Sites for 1C-specialists and programmers

I found not so many specialized sites for IT-specialists and programmers. Further, when we consider these professions in more detail, I will give many more examples of various forums and portals where you can find a good remote job for programmers.

1clancer.ru- an exchange for programmers and 1C specialists from all CIS countries.

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 what in question and what kind of freelance -.

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 exactly 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.

Output

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:

Register on the exchange.
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.
Pay 390 r. - three months subscription.
Choose the specialization in which you are going to work.
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.

Output

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.

Output

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:

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

All these types of work are visible in common tape order (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 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.

Output

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

Standard registration (you must provide a phone number and choose whether you are a customer or a freelancer).

After registration, go to the "Find a job" menu and look for orders.

Rules and features

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

Projects
Contests (held on the partner site https://freelance.boutique)
Jobs

The contractor has access to orders depending on his account.

Everything you need to know about paid and free accounts is given in this table:

Many tasks are available only to owners of paid accounts.

Settlements on the site are carried out both through the FairPlay secure transaction system and directly between participants
There is an opportunity to sell finished work: photos, graphics, website templates, texts, etc.
On the site you can chat on the forum and blogs: https://blabber.freelance.ru is a communication service between freelance.ru participants.
The site is more suitable for programmers, for designers there are many tasks for designing and creating sites. However, copywriters also have something to do here.
The rating of the performer is here called the index of business activity and is made up of reviews, completeness of the portfolio and information about yourself, use of paid services.

Output

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, make it possible to make an attempt and try to get promoted here.

Score - 7

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 need to 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 transaction without risk, 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?

VIP account. Owners of this account acquire a number of opportunities, for example, display on home page freelancer directory, the ability to immediately respond to orders, etc. It costs 150 rubles. per month.
Placement on the main page. It costs from 30 rubles. per day up to 840 rubles. per month. The chance of being noticed increases.
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

Output

An interesting freelance exchange for beginners, you should register on it and try your hand. Prices on paid services 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.

Apart from 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?

Output

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.

Output

If you are not confused by the very idea of such a service - the implementation academic work instead of students, 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 by filling out a profile (you can attach a portfolio), we can start working.

Rules and features

Output

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

Need to know English;
It is necessary to study all the local "chips", of which there are many;
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.

Score - 8

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 searching suitable job, so it's worth taking the time to correctly fill out your profile with all the skills so that the orders that really suit you are displayed in the offer feed.

There are two types of jobs on upwork.com:

Fixed payment. The contractor is selected on a tender basis.
FROM by the hour– 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.

Output

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.

Score - 8

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 exchanges freelance:

– as a reliable and proven resource, and
– as a new interesting concept of remote work.

Of course, my choice is subjective, you may not agree with me. By the way, we would like to consider 11 freelance exchanges, right? And now there are 10 of them. Tell us in the comments about your favorite exchange for remote work, which one else should be included in this list and why?

Let's digress a little, remember in the 2000s this character? I really liked this performance of his - I remember recording it on a video cassette when there was no YouTube yet:

Freelancing for beginners is enticing enough. But you need to understand that there is a difference between a remote employee and a freelancer. remote employee usually works on permanent basis, and the freelancer performs one-time orders and assignments without concluding any permanent deals. And if you have not yet decided how you will earn money on the Internet, then you can start with freelancing. This can be a very good help for beginners, but besides, you will type good experience, and earn a rating.

How to make money freelancing?

Freelancers make money on exchanges, they are called freelance exchanges. They can do all kinds of work - from elementary mailing messages to creating sites. That is, there is a lot of work here and it is very different in complexity.

Freelance exchanges are popular with both employers and performers, because the employer does not spend his time looking for an employee, he simply puts his order on the exchange and chooses a performer from those who wish. And freelancers like exchanges because they went to the exchange when they wanted, chose an order for themselves, completed it, received money - that's all, no other obligations. And you can take several orders, the main thing is that they be completed with high quality and on time.

Of course, not everything is as simple as it seems - competition, deadlines, quality, rating - all this is there and all this is important, and of course, there are some peculiarities and tricks.

Let's start in order. The first thing a beginner freelancer should do is register on freelance exchanges. There are many, but we recommend these:

Freelance.ru is one of the largest exchanges in Runet.
FL.ru - for different specializations.
Freelancehunt.com - for programmers, copywriters, designers, and other professionals.
FreelanceJob.ru - for professionals who already have a portfolio (samples of completed work).

