Freelancing Website: Scam or Real?

 Are all freelancing websites Scams? Should you try them?

The answer to the first question is complicated, while the answer to the second question is a definitive no.

Here are five reasons why freelancing websites are not always scams:

1. Freelancing websites provide you with an opportunity to work and make some money that any other place won’t give you. It’s true that not all of them provide satisfying jobs, but it’s still an option for people who can’t find work elsewhere.

2. Freelancing websites create a marketplace for employers and workers alike, which benefits both parties by reducing dependence on classified job boards or finding jobs from networking with friends.

3. Freelancing websites are a source of new content. Have you ever wondered where that guest blog post or infographic on your blog came from? They’re most likely from freelance websites. The quality of content for blogs and businesses has improved since companies started outsourcing this work to freelancing websites because there are now more options for writers, artists, and other creators.

4. Freelancing websites do charge fees to list projects and accept bids, which can be expensive depending on the website. However, they still provide better odds than just randomly searching for freelance jobs on Google or through classified ads.

5. Freelancing websites attempt to provide some services to the public. Some of these are built into the website, while others could easily be added if the platform were popular enough. For example, website owners can set up their own forums that allow people to post queries and receive responses.

So what’s the answer to the first question? There is no simple answer as freelancing websites generally serve different purposes, so they all vary in terms of payment structure and opportunities for success on a given site.

 

How to check whether a freelancing website is a scam or not?

There are many ways to check whether a freelancing website is a scam or not. Some tips are as follows:

1. Check the website’s credibility: Look at how much experience it has and how long it has been in operation. If it is new, ask for some references from its customers.

2. Look for some reviews about the website online and check those reviews if you can; Ask what other people think about the website in terms of payment and the way they worked on their projects. You can also check their ratings on platforms like Trustpilot, Facebook, and linkedin to know whether they have an outstanding reputation online or not.

3. Look at their support page to know whether they have any support or not. If they have, check how responsive the support people are and what type of solutions they supply to their customers.

4. Check the payment options they offer and compare them with other sites that collect money through various methods; Are they promising a lot more than what they can provide? Do you feel comfortable dealing with them?

5. Check their customer service policies and the way they try to convince you to sign up for another service or make changes to your existing freelancing website. Ask for proof that they can do what they promise and ask for information about the services from which they have migrated because migrating from a legal one to a non-legal one is illegal in some countries.

6. Check their freelance rates and how those rates are calculated. Are the rates too high compared to other similar services? It’s more difficult to find reliable costs of different platforms on affiliate websites, but you should check what other people say about those prices in customer reviews online.

7. Get references from people who used those services in the past or ask them to give you a list of their previous customers; For example, if you are going to get a quote from an industrial plumber, try getting quotes from other customers before you hire them. Make sure that the prices they offer are competitive and reasonable.
