For some, this is a simple income, while for other citizens it is a stable, good income.

Who are freelancers

Some people still don’t even know who a freelancer is. Translated from English, “freelancer” is a free specialist who works for himself via the Internet.

He himself looks for the customer, and also decides what work to do and sets the work schedule. Freelancers can work with one or several customers at once.

There are, of course, stars who have and receive more than 100,000 rubles a month. Everything is real - the main thing is to work hard and go towards your dream.

You already understand who freelancers are. Let's look at what they can do.

3. Translation of material. It’s worth noting right away that this is a very popular type of activity and well paid. All you need to do is translate small articles and get paid. Just don’t hope that you can translate an article with basic knowledge using an online translator. Customers only need high-quality work.
4. . This unknown word is well known to those who study them. This is very good profession With high pay which requires special care and experience.
5. Administration. Today, among the vacancies you can find such a position as project administrator. But who is this? This is a person who leads groups or projects on social networks. You will need to always be online and control all actions: delete swear words, spam and other intrusive messages.
6. Programming, layout and website creation. It’s worth noting right away that this requires special knowledge. For some, this is a direction from the realm of science fiction. Thanks to this type of activity it is possible.

Why freelancing is becoming more and more popular

Why is everyone today more people choose remote freelancing, call it a trend and claim that it is the future? If you look closely, today retirees and office employees are becoming freelancers.

Probably, the whole demand lies in freedom of action and self-realization. Thanks to this direction, you no longer need to get up at 6 am, quickly run to work and ride on a crowded bus.

If at work you were always told what to do and how to do it, then there are only the wishes of the customers and complete freedom. What could be better? No bosses or envious employees, no fines for being late or not fulfilling the plan.

But we should not forget that remote work is, in turn, interesting work with which you can combine several directions at once and constantly develop. Working as a so-called “office plankton” you can hardly get good skills and do things that bring positive emotions.

Every person has hobbies. They can bring not only positive emotions, but also good money. There are a great many areas of freelancing.

Pros and cons of freelancing

As in any direction, this area has its own positive points and negative. Before you start working remotely, you should study them carefully. Let's start with the positives.

Pros of freelancing:

1. Free work schedule.

This is perhaps the most basic thing that people who choose this direction as their main job appreciate. You can decide for yourself how many days a week you will do work, which days you will take days off and when you will go on vacation.

The main thing is to complete the order within the established time frame. You can wake up and go to bed at a time convenient for you and not worry at all about getting up by the clock.

1. Work from home.

What could be better than doing work in cozy pajamas with a cup of aromatic tea? You no longer need to waste time traveling and communicating with unpleasant colleagues. Working from home, you are in a comfortable environment, close to your loved ones, and you decide who to communicate with.

1. It doesn't matter where you live.

If you look at the level wages, then in major cities it is much higher than in small towns. Moreover, the specialists are the same everywhere. This is the biggest disadvantage of regular work, since the salary depends on where geographically you are employed.

As for freelancing, it doesn’t matter where you live. You get paid solely based on your abilities.

This is the best thing about being a freelancer. It’s worth noting right away that the level of income here is unlimited. Your earnings will depend on the type of work you do. In some areas, payment depends on the quantity of work performed, while in others, on quality.

1. Quiet work.

Peace of mind is what many citizens value. No more nervous clients who will bother you and ask you various questions. The same goes for nervous bosses, who often swear and load you with useless work.

1. Possibility to combine work and travel.

Some may think that you can't work and travel at the same time. Everything is real if you work as a freelancer. All you need to work is a computer or laptop with Internet access and some free time.

As mentioned earlier, every job has its drawbacks. Let's look at what they are like in remote work.

Cons of freelancing:

1. There is no fixed salary.

Many citizens have been accustomed for years to doing the same type of work and receiving a fixed payment. As for remote work, it is difficult to find an employer who will agree to pay a fixed salary for the work performed.

1. Search for customers.

You shouldn’t hope that you will simply register on a freelance exchange and orders will pour in. You must look for customers yourself, submit applications and actively develop.