Freelance exchanges are inhabited not only by beginners, but also by pros. Here you can write texts, develop websites, create logos, etc., or you can send messages, make phone calls, write responses or comments. That is, a novice freelancer has the opportunity to start earning money without certain skills.

It must be understood that the earnings of freelancers depend on the scope of work, available skills, skill level. With the necessary experience, freelancers earn several times more than office workers.

Freelance for beginners it doesn’t promise big money right away - you need to gain practice, acquire skills, but you need to start somewhere! And the amount of income directly depends on the time that you will devote to finding orders and the quality of their implementation.

Freelancer newbie you can start with the exchange http://work-zilla.com/, but consider it not as a field for the main income, but as a platform for training. However, no matter which exchange you choose to work with, the rules of behavior on them are almost the same:

Freelance for beginners - this is a good starting point, but you definitely need to know that finding good, profitable assignments is a chronic thing, you have to make an effort to get them.
Stable, good employers need to be won, they don’t come on their own 🙂

There is an opinion that freelancers make a lot of money. This is partly true, the work of freelancers, especially beginners, is much cheaper than the work of specialists from various studios, but the work of experienced, rated freelancers is highly valued.

On average, freelancers can earn from one hundred to a thousand rubles per hour of work - it all depends on skills and demand for services.

For example -

Beginning freelancers earn from 100 to 150 rubles per hour. In this option, you do not need to be highly qualified. For that kind of money, you can upload finished material to the site, write simple texts, send out ads, etc.
Freelancers who already have certain skills and references earn from 150 to 300 rubles per hour.
Experienced freelancers earn from 300 to 700 rubles per hour. As a rule, these are already good specialists who have an established portfolio.
Professionals with a high rating earn from 700 rubles per hour and above, and they mainly perform work that is in high demand on the Internet.

The main thing to understand is that even highly paid freelancers once started somewhere. Start and you, in this business the main goal, set it and every day move towards its achievement. For some tips on how to become a freelancer, see.

All success!

Freelance is great option for part-time work, and if desired, it can really be turned into a stable and profitable source of income. You can find interesting vacancies on special exchanges, even a novice performer can do it. Every person who is ready to reveal their potential and achieve new goals will be able to realize themselves with the help of freelancing.

What is freelancing and how to make money on it?

Freelancers are called freelance workers who perform certain types of work without concluding a long-term contract with the employer. Most often, they look for work on their own, it is most effective to do this through the Internet, online bulletin boards, newspapers, and personal acquaintances. As a rule, the most free vacancies for freelancers in certain areas:

Journalism, work with text.
Sphere of IT-technologies.
Design (web design, advertising, interior design).
Creation of thematic sites, programming.
Translations.
Consulting.
Photo, video filming, photo processing.

Advice: if a novice freelancer does not have any specialized knowledge or skills, he should focus on the most simple tasks by selecting , reading letters or participating in testing, voting.

In everyday life, the term freelance does not have a clear definition; most people understand it as any work on the market (exchange) of orders and services. Rapid development information technologies allows you to do more and more work outside the office.

Advantages and disadvantages of remote work:

pros	Minuses
Opportunity to choose the type of activity	There is a chance of not getting paid (if you carelessly approach the issue of choosing an employer)
Work in a comfortable environment	No social package, paid days off, holidays as with official employment
Self-created chart	Instability of income with a poorly planned schedule (this is a common problem for beginner freelancers)
The contractor can choose how the customer will pay	You need to keep records and pay income yourself
Opportunities for international cooperation	Freelancing takes time to find a suitable vacancy in all respects
You can change the type of activity at any time	In some cases, additional costs for the arrangement of the workplace are required.
The impact on the level of earnings of third-party factors (the team, the attitude of the boss, family difficulties) is significantly reduced, everything depends only on the employee's determination

In order for a novice freelancer to make money, it is important not only to organize workplace and create an optimal work schedule, but also follow some rules:

it is important that the number of orders taken corresponds to the physical capabilities of the performer;
the work schedule of a beginner must necessarily include time for rest, training and professional development;
you should not take very cheap orders with high requirements, you can always find a worthy offer, the main thing is to want it;
a novice freelancer must establish himself as a good specialist, and over time, vacancies will find their own performer.

