By on August 6, 2019 0

When you’re starting as a freelancer, you are always confused about what freelance sites you should be using to offer your services to clients and employers worldwide. Confusion occurs when you start on the most popular freelance sites like Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer, these sites have very strict levels of work and approvals. They also have a lot of competition with long-term freelancers having established profiles. Clients usually trust these freelancers for work and newer ones suffer.

We’ve compiled a list of some non-popular yet trendy freelance sites that have low competition and competitive rates and are great for new freelancers:
