Russian-language freelance exchanges. The best freelance and remote work exchanges: for pros and beginners

Hello, dear visitors of our magazine SlonoDrom.ru! In today's article, we will talk about freelancing and how to make money on it!

Recently, more and more people do not want to depend on office work. The desire is quite understandable, because not everyone can work in a simple service for years, since quite often there are conflicts and misunderstandings between colleagues and management, someone is not satisfied with a frankly low salary, while others value their freedom.

For ordinary people, freelancing becomes a serious and responsible step, which allows you to find completely different ways to earn money. In this article, I will talk in detail about what freelance vacancies and freelance exchanges are and how to start making money on them using the Internet.

❗️How much do freelancing earn?
Freelancing can bring quite substantial money -from 5,000 rubles to 100,000 rublesper month and above (it all depends on experience and skills)!

Even if you are still a beginner, you can start earning by completing simple tasks and gradually develop skills for which you will be paid many times more!

So, let's figure out what freelancing is, how it works and what you need to start making money on it!

Yes, we also recommend to all those who are interested in remote work on the Internet. Outside, it is also described in detail about how and what kind of work can be found online without attachments.

In this same article, I will also share my experience as a freelancer. So sit back and we'll get started! 😀

1. Freelancing - what is it and who is a freelancer? Freelancing pros and cons

In recent years, due to economic instability in the Russian economy, the freelance market has grown by an average of 30% and its share is growing every year. So what is freelancing?

☝️ Freelancing in simple words:
Freelance (from English it can be translated as “free work / work”) is a remote work related to the provision of certain services to various customers via the Internet (for example, writing texts, creating websites, designing ...).

freelancer accordingly, this is a person who works remotely and does not depend on bosses, since in fact he does not have them. That is, a freelancer has the right to choose with whom he wants and will work, and with whom he does not.

According to statistics, people who work remotely earn 50-100% more their office colleagues. At the same time, they spend less time on work and work in more comfortable conditions from a psychological point of view.

Freelancing is a great alternative to regular work for many people, especially for those who live in small towns, i.e. where there are problems with finding work and salaries are very low.

When working remotely, you can work with customers from large cities (and not only in Russia), where wages for labor are much higher than average!

You can work and find orders in 2 ways:

• on special resources or freelance exchanges in the Internet.
• through direct cooperation with customers.

We will also discuss them in detail in this article.

At first, your earnings will not be large at all, but gradually, with an increase in your experience and knowledge, you can count on quite expensive orders.

Freelancing differs from regular work in that you will not need to get up early every morning to get ready for work in the office. In large cities, offline work is a long road that can take more than one hour, eternal stress, low salaries and high workload.

A freelancer is also not tied to a place of work and, if desired, you can place orders literally from anywhere in the world. And many experienced freelancers do just that - they work from warm countries, in particular, such as Thailand, Cyprus ...

And here are the main pros and cons of freelancing:

PROS AND CONS OF FREELANCE
👍 Pros:
➕ Can manage your own time , as you want, because you do not need to sit at work "from call to call." Many people simply dream of such a free work schedule.
➕ Your income is virtually unlimited , because in this type of earnings you can earn really serious money (much higher than the average salary in the country) and spend less time on work, especially if you have talent and you are easily trained.
➕ Even if you do not have any skills and abilities, then basic knowledge can be learned in a few weeks or months directly on the Internet. And besides, at first you can earn a little money on simple tasks.
👎 Minuses:
➖ In freelancing you need take full responsibility . In a regular job, you know for sure that once or twice a month you will receive your salary. In freelancing, however, income can be unstable - especially if you are just starting your journey! Here you are your own boss and worker.
➖ Have to look for orders every day and not always the job search will be successful, because you expect a lot of competition. There is only one conclusion: improve your knowledge, develop your rating, strive to work directly and on a long-term basis with customers, or agree to low pay.
➖ In addition, novice freelancers often face banal laziness . Since there is no leadership, accordingly, there is a desire to postpone everything until later. Any freelancers work according to the principle “The legs feed the wolf”, otherwise nothing.

However, despite all the disadvantages, freelancing definitely gives you much more freedom and allows you to earn much more with less time.

2. How to make money on freelancing without investment: where to start for a beginner and what is required?

So, you already want to start freelancing for yourself? But how to do it if you are a beginner? First of all, you need to decide on the type of your activity.

For example, if you know English well, then you can work as a translator, those who like to write texts can try their hand at copywriting, and knowledge of Photoshop will allow you to start doing web design, etc. The main thing is to choose the direction that do you like !

You can find remote work online as a designer, translator, accountant, journalist, cameraman, copywriter, programmer, typist... By the way, read a separate article (there are a lot of pitfalls in it)!

Website #1: Work-zilla.com

has been one of the popular and trusted freelancing exchanges since 2009. Especially this site is suitable for novice freelancers, as there are quite a lot of orders that do not require specialized knowledge and skills.

This includes simple tasks such as audio to text translation, filling the online store, posting ads…

However, in order to get started, you will need to pass a simple test (there are answers on the Internet) and pay for a subscription, which, if it is quite possible to pay back in 1-3 days!

You can withdraw money to the following payment systems: Yandex Money and WebMoney.

Site number 2: Avito.ru

I want to tell you not quite about the freelance exchange, but about an excellent platform where you can find a huge number of direct customers without any intermediaries. As you already understood, this is the well-known Avito resource!

On it, you can post free ads and find many jobs in a wide variety of freelance areas.

⭐️ By the way, when I worked as a freelancer, I was looking for orders mainly on Avito - for me it was perhaps the best platform!

However, Avito is more suitable for those who have already developed certain skills, for example, learned how to create websites:

Its advantages are that there is no such price dumping as on large freelance exchanges and you do not need to buy and pay for any tariffs, subscriptions ...

