One of the greatest things that has come along for the self-employed in the past few years is the plethora of platforms available that connect freelancers with people looking to hire them.
On sites like Upwork, Freelancer and Fiverr, you can offer and find gigs in an amazing array of categories. Freelancer.com says that their freelancers have done work in a whopping 1,800 different categories.
On most of these sites (exceptions apply, see below), small business, corporations and individuals post work they need done. Independent contractors, “solopreneurs,” small businesses and freelancers browse the listings, see the gigs and budgets and then bid on the project. Whatever your specialty – be it making videos, blogging, research, being a virtual assistant, social media marketing, sales, bookkeeping or whatever – these sites offer you an opportunity to find consistent work.