Hello friends and colleagues. On our agenda are freelance exchanges. We have already looked at it, but freelancers are far from just copywriters. Programmers, web and simple designers, photographers, artists - representatives of all these, and not only, professions can try their hand at ordering - freelancing.

What should novice freelancers do, where can they get customers, and ones that won’t deceive naive newcomers? Of course, you should turn your attention to popular freelance exchanges. Such sites, as a rule, provide protection mechanisms for both customers and performers.

Today I present to you a list of freelancing exchanges suitable for beginners. There are many exchanges, it’s easy to get confused in them. We will make our rating, consider their advantages and disadvantages. If you don’t understand at all what we’re talking about and what freelancing is -.

– one of my favorite exchanges of the new generation: it has been operating since 2015 and declares a fundamentally new approach to the relationship between the customer and the contractor (here they are called “buyer” and “seller”). There is a detailed article on the blog.

Getting started

We register (during the registration process you need to indicate whether you are a seller or a buyer, but when working on the site, the role can be changed) and fill out a profile, including information about yourself: specializations, experience, skills, etc.

After that, we create quoks:

Rules and features

What is a quark? This is a specific service (or set of services) that the seller is willing to perform for fixed price at 400 rub. (for the buyer the price is 500 rubles, i.e. the exchange takes a commission of 20%).

Kwork.ru positions itself as a store selling freelance services, and the purchase should be as fast and convenient as in a store, without tedious negotiations and misunderstandings, and this is exactly what the Kwork format serves:

When creating a quork, the seller describes his services in as much detail as possible, indicates what exactly is included in the qwork for 500 rubles, what services can be provided for an additional fee, what is the deadline for completing the work, etc. We can say that, unlike traditional exchanges, here the terms are dictated by the performer. To some extent, of course, but still...

After creating one or more quacks, the seller can only wait for orders from buyers. Of course, a beginner will have to try and make his work as attractive as possible - in terms of the number of services included in it, their quality, etc.

What services are most in demand on the site?

• Design
• Lyrics
• Marketing, including Internet marketing
• Video and audio

Settlements between the parties - only through the site service.

Conclusion

In my opinion, this is an extremely interesting and promising service, the undisputed leader among new freelance exchanges. Its advantages are undoubted:

• Convenience for both buyers and sellers. Unlike the traditional tender system, the seller can indicate exactly what services he provides for a fixed amount, and the buyer also sees this and can agree or disagree immediately, without long negotiations;
• The opportunity for the buyer to find a contractor for tasks of any complexity;
• Saving time, again thanks to clearly defined conditions;
• Security of transactions is guaranteed by the service;
• The interface is convenient and understandable for both parties

Score – 10.

– one of my favorite exchanges for remote work, I have already talked about it more than once and). Let's look again at what's good about it.

Getting started

To become a performer, you need:

1. Register on the exchange.
2. Pass testing in two stages: 1.exchange rules and 2.test for basic literacy and knowledge of the basics of searching for information on the Internet. Apparently, in this way the exchange cuts off completely inadequate applicants.
3. Pay 390 rub. – subscription price for three months.
4. Choose the specializations in which you are going to work.
5. Monitor orders.

There are several specializations on the exchange:

You can choose one specialization, or several, and you will be shown tasks only in the selected areas.

As we can see from the task catalog, this exchange is suitable

• for copywriters;
• for programmers and webmasters;
• for designers and photographers;
• for those who provide various remote services such as making calls, working with audio-video, filling out tables, and so on.

The customer creates a task, indicating its completion time and cost. This amount is blocked on his account until the order is completed by the contractor and this fact is confirmed by the customer.

You see a list of orders, and if the conditions of the task suit you, you submit an application for its completion.

The customer sees applications from performers and can choose the one who suits him. If you are selected, you negotiate the terms of the task, if necessary, and complete it. After this, the order amount minus 10% going to the exchange is transferred to your account.