Learn to be different!
The most important thing (not only on Avito, but on all exchanges) is the ability to differfrom competitors.

For example, you can read more about how to respond to orders correctly so that they are entrusted to you in the article www.kadrof.ru/articles/3799.

Website №3: Etxt.ru

Although the competition here is quite high, despite this, even beginners will be able to find suitable orders.

Site №4: Free-Lance.ru

Website free-lance.ru is one of the main resources for finding remote work in the Russian-speaking segment. On this site you can find remote work of absolutely any specialization.

The only negative is the PRO-account, the price of which is clearly overpriced per month. Without it, newcomers to the site will not be able to submit their applications.

For the convenience of users, there is such an option as a safe transaction, which guarantees the safety of both the customer and the contractor.

Website #5: Weblancer.net

Popular site weblancer.net is one of the most sought-after and competitive in the modern freelance market.

The exchange itself appeared in the early 2000s and during all this time it has shown itself to be a stable source of income for freelancers.

By the way, to start working on this site, there is no need to buy a PRO account.

The site has a rather interesting voting system for performers. This allows you to identify potential negligent customers who do not pay authors. There are options for conducting secure transactions.

What can you do on this freelance exchange?

• Writing term papers and theses, abstracts;
• Creation of sites, game applications, work with databases, system programming, WEB-programming;

And on the site you can always find work to promote services and goods in social networks, offer your services for SEO-audit of the site, advertising in teaser networks, marketing research. Payments to performers are made through the payment systems QIWI and WebMoney.

Site #7: Upwork.com

Most recently, the foreign exchange Odesk was renamed to Upwork. We will continue our speech about this resource.

☝️ Upwork is foreign resource , and it is more suitable for advanced freelancers than beginners. Accordingly, payments to employees on it higher than on Russian sites.

For ease of use, mobile exchange applications for iOS and Android have been created, and the application for recording working hours has been completely redesigned. Now the exchange employs more than 9 million freelancers and four and a half million customers.

The exchange is ideal for those who know English well. You can offer your services as a translator, text writer, programmer, web designer, graphic designer, web programmer.

By the way, Russian-speaking employers can be found on the exchange, but this is more an exception than a rule, since it is easier for large customers to save on a project by simply contacting cheaper Russian freelance exchanges.

On the site, you can create your freelancer profile for free, supplement it with a high-quality resume and portfolio. Additionally, you can pass tests on knowledge of the English language and the specifics of your profession.

☝️ Exchange feature:
Payment on this freelance exchange is different from payment on Russian-language exchanges. Most often, freelancers receive cash rewards per hour of work .

Site #8: Free-lancers.net

One of the oldest freelance exchanges that appeared in 2006 is the resource free-lancers.net. On this site, performers can find jobs in such areas as web design, rewriting, seo copywriting, website optimization, translations, graphic design.

The site administration is trying to facilitate the work of not only customers, but performers. A freelancer can advertise his profile on the main page of the site, thereby attracting potential customers. All the pleasure is relatively inexpensive - only 10 rubles per day.

The exchange has a section of black lists where you can add unscrupulous customers or performers. There is also a service for a secure transaction with a commission in 1% in favor of the stock exchange.

This site does not feel bad for experienced freelancers as it does for beginners. There no strong damping , so the chance to get an expensive project is higher than on similar exchanges.

Website #9: Freelancejob.ru

Another oldest freelance exchange for remote workers in Runet is freelance job. The site appeared in 2005. The only negative that spoils the work on it is the strong dumping of performers who reduce the prices for their services, so it is sometimes difficult for professionals to find suitable orders for themselves.

But for beginners, this resource is ideal, only the main thing is to choose the right customer, as there is a chance to stumble upon scammers.

✅ Listing on the exchange free for both clients and performers. On the FreelanceJob exchange, you can easily find a variety of orders for designers, copywriters, web designers, copywriters, programmers, translators.

Freelancers can purchase a PRO account for themselves, which allows them to take more expensive and priority orders. And you can also look for customers on the forums and blogs of the exchange, where the performers communicate.

4. Freelance: vacancies / professions for remote work at home - TOP 10 most popular

Next, we will talk about 10 most popular and demanded vacancies . These are certain types of work that do not require any investment other than your knowledge. By the way, you can always learn the basics of a new profession without leaving your home.

⭐️ About freelancing:
I want to immediately warn future freelancers that this is the same job as in the office. You can't have money without doing anything for it.

Many ordinary people imagine freelance work as a kind of paradise, in which a person hugging a laptop sits on the shores of a warm ocean. But in reality, this is not always the case, sometimes you have to work a lot of exhausting hours, especially at first, when you do not have direct customers and a good portfolio.

Beginners can be advised free courses from the site Kadrof.ru, on which, by the way, you can find orders, though at inexpensive prices - www.kadrof.ru/articles/1899. The training program is phased, simple and affordable, there are even video lessons.

Job #1: Copywriter

One of the easiest and most common freelancing jobs is copywriting.

copywriter is a specialist who creates commercial and informational texts. Most often, copywriters are generalist writers who can write articles on a variety of topics.

When creating an article, a copywriter uses many sources of information, he can use resources that allow him to evaluate the semantics of the text and its uniqueness.

• Copywriting. You are required to create unique texts without rewriting;
• Rewriting. This is a revision of the original text, which should be deep and retain the meaning of the article. Formally, you give out new material, but based on the source;
• SEO copywriting. Such an abbreviation is the creation of content using specially selected keywords that can bring the site to the TOP search results.

Rewriting is usually the easiest for beginners, since in this case, in fact, you only need to rephrase the original text.

❓Where can a copywriter work:
First of all, there are a lot of specialized exchanges (we have already reviewed some of them) where authors are invited to do the work of writing texts. Just as often, copywriters work directly with the owners of information sites and write articles for them on given topics.