Advice: when applying to an employer on a freelance exchange, be sure to follow its content. You must briefly communicate your potential, advantages and convince the customer that you will do the job better than others. Serving it empty or with a set of characters is unacceptable for both a novice freelancer and an experienced freelancer.

The stock exchange is considered one of the best options for a novice freelancer who decided to focus on content creation. In addition to writing articles for thematic sites, the user will be able to find tasks for SEO optimization, translations, sell their photos in the Photo Catalog. Tasks are paid in rubles. It should be borne in mind that it is difficult to get access to well-paid tasks at the initial stage, because almost all customers pay attention to the personal rating of the performer on the site, and it will grow in proportion to the growth in the number of orders and their cost. This service is good because it provides an opportunity for a novice freelancer with any level of training to choose the right task for himself. Although it is not easy for a beginner to find a well-paid project on the site, it is definitely worth taking advantage of its offers.

Text.ru

On the exchange, you can find tasks of a different profile, including writing news. Prices for writing 1000 characters of text start from a few rubles. Earned funds can be withdrawn immediately to a bank account or electronic wallet (QIWI, Webmoney). For express withdrawal, the user will be charged an additional commission - 5%. It is important that the site has special free services for checking the text according to various parameters: uniqueness, spelling, SEO analysis. You can also successfully earn money writing texts and working with content on other freelance services: Turbotext, Textsale, CopyLancer, Neotext, Textbroker, Smart-Copywriting, Contentmonster, etc.

In addition to writing texts, you can always choose a simpler task, such as downloading, writing comments, posts on social networks and forums. More adventurous users should try their luck in options trading.

Hello friends!

We are now in Sikkim, in the heart of Tibetan world, a small mountainous state of India, sandwiched between closed Bhutan and charming. But even here, among rhododendrons, fogs and rains, I continue to work actively: I make up websites and I’m not even too lazy to write a blog. I even made a post recently.

And now I will touch on another extremely important aspect of remote work: the most important and best freelancing exchanges and remote work at home for beginners and pros. And I will not just give a list, but I will also try to describe in a nutshell what features this or that site has.

My list will include resources for programmers, copywriters, architects, accountants, and even lawyers, HR and actors. In addition, I will try to raise the issue with foreign exchanges and give a couple of aggregators.

Sometimes they write to me with questions “how to work on a particular site?”. I always answer the same way: “the principles are the same everywhere as in 2016, as in 2017, and if you have been sitting on these services and exchanges for years, . It is courses from professionals that give the most powerful and effective kick in the ass. I tried to find something on my own for about 3 years and only after a month of training did I start to get good results.

So let's go:

fl.ru- one of the most important resources for a freelancer of any profile. They ask for money for every sneeze. For successful promotion, you need to buy a PRO-account.
weblancer.net is another major player with a large number of specializations. (suitable for beginners)
freelance.com- an exchange that grew out of a remote work forum.
freelancehunt.com— a universal resource for freelancers of various specializations
freelanceJob.ru— is positioned as a platform for pros with a good track record
workzilla.com— simple and versatile exchange with its own features (suitable for beginners)
kwork.ru- a very interesting approach to tasks and projects: performers post their projects in bundles (“kworks”) of 500 rubles each. (suitable for beginners)

And yes: I cannot say in advance which of the presented sites is the best. Each of them has its own limitations and possibilities. Register, try, see! The principles of working with customers, as I wrote above, are the same everywhere!

For photographers, illustrators and designers

illustrators.ru- many options for illustrators
dizkon.ru- design contests
photovideoapplication.rf— projects for photographers

For models and actors

There is even one! I myself personally met a photo model - a freelancer working for several advertising agencies.

virtuzor.ru— project search exchange for creative professions in the field of leisure and entertainment: artists, musicians, artists, etc.