Rules and features

• At work-zilla.com there is a system for rating the performer, depending on the amount of completed tasks and customer ratings. The higher the rating and better reviews, the more tasks you receive and the more willingly customers approve you for the role of performer.
• You can also leave feedback to the customer - recommend him to future performers or warn them against working with him.
• The exchange prohibits settlements between parties without going through the exchange service.
• In addition to the list of tasks, vacancies are regularly published on the site.

Tasks cost very differently, because prices are set by customers. You may encounter a task like “make a turnkey website” for 2000 rubles, or “write a selling text for a landing page” for 100 rubles. You decide for yourself whether to take on such orders: perhaps at first it makes sense to carry them out - to increase your rating, but the higher the rating, the more “tasty” orders you will get.

Conclusion

The exchange provides excellent opportunities for beginning freelancers: here you can both improve your professional skills and earn good money, of course, if you are not lazy, but work hard. A transparent payment system guarantees receipt of payment for the order if it is completed in accordance with the requirements and on time; The customer is also protected from unscrupulous performers.

In addition, the interface of interaction between the customer and the contractor is quite simple, even for a beginner it is very easy to figure out what and how to do on the exchange. Try it, I think you will like this freelance exchange.

Rating on a 10-point scale – 10.

fl.ru

Speaking about the largest freelance exchanges, it is impossible to ignore fl.ru. This freelance exchange has been operating since 2005 (previously called free-lance.ru). More than a million freelancers are registered on it, and about 40 thousand tasks are completed per month.

Getting started

After registration, a new performer needs to fill out his profile. It must indicate:

• Specialization – on a free account you can choose only one;
• Your data;
• Portfolio and resume, where the performer can present examples of his work and talk about himself;
• Optionally, add a “Standard Service”:

After filling out your profile in the “Work” menu, you can view your order feed in search of a suitable task.

Rules and features

Payment between the customer and the contractor is possible both through the “Safe Transaction” - an analogue of the payment system on work-zilla.ru, when the order amount is reserved in the customer’s account and transferred to the contractor after the task is submitted, or directly: the parties agree on the method of payment, prepayment, etc. .d.

• profile completeness;
• customer reviews;
• account type;
• completed work;
• visits to the site

The main feature of fl.ru on at the moment is that, despite the theoretical possibility of working from a free account, in fact, to receive tasks you need to switch to a paid account, the so-called. "PRO". The vast majority of orders are marked “Only for Pro”. Here are the rates:

Nothing wrong, right? Especially compared to the cost of a subscription to Workzilla.

Conclusion

This freelance exchange is one of the most popular and popular. There are many different services here - freelance competitions, advertising, services, and 60% of all RuNet orders are here. You can find your niche. Among the disadvantages is the serious cost of starting work, which may not be able to be repaid, given high competition and the presence of many distinguished old-timers.
Score – 6

- the oldest freelance exchange on the Runet, founded in 2003.

Getting started

Just like on fl.ru, after registration you need to fill out a profile:

Fill out all the required fields, including posting your portfolio and list of services. After that, you see tasks in the “Work” menu.

Rules and features

All types of earnings on Weblancer can be divided into three categories:

1. Projects – one-time tasks
2. Competitions are tasks for which the performer provides his/her similar works, does some preliminary work, etc.
3. Vacancies – offers of permanent work.

All these types of work are visible in the general order feed (you can configure it to see only selected types of work).

Weblancer.net uses the concept of “Tariff Plan”. Its essence is that you select the categories you will work with and pay for the opportunity to work with tasks from these categories. With a free account, you can only admire the tasks. To be able to submit requests for tasks, you need to pay tariff plan. Let's see what tariffs are possible:

We select the “Web programming and Sites” section, indicate all categories, and our monthly tariff plan is 10 USD, or dollars. The “Texts and Translations” section will cost 8 USD, “Web Design and Interfaces” – 10 USD.

However, do not forget that upon registration, free access to 30 applications is provided. Perhaps this will be enough to make good money and gain a rating.