A copywriter should usually have the following key skills: the ability to quickly find information on the Internet, to type quickly, to be highly literate, to have a good portfolio, to know the skills of SEO-optimization of texts.

But if you do not have all this, this does not mean that you cannot become a copywriter. On the contrary, if you have a desire to become one, then you can learn all this!😀

It is worth noting that a copywriter is not a typesetter. , This is a specialist of a much broader level.

Read more about it in a separate article on our website!

Job #2: Social media group administrator

Another very common and fairly simple profession on the Internet is the administrator of communities in social networks.

Many owners of groups and communities in social networks (especially on Vkontakte, Facebook ...) need administrators who would monitor the filling and updating of their communities, maintaining activity among visitors ...

Thus, the main task of such an administrator is the publication of interesting thematic materials, as well as the placement of advertising posts.

One community is not paid much for maintaining - approximately from 2,000 to 10,000 rubles/month . However, administrators often lead more than one community, but immediately 2-5 and end up with a good income.

Administrator vacancies can mainly be found on social networks themselves - usually they are fixed directly on the "wall" of the community (they can be found through a search on the social network).

Job #3: Content Manager

Remote work as a content manager is a rather difficult activity, but it allows you to make decent money on freelancing. Usually people who have already tried themselves in the field of copywriting or journalism go to content managers.

Content Manager Responsible for filling sites (magazines, newspapers) with useful and interesting materials.

He should mainly be able to: post materials, design and correct texts (tables, figures) and coordinate the work of a rewriter or copywriter, moderator and other specialists. In fact, he is fully responsible for the text content of the Internet resource.

Such a profession is not too difficult, as it might seem at first glance. It is quite possible to learn all this on the Internet yourself. 🙂

Payment for such work is most often negotiable, and it usually varies. from 3,000 to 15,000 rubles per month for one project. Content masters rarely take one project, they work with two or more sites. You can find work on freelance exchanges, on ad sites, or try to offer your services to the site owner directly.

Job #4: Web Designer

web designer- a person who has a certain artistic taste. It can create web pages and combine them into web sites. Simply put, a web designer creates the design and style of websites.

The profession of a web designer appeared back in the distant nineties of the last century, and with the development of modern information technologies, it has become increasingly popular among freelancers.

Such a specialist should be able to develop a stylistic design of the project, taking into account the specifics of the worldwide network. Design does not always have to be just creative and stylish, but sometimes it must perform a certain function (for example, selling or informational).

Such a freelancer can place a variety of graphics on the site and understands what site navigation is, determines where banners and logos should be placed.

To do this kind of work, a web designer needs to know the HTML language and have a special artistic flair. And there is no escape from the basics of programming. A web designer can work on freelance exchanges, in web studios, and, of course, for himself (for example, look for customers on Avito).

Job #5: Internet Marketer

With the development of Internet advertising, there is an almost universal need for specialists who would set up advertising for certain products and services.

From my own experience, I can say that learning this profession is not so difficult (for example, I learned it for free on the Internet).

Since the main clients are the owners of online stores, it is best to look for orders on Avito and freelance exchanges.

☝️ You can make money as a freelance marketer from 30 thousand rubles per month .

Job #6: Translator

If you know languages, you can always work remotely as a translator. A translator is a specialist who translates a variety of information from one language into another language.

💡Information can be different: speech, text file, audio/video recording. Translation can be consecutive, technical, written and simultaneous.

By the way, such a specialist can also design and create calendars, product packaging design, develop layouts for magazines and books.

On freelance exchanges, you can find quite a lot of orders related to design development, so such specialists usually do not remain without work.

As for payment, usually a standard project costs 4000-10 000 rubles and more.

Job #8: SMM Specialist

The profession of an SMM specialist is gaining more and more popularity. It is great for young and ambitious freelancers.

The blogger has the opportunity to earn money on contextual advertising, product advertising by firms or active links.

⭐️ The work is interesting, but also responsible. You have to offer people something really useful and valuable, and monetizing your site or YouTube channel is not a problem.

Vacancy No. 10: Website layout designer

The main qualities that a website designer should have are knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, accuracy, attention to detail, perseverance. The average payment for a completed project is usually Many people are skeptical about freelancing. They are sure that there are a lot of scammers in this area. This opinion is not without truth, there are indeed scammers on the Internet, but this does not mean that it is impossible to make money on the Internet.

❗️Important:
As for the most popular freelance exchanges , which offer paid tariff plans to get more orders, then you should not expect deception here.

However, you still need to be wary of less popular exchanges. If the exchange appeared quite recently and there are no reviews on the Internet about it yet, then it is better not to buy any tariffs and options, but at least work on it with a basic account first.

In addition, there are a lot of exchanges where you can work completely without investments.

Most importantly, don't get caught. on financial pyramids and scammersV who promise you "mountains" of money, but before that they ask you deposit money into their account under any pretext.

For example, on the Internet you can find a lot of vacancies for typing at home, but most of them are published by scammers. In them, they promise a very high salary, but when it comes to work, they demand that money be transferred to them under the pretext of an “insurance premium”.

In addition, scammers often use email(for correspondence) and e electronic payment systems: Qiwi wallets, Yandex money ... (bank cards are used very rarely).

And finally, before you transfer money anywhere and / or start working somewhere - read reviews about this site / organization on the Internet!😀

Hello friends and new freelancers!

Vasily Blinov is in touch with you, and today I would like to analyze a very important topic for beginners regarding the search for the first orders on freelance exchanges.

From my own experience I know how difficult it is to find and take the first tasks, especially when you have no skills and you have no idea how to complete all the orders offered on the exchanges.

I remember, starting freelancing at the end of 2014, it happened that I spent days looking for tasks, responding to them, but did not receive a single confirmation of being a performer. Can you imagine my state after that and the desire to score on everything?

