Top 5 Freelance Sites
by Nell Taliercio
Freelancing is a great way to work from home. Freelancers do anything from
writing to graphic design to computer programming. They are often hired by
businesses (small and large) for a particular project. It's a win- win
situation. The small business owner gets his website up and running, or his
press release written without having to create a new position in his company to
get the job done.
The Freelancer gets to do what he or she loves to do from home. The big question
is how do the business owner and freelancer find each other? They do it through
one of the freelance sites below.
On all five of these sites projects are posted and freelancers bid on how much
they would charge for the work. It is up to the company/person posting the job
to choose which freelancer they would like to work with.
- Guru.com - Guru is the largest
freelance site out there. According to their site they connect over 520,000
freelancers with over 30,000 businesses and employers. Guru is organized
into several categories and subcategories from Web and Graphic Design to
Programming to Business Consulting.
- Elance.com - Elance is the other big
player when it comes to freelance sites that cover a wide variety of
freelance work. Like Guru.com you can find projects from creative work like
graphics and writing to computer programming.
- Rentacoder.com - This freelance
site caters primarily to programmers, coders, software engineers and IT
professionals in general. You will find projects ranging from simple html
pages to programming jobs that could last for several months.
- Allfreelancework.com - In
addition to finding projects posted on a variety of subjects, you will also
find an extensive library of articles of interested to freelancers as well
services and products, a forum and a newsletter.
- Programmingbids.com - As
the name suggest this site focuses mostly on freelance work for programmers.
You will find projects from web and graphic design to flash to software
development. They even have a new section that will allow you to sell
scripts you have written.
Freelancing is a great way to get started working from home. You can easily
take on a few small projects while keeping your day job. You can start gaining
experience, add to your résumé and build a client base. This will make the
transition to working from home exclusively much smoother. It is also a great
way to test the water and see if you would like to work on projects from home in
the long run.