• Another feature of Weblancer is that the contractor is charged 5% of the order value for each positive review. A non-trivial approach, to say the least.
• Payments between the parties are carried out in the same way as on fl.ru: either through secure transactions or by direct agreement.
• It is not forbidden to exchange contact information.
• There is a forum where you can exchange opinions with colleagues and ask something.

Conclusion

This freelance exchange is not very friendly for beginners, rather it is suitable for professionals with an established portfolio who know what they want and what they can do. For them, tariffs are not scary and easily pay for themselves. Also, for beginners, having to pay for reviews is not very pleasant. But the opportunity to receive 30 applications for free is a definite plus of this exchange; you can try your hand at it.

Conclusion

Of course, a beginner here will have to work hard to reach heights. However, the opportunity to work and earn money without purchasing paid accounts, as well as the general favorable atmosphere, encourages you to make an attempt and try to get promoted here.

• A lot of work for designers, programmers, webmasters, marketers, copywriters

Score – 8

Until now, we have considered the largest freelance exchanges, which have been successfully providing services to customers and freelancers for a long time, and have both loyal fans and opponents. Their operating principles are similar: the customer publishes an order, the performers fight for it. This is a tender system, and the differences are only in the details.

But life does not stand still: let's look at new freelance exchanges that work differently.

- an exchange similar in operating principles, has existed since 2013. It also positions itself specifically as a digital services store.

Getting started

As standard, we register, fill out the profile and proceed to creating works (analogous to kworks from kwork.ru).

Rules and features

As on kwork.ru, the contractor determines the number of services included in the work, the execution time, services for an additional fee, but unlike kwork.ru, he himself sets the cost of his work:

Of interest to beginners is the “Ready to do work for a review” option, as well as the ability to set any price for a work.

Please note: the exchange commission is 20% and is charged to the performer. Calculations are made through the website service.

This is a rather unusual freelance exchange, starting with the name: moguza - means “I can for.” I can do something for so many rubles - that’s how all the work begins.

In addition to standard services such as:

• Website creation
• Marketing and Social Media
• Lyrics
• Advertising

etc., here you can find many unusual and even strange works:

In general, there’s something for every taste: they’ll tell fortunes, talk, and wish you a Happy New Year. Moguza expands our understanding of freelancing, doesn't it?

Conclusion

Not a bad freelance exchange, a beginner can feel quite comfortable here. You can sell any services (within reason, and within the limits of the law, of course), for which you have enough imagination, and for any product there will be a buyer. Try it, at least it's interesting here.

Score – 8

– an exchange that differs from those previously discussed in the specifics of its customers: these are students. The service has been operating since 2012.

Getting started

We register, read the warning that the exchange of contact information between the contractor and the customer is prohibited, watch a presentation about working on the site (a useful feature, by the way), take a short test on the rules of the service and fill out a profile. Quite a serious approach to a potential performer.

Rules and features

author24.ru uses the auction principle of submitting applications for orders: select the task you are interested in:

and set a price:

The system commission, as we see, 20%, is charged to the customer. All payments, as well as messaging, are done only through the website.

• After completing the task and submitting it to the customer, a guarantee period begins: within 20 days, the customer can ask to make some improvements (students must hand in the work). Only after the expiration of this period and confirmation by the customer that the work has been completed, the money is credited to the contractor’s account.
• It is possible to sell finished works.
• The contractor's rating influences the customer's choice, so it is very important. It is calculated using a complex formula that takes into account the number of orders completed, estimates for completion, completion time and other factors.

What activities are popular here? Everything that students study:

• Technical
• Economic
• Natural
• Humanitarian

The work that is proposed to be performed can also be found in the program of any university:

• Theses
• Coursework
• Laboratory work
• Practice reports
• Problem solving
• Drawings
• Reports

and much more.

Conclusion

If you are not confused by the very idea of ​​​​such a service - execution educational works instead of students, then it is quite possible to try your hand at this exchange, especially if you are well versed in any university discipline. A newbie can offer his services at dumping prices and quickly gain a good rating.