Now I understand perfectly why 99% of people end up merging after making several attempts.

It is very difficult to start and it takes time to gain experience, learn, become a professional and earn a lot of money freelancing.

For these sufferings, you will be rewarded with work that brings you not only money, but also pleasure. Get the freedom to be office-free, allowing you to travel the world and be free.

Traveling freelancers meeting in Bali

I often meet freelancers and remote employees on my travels, I can say with confidence that they have a much more interesting, rich and happy life.

Therefore, I hope that my today's story will help at least 1% of people not to stray from the freelance path they have begun and master the work with exchanges.

What you need to know about freelancing exchanges?

What is it and what are they for? It is clear that such labor exchanges play the role of connecting the customer and the contractor, but beginners do not see the main thing.

Firstly. The freelance exchange is a training ground where you can learn right away and receive a small reward in the form of experience, reviews and money for this.

If you want to become a professional, but you currently do not have any knowledge and experience, then you should not put money in the first place, as most beginners do. Work for food, that is, for experience, feedback from satisfied customers and the first completed projects in the portfolio.

The exchanges pay very little, especially for beginners, but almost every successful freelancer has gone through this school.

Secondly. The freelance exchange is not only a warehouse of one-time orders, but also your future base of regular employers. The essence of success is to create your base of regular customers who will contact you again and again.

Many beginners see only one-time tasks with a small cost, and behind them, in fact, there can be very money-making customers who still have a lot of work for you, you just have to prove yourself.

Third. Freelance exchanges are not the only way to find remote work and vacancies. Do not think that you will work for them all your life. There are many other more effective methods, which I will talk about later in this section.

As I said, go through the exchange survival school for a year or two and you yourself will understand how easy it is to find customers on the Internet and make money freelancing.

Do not pay attention to different ratings of exchanges, the main indicator of a successful freelancer is terribly satisfied customers and completed orders by 5 plus. Then there will be a demand for your services, and customers themselves will line up for you.

Look at the queues at Apple because they make really cool devices and thousands of their customers are very satisfied.

Become the Apple of your freelancing service niche.

List of freelance exchanges for beginners

• Work Zilla- tasks of different levels of complexity, a great start for beginners, a leader in the field of microservices.

I often work with her myself, only now as a customer, so I even left 61 rubles on my balance sheet. If you look into the history, you can see all the tasks with which I started in October 2014. Only the rating over time, if you do not work as a performer, is reset to zero.

Just like on any other normal exchange, in order to work, you need to pay a small amount - this is the developers' bread and butter. Unlike others, the cost of a monthly subscription here is minimal, only 100 rubles.

Other resources that I would also like to recommend for beginners, I think are a little more complicated, but it's worth signing up and trying them.

• weblancer- not exactly for beginners, but one of the best Runet exchanges.
• Author24– orders for students to complete tests, essays, term papers and diplomas.
• Copylancer- a good platform for beginner copywriters.
• contentmonster- also for copywriters. Look.
• Free-lance (fl.ru)– for professionals, there is nothing to do without a portfolio, but you can register and start collecting it.

You can write in the comments which exchanges you started working with or have already worked with.

Now I’ll tell you a little about what you need to understand when starting your journey to freelancing and remote work from home.

What mistakes do 99% of beginners make?

1. They expect money to be made easily online.

Coming to the freelance exchange and starting to complete tasks is not so easy and well paid.

I know a lot of people, my acquaintances, who came, made one order, spent a day on it and earned 100-200 rubles, left upset with the thought that you can’t earn much on freelancing. Do not build expectations, take tasks and gain experience.

There will be a lot of money when you become a professional and create an army of satisfied customers who will recommend you.

2. First they learn how to do it, and then they will look for a task.

You can't learn everything! Remember what I said at the beginning of the article?

The Exchange is a training ground, first get yourself assigned as the executor of the task, and then go and learn how to do it.

It’s okay if you don’t succeed, tell the customer that you can’t complete it and take another task.

3. Copy-paste responses to tasks.

Do you want to be chosen as a performer? Find an original approach to each customer and task.

Try to do the same and see how they respond to your offer. Evaluate who you liked best, what he wrote, and which of them you would approve as a performer.

4. They will respond to one task and sit waiting to be appointed as an executor.

This is the mistake that makes the job search process as long as possible.

At the initial stage, I sent 10-15 applications a day and did not receive, it happened, not a single answer. The more responses to tasks you leave, the more chances that you will be answered and a conversation will start with the customer.

5. Prioritize price, not task.

Well, really, many go to the exchange to earn money, and the price becomes the main priority.

Look for tasks that you like more than those that have a big price tag, try to choose one niche and pump it.

If the work will give you pleasure and arouse interest, then you will achieve results faster.

Hello friends and colleagues. On our agenda are freelance exchanges. We have already considered, however, freelancers are far from being only copywriters. Programmers, web and just designers, photographers, artists - representatives of all these, and not only, professions can try their hand at ordering - freelancing.

What should beginner freelancers do, where to get customers, and even such ones so that naive beginners are not deceived? Of course, you should look at the popular freelance exchanges. On such sites, as a rule, protection mechanisms are provided for both customers and performers.

Today I bring you a list of freelance exchanges suitable for beginners. There are many exchanges, it is easy to get confused in them. We will make our rating, consider their advantages and disadvantages. If you don’t understand at all what is at stake and what kind of freelancing is.

is one of my favorite new generation exchanges: it has been operating since 2015 and declares a fundamentally new approach to the relationship between the customer and the contractor (here they are called “buyer” and “seller”). There is a detailed article on the blog.

Beginning of work

We register (during the registration process you need to indicate whether you are a seller or a buyer, but when working on the site you can change the role) and fill out the profile, including information about yourself: specializations, experience, skills, etc.

