Where To Find Your Jobs 

Find Your Best Match

There are many platforms where you can do your work. We have reviewed the 10 sites below and provided our
input. Remember we suggest you have two favorite job sites and then possibly a third that might be a specialty
site. There are job websites for very specific skills which we will cover in our later webinars. The sites below are all
good sources for you to discover.

1. Toptal - Toptal is mostly for freelancers that have a lot of work under their belt. There is a screening process that needs
to be completed and passed in order to gain access to great clients with substantive projects along with competitive
compensation. The community of Toptal freelancers holds unique technological events and community gatherings.

2. Upwork - This site boasts over 1.5 million clients, and there are jobs for every type of freelancer that you could imagine
that last short term and long term. Work can be done as hourly or per project, and anyone whose skill level is entry
level to expert can find something that fits their need. Because of the vast availability of work, it is likely that anyone
can find work through this platform. When work is completed, funds are safely transferred from client to freelancer.

3. Ifreelance - Here, you will find the usual types of workers in the freelance world like editors, coders, and writers, but
there are also freelance marketers. One unique thing about this platform is that freelancers are able to keep 100% of
their earnings, unlike most of the other platforms whose fees and rates vary.

4. Indeed - Indeed is the #1 job site in the world1 with over 200 million unique visitors2 every month. Indeed strives to
put job seekers first, giving them free access to search for jobs, post resumes, and research companies. Every day, we
connect millions of people to new opportunities.

5. 99Designs - This particular platform is a great way for designers to get their work seen and to build their portfolio.

Hundreds of thousands of clients and freelancers have had successful contracts. The client is in charge of outlining

everything about the project before any number of the millions of designers from all over the world choose to take part

in the content. Page 1! 6

Where To Find Your Jobs 


6. Craigslist - Not just a way to buy and sell old household items, this might be the hidden gem of finding freelance
jobs. Browsing is easy, as you can look for work locally if you would prefer an office setting, or you can choose
something out of your area if you would prefer to work remotely. Because anyone can post a listing, be mindful of
researching the client as much as you can. Craigslist has a plethora of local freelance work, so safely meeting with the
person face to face before the project starts is a good idea.

7. Freelance Writing Gigs -This platform is aimed at those who are good with words—editors, writers, publishers,
and bloggers alike. Each day it is updated with new jobs that range from writing about topics like photography,
healthcare, and even recipes, to technical writing jobs. The array of projects is a great source for writers to try their
hand at any type of writing.

8. Fiverr - This sort of works in the opposite way that traditional platforms do. Freelancers create their own jobs
based upon what they are good at, rather than companies posting jobs that freelancers can apply for. Freelancers are
able to market their services to companies, and are able to put their gigs into categories by using keywords that show
up in different searches. The names comes from the idea that the freelancers will start their prices at $5 per project.
This is not a requirement, just the starting point for their prices.

9. Guru - Show off your past work while being given access to new jobs every day. You will also be able to see how
much a company has spent using Guru's freelancer pool—helping to make a decision about whether or not the client
will be a good match to your work. Choose jobs by location, category, or job type (hourly or fixed).

10. Localsolo - It is free to use, and there are no commission fees. The profile is free and the work is free—but you still
get paid. Clients work directly with their talent regarding rates, payments, and contracts. Freelancers have total
control. The profiles created with LocalSolo are easier on the eyes than a lot of other platforms, so your personal
brand is more enticing.
