance jobs all over the world. It is also one of the most popular freelance websites and has been in existence for a very long time.

Freelancer is not just for freelancers only, but also for so many other companies and individuals who want to offer freelance jobs called "projects" to freelancers. 

These companies offer jobs such as data entry, logo designs, website design, transcription, captions, etc. They also hire writers to write articles for their blogs, projects, etc.

There's a limited time for freelancers to bid on a project. A project could be open for bids up to 7 days and when those days are exhausted, the project is closed and a freelancer is chosen to work on it.

Apart from just bidding on projects, freelancer also combines something else to its platform known as "contests".

Freelancers

Freelancers all over the world can join this platform and work to earn some money. They can bid on any project they like such as logo designs, data entries, article writings, etc. 

Freelancers can also take part in contests like logo contests and win if the contest holder chooses him/her.

I must also say that getting a project to work on in this platform can be easy, but can also be very difficult especially for new freelancers who join the platform.

For a freelancer to easily get chosen for projects, he/she will have to increase the level or rank of their profile by either upgrading their membership or verifying their profile details such as email, driver's license, ID, payment methods, etc. 

Without doing such, it can be very difficult to get chosen to work on a project as most companies look at freelancers profiles before giving them their projects to work on.

How much can I earn?

Well, the answer to this question depends on your capabilities as a freelancer. Freelancers with complete, accurate, and verified profiles are the ones companies and individuals tend to give their projects more often except for contests.

As a freelancer working in this platform, you can earn from $50 to $20,000 or even more on a single project, and $3 to $1,000 on a single contest. To signup, click here.