After that, we create kworks:

Rules and Features

What is a quork? This is a certain service (or set of services) that the seller is ready to perform for a fixed price of 400 rubles. (for the buyer, the price is 500 rubles, i.e. the exchange takes a commission of 20%).

Kwork.ru positions itself as a store that sells freelance services, and the purchase should be as quick and convenient as in a store, without tedious negotiations and misunderstandings, and this is precisely what the Kwork format serves:

When creating a quark, the seller describes his services in as much detail as possible, indicates what exactly is included in the quark for 500 rubles, what services can be provided for an additional fee, what is the deadline for completing the work, etc. We can say that, unlike traditional exchanges, here the conditions are dictated by the contractor. To some extent, of course, but still ...

After creating one or more kworks, the seller has to wait for orders from buyers. Of course, a beginner will have to try and make his kwork as attractive as possible - in terms of the number of services included in it, in terms of their quality, etc.

What services are most in demand on the site?

• Design
• Texts
• Marketing, including internet marketing
• Video and audio

Settlements between the parties - only through the site service.

Conclusion

In my opinion, an extremely interesting and promising service, the undisputed leader among new freelance exchanges. Its advantages are undeniable:

• Convenience for both buyers and sellers. Unlike the traditional tender system, the seller can indicate what services he provides for a fixed amount, and the buyer sees this too and can agree or disagree immediately, without lengthy negotiations;
• The ability for the buyer to find a contractor for tasks of any complexity;
• Save time, again thanks to clearly defined conditions;
• The security of transactions is guaranteed by the service;
• The interface is user-friendly and understandable for both parties

Rating - 10.

- one of my favorite exchanges for remote work, I have already talked about it more than once and). Let's take another look at how good she is.

Beginning of work

To become a performer, you need:

1. Register on the exchange.
2. Pass a two-stage test: 1. the rules of the exchange and 2. a test for elementary literacy and knowledge of the basics of searching for information on the Internet. Apparently, in this way the exchange cuts off completely inadequate applicants.
3. Pay 390 r. - three months subscription.
4. Choose the specialization in which you are going to work.
5. Follow orders.

There are several specializations on the stock exchange:

You can choose one specialization, you can choose several, and you will be shown tasks only in the selected areas.

As we can see from the job catalog, this exchange is suitable

• for copywriters;
• for programmers and webmasters;
• for designers and photographers;
• for those who provide various remote services such as calling, working with audio-video, filling out tables and more.

The customer creates a task, indicating the timing of its implementation and cost. This amount is blocked on his account until the execution of the order by the contractor and confirmation of this fact by the customer.

You see a list of orders, and if the conditions of the task suit you, you apply for its implementation.

The customer sees the applications from the performers and can choose the one who suits him. If you are chosen, you negotiate the terms of the task, if necessary, and complete it. After that, the order amount, minus 10% going to the exchange, is transferred to your account.

Rules and Features

• At work-zilla.com, there is a rating system for the performer, which depends on the amount of completed tasks and the customer's ratings. The higher the rating and the better the reviews, the more assignments you get and the more likely customers are to approve you for the role of an executor.
• You can also leave feedback to the customer - recommend it to future performers or warn them against cooperating with him.
• On the exchange, settlement between the parties is prohibited, bypassing the exchange service.
• In addition to the list of tasks, vacancies are regularly published on the site.

Tasks cost very differently, because the prices are set by customers. There may be a task like “make a turnkey website” for 2000 rubles, or “write a selling text for a landing page” for 100 rubles. You decide whether to take on such orders: perhaps at first it makes sense to fulfill them - to increase the rating, but the higher the rating, the more "delicious" orders you will get.

Conclusion

The exchange provides excellent opportunities for beginner freelancers: here you can both improve your professional skills and earn good money, of course, if you are not lazy, but work hard. A transparent payment system guarantees receipt of payment for the order if it is completed in accordance with the requirements and on time; the customer is also protected from unscrupulous performers.

In addition, the interaction interface between the customer and the contractor is quite simple, even for a beginner it is very easy to figure out what and how to do on the stock exchange. Try it, I think you will like this freelancing exchange.

Score on a 10-point scale - 10.

fl.ru

Speaking about the largest freelance exchanges, it is impossible to ignore fl.ru. This freelance exchange has been operating since 2005 (formerly called free-lance.ru). More than a million freelancers are registered on it, about 40 thousand tasks are performed per month.

Beginning of work

After registration, a novice performer needs to fill out their profile. It needs to specify:

• Specialization - on a free account, you can choose only one;
• Your data;
• Portfolio and resume, where the performer can present examples of his work and tell about himself;
• Optionally, add a “Standard Service”:

After filling out the profile in the "Job" menu, you can browse the order feed in search of a suitable job.

Rules and Features

Settlement of the customer with the contractor is possible both through the "Safe deal" - an analogue of the payment system on work-zilla.ru, when the order amount is reserved on the customer's account and transferred to the contractor after the assignment is completed, or directly: the parties agree on the method of payment, prepayment, etc. .d.

• profile completeness;
• customer reviews;
• account type;
• completed work;
• site visits

The main feature of fl.ru at the moment is that, despite the theoretical possibility of working from a free account, in fact, in order to receive tasks, you need to switch to a paid account, the so-called. PRO. The vast majority of orders are marked "Only for Pro". Here are the rates:

Nothing like that, right? Especially compared to the cost of a Workzilla subscription.

Conclusion

This freelance exchange is one of the most promoted and popular. There are many different services here - freelance contests, advertising, services, and 60% of all Runet orders - here. You can find your niche. Among the shortcomings is the serious cost of starting work, which may not be able to recapture, given the high competition and the presence of many honored old-timers.
Score - 6

- the oldest freelance exchange in Runet, founded in 2003.