Until now, we have considered only domestic services. Why not enter foreign freelance exchanges? In other countries, freelancing has a longer history than in Russia, there are more customers, and prices are higher.

I’ll note right away that foreign exchanges are more suitable for programmers and other IT specialists, photographers, and possibly translators.

Let's take a look at international sites.

– the largest foreign exchange, created in 2009 through the merger of several large freelance platforms. More than 20 million (!) users are registered on the site, it is possible to choose a Russian-language interface:

Getting started

Everything is generally as usual:

• we register, choosing what we want: to hire or work;
• We select from the table the skills and experience - specializations in which we will work. You can choose 20 skills for your free account.
• Having gone through all the stages and verified your email address By filling out your profile (you can attach a portfolio), we can start working.

Rules and features

Conclusion

A beginner will have a hard time using such a huge resource:

1. You need to know English;
2. You need to study all the local “tricks”, of which there are many;
3. You will have to face tough competition and work for a long time “for food”, i.e. reputation.

But still the game is worth the candle. The prices here are higher than on Russian resources, and there are more customers. If you have already achieved something at the local level and want to go international, this resource is for you.

Score – 8

In 2015, the two largest international freelance exchanges, odesk.com and elance.com, merged and became a mega exchange. The service positions itself as a workspace for cooperation between customers and performers, unlike other exchanges that are “bulletin boards”. More than 12 million freelancers and more than 5 million customers are registered on the exchange.

Getting started

It’s worth immediately considering that everything here is in English.

Register (choose who we are – a freelancer or a customer). We confirm the e-mail, fill out the profile: select the type of work, categories, attach a portfolio.

On this exchange, they take filling out their profile seriously: you need to provide a lot of information about yourself - education, years of study, photo, address, phone number... If something is not filled out, the system will not let you go further. If the system cannot recognize a face in a photo, it will not let you through either.

• In addition, you need to indicate how much you estimate an hour of your work to be - this can be useful for projects that require hourly wages.
• It is advisable to take tests in your specializations to increase client confidence. Tests are free.
• The completed profile is sent for moderation - it may not be approved.

Rules and features

Based on information from your profile, the service creates a job offer feed for you.

You can also search for work yourself by enabling and disabling job categories:

You can spend a lot of time searching suitable job, so it’s worth taking the time to fill out your profile correctly, indicating all your skills, so that the orders that actually suit you are displayed in the offer feed.

There are two types of jobs on upwork.com:

1. With a fixed fee. The contractor is selected on a tender basis.
2. WITH hourly rate– work is carried out through a special application that tracks working time.

Upwork takes a commission of 10% from the order - usually deducted from the customer. Settlements between the parties are carried out through the website service.

Conclusion

As in the case of freelancer.com, a beginner here will have to struggle to understand the nuances. The competition on upwork is also very significant, you need to start with small projects with modest pay - according to user reviews, Indians and Pakistanis are greedy for such projects, but their qualifications are usually low, so applicants from other countries attract attention (especially relevant for IT).

Like freelancer.com, upwork is suitable for those who have already achieved something locally.

Score – 8

So, we have looked at the list of freelance exchanges. Based on my work experience and careful consideration of the exchange’s features, I recommend the two best freelance exchanges for beginning freelancers:

• – as a reliable and proven resource, and
• – as a new interesting concept of remote work.

Of course, my choice is subjective, you may not agree with me. By the way, we seemed to want to consider 11 freelance exchanges? And now there are 10 of them. Tell us in the comments about your favorite exchange for remote work, which one else should be included in this list and why?

Let's digress a little, remember this character in 2000? I really liked this speech of his - I remember recording it on videotape when there was no YouTube yet:

Do you feel like you’re ready to quit your job, take control of your day, fight for your clients, and work only on interesting tasks? It's time to try your hand at freelancing. This is not easy at all, and more often than not it is more difficult than the office routine. In order not to be disappointed in the choice of work format, give yourself a test drive - on holidays or on weekends. We have collected sites where you will find tasks to your liking.
