Just for you, we have put together 10 of the best freelance sites to find clients in 2020:
Fiverr
Fiverr is one of the original and one of the best freelance marketplaces on the net. Originally designed as a very low cost gig and freelance service for jobs of exactly $5, it has grown and evolved to become a serious marketplace. As Fiverr released restrictions on their maximum $5 gig charge more providers took to the market, and as such it’s considered a serious place to find providers.

Upwork
Upwork is also a marketplace that has been around for number of years, well over 15 years now. The service was more commonly known as Elance (which stood for ‘electronic freelance’). Elance not only has individual gig and freelance providers but also small companies. The contract structure is a little more formal with timesheets, project timelines etc… but that’s not to say individual freelancers can’t create freelance service listings.
