My Favorite Freelance Jobs Website - Freelancer.com

Freelancers are always on the lookout to find well paying freelance jobs. Without proper reviews and feedback, it is difficult to find a project that meets your demands. However, I am very much satisfied with Freelancer.com. This is a great website where you can find a number of projects in various categories. Formally called as GetAFreelancer.com , the new website is completely revamped with interesting new looks.

If you are a newbie freelance writer, you should be ready to write for lower rates for a couple of months to gain reputation in the freelance website. Once you get a few feedbacks and reviews, you are welcome to set your own states. Many users complain that you will find many low paying projects at this website. I have to accept that it is true, but you can take a look at featured projects, which are usually high paying projects.

As a service provider, you have to pay 10% of project value or $5 only for the projects you win. You are not charged anything to bid on a project and signing up with Freelancer.com is free. Once you upgrade to become a gold member, the project commissions drop to just 3%. Also, gold members get more exposures and if you are interested in taking up new projects, your bid will be brightened up with your gold membership. GAF allows buyers to provide full time projects for $99.95 and providers are not charged any commission. I think, this is a feature specific to GAF.

You can get payments from your GAF clients and you can also get payments from others with Transfer option that costs you 2.5%. Escrow feature is something that deserves a special mention at Freelancer.com and the website comes to rescue when you have disputes with buyers.

Further, GAF has affiliate program that helps you earn money when you help others. The earned money can be withdrawn using Payoneer card ordered through GAF, Paypal, Moneybookers and wire transfer. You need to know what methods are available for you, though Payoneer debit card is available for everyone.

As far as my experience is concerned, I got my first few projects only from GAF. I have got a couple of long term clients from GAF. These people send me assignments almost everyday to keep up my earnings. You should definitely try bidding on Freelancer.com as hundreds of projects are available for bidding everyday.