For copywriters

Copywriters are incredibly lucky, because they have at their disposal a huge number of freelance exchanges for finding projects. Most of them, of course, are the same. I don’t see the point of registering everywhere, but you never know how the card will fall?

etxt.ru is an old and proven player in the market. A lot of orders, a lot of customers, prices are small. Can be bought and sold own articles and even photographs. Perfect for beginners
copylancer.ru- Another platform for finding orders for texts. Easy to get started for beginners
contentmonster.ru- one of the main advantages of the site: a test in Russian for literacy. Still, they would check the tongue-tied tongue - in general, there would be no price.
advego.ru- Another proven and seasoned resource. The functionality is similar to etxt: a lot of work, fairly high competition among participants, the ability to buy and sell an article.
textsale.ru- a good option for making money on copywriting. Of the features: a rating of popular articles, thanks to which you can immediately start writing on popular topics, which greatly increases the chances of sales.
Txt.ru- a platform for experienced freelancers with fairly standard prices for 1000 characters. Not suitable for beginners: high requirements and payments are not daily.
Snipercontent.ru is a new resource. Chip for the customer - add a website, copywriters themselves will figure out what to write about on it. Register, we will not be superfluous
Text.ru- a standard exchange of orders, purchase and sale of texts. I can't single it out
Turbotext.ru- another resource on copyright.
Neotext.ru- the name speaks for itself. New player in the market
TextBroker.ru- a bureau of professional copywriters that promises texts at a relatively high price (from 100 rubles per 1000)
My-publication.ru- Another resource for finding orders for copywriters and rewriters.
smartcopywriting.com- A good resource for finding jobs and projects. There are vacancies for permanent employment.
Votimenno.ru— platform for naming: slogans, domains, names for the company, goods or services.
Krasnoslov.ru- another site for finding orders. Judging by the rather poor design and usability, not very interesting.

For programmers

Many proggers sit on universal exchanges, which I listed in the "leaders" section, simply because they do not know about the existence of typical IT sites. Too lazy to go to Google, type in queries like " telework for programmers :)

1clancer.ru— 1C specialists, rejoice! An entire exchange has been set up for you. According to experienced comrades, there you can find many projects with good budgets.
http://devhuman.com/ is a service for creating and searching for companies, startups or a team of IT specialists.
Voipguru.ru- even VoIP specialists were not forgotten
freelansim.ru- a typical IT platform for searching for projects.

For lawyers, accountants and HR

Who said that remote work is only about programming, design and translations? I don’t know how effective these sites are, but for some reason it seems to me that the laws of freelancing are the same everywhere.

Pravoved.ru- a platform for lawyers and lawyers. Visitors ask - experts answer for a fee.
HRtime.ru— a resource for HR freelancers to find remote projects in the field of personnel management.

Exchanges for architects, engineers and builders

architector.ru– interior designers and architects, you are here
www.midoma.ru— a site with a poor design, but a very large number of projects on design, engineering, architecture, etc.
www.proektanti.ru— remote work projects for design engineers
ries.pro(former Chert-master.com) - remote work for techies, engineers and designers

Exchanges for students

To be honest, I don’t know how ethical it is to provide links to such resources. But after all, such assistance is a very effective remote work, isn't it?

https://vsesdal.com/- help students in solving their problems
Help-s.ru- another resource from the category of "help the student"
Author24.ru— stock exchange course, control and essays.

Not tired yet? Be patient, we'll be done soon!

Other exchanges for remote work and freelancing

A few more sites and estates for hilling:

e-generator.com— a competitive resource for copywriters and namers. From the category: come up with the name of a company or product and get paid for it.

Foreign freelance exchanges

At webinars, I am often asked a question with a request to give a list of some proven sites. Actually, here:

https://www.freelancer.com/ is one of the world's largest remote job search players with more than 8 million freelancers around the world. There is a version in Russian.
https://www.upwork.com/ - another old and proven service where half of India and half of Bangladesh inevitably try to climb in search of good orders. Great amount projects and the same number of specialists. Formerly known as elance.com and odesk.com.

How to start quickly on these exchanges?

Exchanges, as you can see, the mass. Each of them has its own characteristics and nuances. But the essence of all of them is the same - it is a meeting place for customers and performers.

Performers, especially beginners, often face the same problems on exchanges:

unable to take order
small price tags
deals fall through
competition and dumping
inadequate customers
etc.

All this is very demoralizing, especially if you meet it at the very start. It begins to seem that throughout the journey it will be the only way.

Therefore, you need to be able to work on the exchanges, extracting the maximum benefit from them.

To make your freelancing start effective, I recommend a mini-course "First freelance money" . Please note that the cost of it pays off on the first order. But in the future, no one will be able to take away the acquired skills from you!

Well, everything seems to be! And even despite such an impressive list, it is far from complete. Some exchanges for remote work and freelance are dying, some are being born again. Therefore, if you have add-ons or practical experience work with other sites, please write in the comments.