Beginning of work

As well as on fl.ru, after registration, you must fill out a profile:

Fill in all the required fields, including placing a portfolio and a list of services. After that, in the "Work" menu, you see tasks.

Rules and Features

All types of earnings on Weblancer can be divided into three categories:

1. Projects - one-time tasks
2. Contests are tasks for participation in which the performer submits his similar works, does some preliminary work, etc.
3. Vacancies - offers of permanent work.

All these types of work are visible in the general order feed (you can configure it to see only selected types of work).

Weblancer.net uses the term "Tariff plan". Its essence is that you choose the categories with which you will work and pay for the opportunity to work with tasks from these categories. With a free account, you can only admire the tasks. To be able to leave requests for tasks, you need to pay a tariff plan. Let's see what rates are available:

We select the section “Web programming and Sites”, indicate all categories, and our tariff plan for a month is 10 USD, they are also dollars. The section "Texts and Translations" will cost 8 USD, "Web Design and Interfaces" - 10 USD.

However, do not forget that registration provides free access to 30 applications. Perhaps this is enough for a good income and a rating.

• Another feature of Weblancer is that the performer is charged a fee of 5% of the order value for each positive review. A non-trivial approach, what to say.
• The settlements of the parties are carried out in the same way as on fl.ru: either through secure transactions, or by agreement directly.
• It is not forbidden to exchange contact information.
• There is a forum where you can exchange views with colleagues and ask questions.

Conclusion

This freelancing exchange is not very friendly for beginners, but rather for professionals with a well-established portfolio that knows what they want and what they can do. For them, the tariffs are not terrible and easily pay off. Also, for beginners, the need to pay for reviews is not very pleasant. But the opportunity to get 30 applications for free is a definite plus of this exchange, you can try your hand.

Score - 7

is a large remote work exchange created in 2008, originally as a freelance forum.

Beginning of work

Rules and Features

Like Weblancer, the work here is divided into three categories:

• The performer's rating is here called the business activity index and is made up of reviews, completeness of the portfolio and information about himself, use of paid services.

Conclusion

Of course, a beginner here will have to work hard to reach the heights. However, the opportunity to work and earn money without buying paid accounts, as well as the general benevolent atmosphere, encourages you to make an attempt and try to get promoted here.

It has been operating since 2006 and positions itself as a freelance exchange for professionals. What is it? Let's see.

Beginning of work

After registration, you must fill out a portfolio and information about yourself: select specializations (you can choose several), interests, indicate how you work - with or without prepayment, through a risk-free transaction, etc.

Then we go to "Offers from customers" and look for suitable orders.

Rules and Features

You can work on the site in a free account, but, like on fl.ru and freelance.ru, you will feel uncomfortable in this status. What are the ways to improve your account?

1. VIP account. Owners of this account get a number of features, for example, displaying a freelance directory on the main page, the ability to immediately respond to orders, etc. It costs 150 rubles. per month.
2. Placement on the main page. It costs from 30 rubles. per day up to 840 rubles. per month. The chance of being noticed increases.
3. Improved account. Allows you to add an unlimited number of your works to the portfolio and an instant response to the order. It costs 500 r. in year.

In addition, the site has its own "trick": a directory of professionals. To get there, you need to submit an application, which (as well as your portfolio) will be considered by the jury, eventually making a verdict whether you are a professional or not.

Here in such an easy and unconstrained form it is proposed to undergo an “inspection”. Well, that's a really good suggestion. Of course, you need to have an excellent portfolio.

• Payment, like on most of the exchanges we reviewed, is available in two options - secure transaction and direct payment
• There is a forum of project participants
• A lot of work for designers, programmers, webmasters, marketers, copywriters
• The rating is calculated on the basis of reviews both for the work performed, and for the work in the portfolio and for the account as a whole

Conclusion

An interesting freelance exchange for beginners, you should register on it and try your hand. The prices for paid services are low, and a positive assessment of you as a professional can inspire and give new creative strength.

Score - 8

So far, we have considered the largest freelance exchanges that have been successfully providing services to customers and freelancers for a long time and have both loyal fans and opponents. The principles of their work are similar: the customer publishes the order, the performers fight for it. This is a tender system, and the differences are only in particulars.

But life does not stand still: let's look at new freelance exchanges that work differently.

- an exchange similar to the principles of operation, has existed since 2013. It also positions itself as a digital services store.

Beginning of work

As a standard, we register, fill out the profile and proceed to the creation of works (an analogue of kworks from kwork.ru).

Rules and Features

Like on kwork.ru, the performer determines the number of services included in the work, the deadline, services for an additional fee, but unlike kwork.ru, he sets the cost of his work:

For beginners, the “Ready to make a work for a review” option is of interest, as well as the ability to set any price for a work.

Please note: the exchange commission is 20% and is charged from the contractor. Calculations - through the site service.

This is a rather unusual freelancing exchange, starting with the name: moguza - means “I can for”. I can do something for so many rubles - this is how all the work begins.

In addition to standard services such as:

• Website development
• Marketing and social networks
• Texts
• Advertising

etc., here you can find many unusual and even strange vorks:

In general, for every taste: they will tell fortunes, and talk, and congratulate you on the New Year. Moguza expands our understanding of freelancing, doesn't it?

Conclusion

A good freelance exchange, a beginner can be quite comfortable here. You can sell any service (within reason, and of course the law), for which you have enough imagination, and for any product there is a buyer. Try it, at least it's interesting here.

Score - 8

- an exchange that differs from those previously considered by the specifics of customers: these are students. The service has been operating since 2012.

Beginning of work

We register, read a warning that the exchange of contact information between the contractor and the customer is prohibited, watch a presentation about working on the site (a useful "trick", by the way), go through a small test according to the rules of the service and fill out the profile. Quite a serious approach to a potential performer.

