Where to Find Freelancers?
In this day and age, despite the ubiquity of digital platforms, finding reliable freelancers can still be challenging.
The first idea that will pop in your mind is to go visit a number of web pages. You will hope that you will reach good talent there. These can be:
General Freelance Platforms
Premium or Curated Talent Networks
Design & Creative Platforms
Writing, Editing, and Translation
Remote & Specialized Job Boards
Local or Task-Based Work
Other Platforms
Why is it hard to find freelancers?
Or in other words: Why are there so many options?
A lot of these websites were created with one goal in mind:
To connect clients with freelancers. And to solve this problem once and for all.
Enter the compulsory XKCD comic:
A lot of these websites make it more difficult to find freelancer than not. Because while they create an ecosystem to make project owners meet the freelancers, they also make it more expensive. I am not blaming them. These platforms have to make money somehow as well.
If you go to one of the more high end websites to find your freelancer, you should embrace yourself to pay up flat fees up to 120$ per hour. At this point, I’d personally suggest hiring a professional consulting firm, as they might provide a more professional service at a lower price.
I cannot explain how much willpower it takes for me to avoid developing yet another platform that aims to solve this problem once and for all. But why would I bother in the first place? Because I am working as a freelancer as well, and I know how hard it is to find clients, develop a network and land projects.
This is the reason why I have written this blog post. If you have found this blog post online, this testifies for my SEO skills!