Rules and Features

author24.ru uses the auction principle of submitting applications for fulfillment of orders: choose the task you are interested in:

and set the price:

The commission of the system, as we see, 20%, is charged from the customer. All calculations, as well as messaging - only through the site.

• After completing the task and handing it over to the customer, a warranty period begins: within 20 days, the customer can ask for some improvements (students, on the other hand, must hand over the work). Only after the expiration of this period and confirmation by the customer of the completion of the work, the money is credited to the account of the contractor.
• There is an opportunity to sell finished works.
• The rating of the performer affects the choice of the customer, so it is very important. Calculated using a complex formula that takes into account the number of completed orders, completion grades, lead time, and other factors.

What activities are popular here? All for which students study:

• Technical
• Economic
• natural
• Humanities

The works that are proposed to be performed can also be found in the program of any university:

• Diploma works
• Coursework
• Laboratory works
• Practice Reports
• Problem solving
• Blueprints
• Reports

and much more.

Conclusion

If you are not embarrassed by the very idea of ​​​​such a service - doing educational work instead of students, then it is quite possible to try your hand at this exchange, especially if you are well versed in any university discipline. A beginner can offer their services at dumping prices and quickly gain a good rating.

Until now, we have considered only domestic services. Why not enter foreign freelance exchanges? In other countries, freelancing has a longer history than in Russia, there are more customers, prices are higher.

I’ll note right away that foreign exchanges are more suitable for programmers and other IT specialists, photographers, and possibly translators.

Let's take a look at international platforms.

- the largest foreign exchange, created in 2009 by merging several large freelance platforms. More than 20 million (!) users are registered on the site, it is possible to choose a Russian-language interface:

Beginning of work

Everything is in general as we are accustomed to:

• we register, choosing what we want: to hire or work;
• we select from the table the skills and experience - the specializations in which we will work. You can choose 20 skills for a free account.
• After going through all the steps, verifying your email address, filling out a profile (you can attach a portfolio), we can start working.

Rules and Features

Conclusion

A beginner will have a hard time on such a huge resource:

1. Need to know English;
2. It is necessary to study all the local "chips", of which there are many;
3. You will have to face tough competition and work for a long time "for food", i.e. reputation.

But still the game is worth the candle. Prices here are higher than on Russian resources, there are more customers. If you have already achieved something locally and want to expand internationally, this resource is for you.

In 2015, the two largest international freelance exchanges odesk.com and elance.com merged and turned into a mega exchange. The service positions itself as a workspace for cooperation between customers and contractors, unlike other exchanges that are “bulletin boards”. More than 12 million freelancers and more than 5 million customers are registered on the exchange.

Beginning of work

It is worth immediately considering that everything here is in English.

Register (choose who we are - a freelancer or a customer). We confirm the e-mail, fill out the profile: select the type of work, categories, attach a portfolio.

On this exchange, filling out a profile is taken seriously: you need to indicate a lot of information about yourself - education, years of study, photo, address, phone number ... If something is not filled out, the system will not let you go further. If the system cannot recognize a face in the photo, it will not let it through either.

• In addition, you need to indicate how much you estimate the hour of your work - this can be useful for projects that require hourly wages.
• It is advisable to pass tests in your specializations in order to increase customer confidence. The tests are free.
• The completed profile is sent for moderation - they may not approve.

Rules and Features

Based on the information from your profile, the service creates a job offer feed for you.

You can also search for a job yourself by enabling and disabling job categories:

You can spend a lot of time looking for the right job, so it's worth taking the time to correctly fill out your profile with all the skills so that the jobs that really suit you are displayed in the offer feed.

There are two types of jobs on upwork.com:

1. Fixed payment. The contractor is selected on a tender basis.
2. With hourly pay - work is carried out through a special application that tracks working time.

Upwork takes a commission of 10% from the order - usually deducted from the customer. Settlements between the parties are carried out through the service of the site.

Conclusion

As in the case of freelancer.com, a beginner here will have to puff, understanding the nuances. The competition on upwork is also very significant, you need to start with small projects with modest pay - according to user reviews, Indians and Pakistanis are greedy for such projects, but their qualifications are usually low, so applicants from other countries attract attention (especially true for IT).

Like freelancer.com, upwork is for those who have already achieved something locally.

So, we have reviewed the list of freelance exchanges. Based on my experience and careful consideration of the features of the exchange, I recommend two best freelance exchanges for beginner freelancers:

Before proceeding with the review, let's clarify that if you are a beginner, you can find exchanges for yourself that are high, if a professional - exchanges that place the most expensive orders.

For copywriters

1. Etxt— The exchange is very powerful. You can work on it both as a performer and as a customer. You can sell articles, or you can buy content for your projects. There is always enough work and even a complete beginner can find an order for himself. Of course, not for a lot of money, but from 7 to 20 rubles per 1000 characters is quite possible. And then with experience you can raise prices. The advantage of working here is as follows: experience is gained, skills are acquired, and experience, as you know, is priceless.
2. Advego- A major player in the market. Many call this exchange the leader among other exchanges working with copywriters and rewriters. Registration here is simple, there are always a lot of orders, work is in full swing.
3. Сopylancer- This one is mainly used by those who create really high-quality content. The rules by which texts are written are strict here, but the price for 1000 characters is appropriate: 80 - 100 rubles. The thing is different: this is a store that sells articles, but this does not mean that your articles will be bought quickly.
4. Text.ru — Not just an exchange, but also a service for checking the material for uniqueness. A distinctive feature of the exchange is that expensive orders for serious professionals are placed here. The price varies from 100 to 200 rubles per thousand characters.

11. make-sale- Positions itself as an exchange, the main specialization of which is texts. Although orders in other directions also occur. Everything is free for performers, payments are made through the secure transaction system. The exchange is not yet the flagship of the market, but this only simplifies the work for beginners.

19. Revolution— This is a free freelance exchange. It is difficult to single out other advantages, due to the fact that the exchange is not particularly popular.

Many people talk about a large number of orders from scammers who give a task to work, and when they receive it, they disappear. There is no secure transaction system on this exchange, the direct payment option is used. Users also note that new orders appear very rarely, at best once a week. Perhaps things will gradually change for the better, but today things are like this.

To get started, you need to buy a subscription, which costs about 400 rubles. If this is not done, the contractor will only see orders, but will not be able to take them to work.

The range of services provided is wide: programmers and artists, those who are engaged in rewriting and writing music offer their services.
8. weblancer- A popular project, even for beginners. You can register for free, but to respond to a project, you need to activate the tariff plan.

You need to try to stand out from their background and at the same time not run into scammers who trade on the exchanges in large numbers.

Each exchange has its own characteristics, we will analyze a few.

Scheme of work:

1. Publication of the project by the customer;
2. Studying the task by freelancers and submitting applications for execution;
3. Choice by the client of the contractor;
4. The contractor does the work, the client pays for it.

Freelancers directory.

There are almost everywhere. It is formed according to the rating of performers. On the first pages are those who are the lucky owner of the highest rating. The customer often chooses the contractor from here and offers him a job directly.

To get into such directories, you need to earn a high rating.

Safe transaction.

A service through which transactions between the customer and the contractor pass. Freelancers with experience work just like that. This is a kind of guarantee, protection against fraudulent activities.

Paid accounts.

Usually found in large venues. Used by freelancers to attract the attention of serious customers.

In this case, we have characterized the features inherent in most exchanges. Each site has its own nuances, but you can familiarize yourself with them by registering on the resource you like. In the meantime, let's discuss how to choose it.

How to choose an exchange

1. To get started, consider the list of exchanges;
2. Follow the links and form your opinion and first impression according to the following criteria: is it convenient to use the site, do you like the design, pay attention to whether the secure transaction service works;
3. Read reviews from other freelancers, especially those about scams;
4. Find out if there is a commission, whether you need to pay for accounts, how funds are withdrawn.

For example: you can choose by a simple principle the largest exchange in Runet. But you won't be able to start working until you buy a Pro account. You need to find out such nuances in advance.

How much can you earn

The most common question. The level of income is directly dependent on how much tasks you complete. That is, the principle applies: the more you work, the more you earn.

But it is worth considering that at the beginning of a task with a high payment, it will be difficult to get. First of all, earn a name for yourself, gain experience. Only then will it become possible to take really high-paying projects to work.

Given these points, the average freelancer, working 7 to 8 hours a day with coffee breaks, will be able to earn about $600. Pretty good at the current rate.

Freelancers who have extensive experience and an impeccable reputation earn several thousand dollars a month. But to achieve this, you need to go all the way from beginner to pro.

How to withdraw money

The main problem for a freelancer is often the withdrawal of earned funds from the exchange. We list the main methods below.

Yandex money.

To use the wallet, it is enough to register in the system. It is simple, does not cause difficulties. On some exchanges, money for withdrawal must be ordered in advance, and the withdrawal itself is carried out once a week on a specific day.

When the money is credited to the electronic wallet, it will be possible to withdraw it to a bank card. The minimum withdrawal amount is 500 rubles + system commission.

WebMoney.

In order to register, you will need a passport, phone number and email address. Registration is free. In order to withdraw funds from the wallet, you need to send a scan of your passport to the security service.

It is also a common option for withdrawing funds from the exchange. Registration is fast and free.

Bank cards.

Many exchanges have this method of withdrawing funds. Usually it should be a card of any Russian bank, Visa or Mastercard.

If the exchange is Ukrainian, withdrawal to hryvnia cards is possible.

How to avoid scammers

Deception on the Internet is widespread - this is already an axiom. But most often, newcomers fall for the hook of scammers, although the pros also encounter scammers in their work. How to reduce this risk, we will discuss further.

Signs that characterize fraud:

• Negotiations are conducted in an inadequate style. The customer refers to "you", speaks in the tone of an old friend, or, conversely, too impudently. It often happens that the swindler is too kind, expresses admiration for your work;
• The customer limits the ways of communication. For example, it leaves only an email address for communication, and it was created a few days ago;
• The customer suppresses any talk about prepayment. In this case, they will refuse to cooperate with you, even if you are already a professional.

The most common freelancer scams.

Most often, novice freelancers and not only they are deceived with the help of the so-called “test task”. The scheme is simple: the performer is offered a task to complete - to write an article. He is immediately told that the test task will not be paid.

It is clear that as soon as a person sends the finished material, all contacts with him are stopped. Such deception has become simply global in the network. There are even companies that fill their sites with content in this way.

Similar manipulations are done with designers, translators and programmers. Nobody is safe.

The second step in popularity is occupied by gross fraud. Those. Initially, the freelancer is told that he will receive, for example, 1000 rubles for his work. As soon as the work is done, the performer is confronted with the fact that there will be no payment, the order is poorly executed.

It is very difficult to prove such actions, since most often there are no written contracts between the customer and the contractor. E-mail in this case is also not evidence.

To avoid such situations, to protect yourself from the actions of scammers, freelancers with experience recommend:

• Find out as much information as possible about the potential employer, ask for his phone numbers, address;
• Try to find reviews about him on the Internet, for sure he has already collaborated with someone;
• Look for information on freelance forums, ask colleagues.

Conclusion

So, let's sum up. Remote work provides many benefits. You can choose the schedule, the type of activity that you want to do. But all the benefits that freelancing provides must be used wisely.

Such a large level of freedom does not benefit everyone. You need strong self-discipline and responsibility. As for the exchanges, it’s real on them, the main thing is to have patience and not be lazy.
