Just as we have to go from office to office to get a job after completing our studies, we have to look for work after learning freelancing. There are many popular freelancing marketplaces to get freelance work where the buyer provides the job description. Let’s get an idea of some of the most secure and popular freelancing marketplaces in the world.
Fiverr
Fiverr has gained a lot of popularity since its establishment. The story behind its popularity is that many small projects are available here. Fibre is a good option for a new freelancing learner.
Here, starting from data entry, all types of online income work are available. Fibre usually does not have to find its own buyer. Here, a freelancer has to open a gig with the description of the work he can do. The client finds and orders gigs for his required work himself. Pricing starts from a minimum of $15 in this marketplace.
Upwork
Upwork’s previous name was Odesk. Upwork is the most secure and professional among the freelancing marketplaces. There are more professional buyers here, which is why knowing a little work does not give you much advantage. Moreover, you have to find your own work on Upwork and apply there through connections.
Buyers select the proposals and hire the most experienced freelancers. All kinds of small and large projects are available on Upwork. If you are very good at anything that can be earned online, then Upwork will be very good for you.
Project-based and hourly-based work are available on the Upwork marketplace. Depending on the project, the buyer determines how much it needs to be completed. In project-based jobs, you can take a one-time charge, while for hourly-based work, you will be paid at a fixed hourly rate.
Guru
Guru is an international freelancing marketplace like Upwork and Fiber. Here you can find work on video editing, web development, digital marketing, writing, programming, etc.
Guru usually posts jobs like Upwork. That is, buyers post jobs with their job descriptions, and freelancers with accounts bid to get the work. Buyers select proposals and select suitable freelancers.
Here, you can work in two ways: fixed and hourly. Guru controls their marketplace by following very strict rules. Due to this, there is very little spam. Guru has PayPal, bank transfer, and Payoneer as payment systems.

Almost all categories of work are available here. However, a unique aspect of the People Per Hour marketplace is that here you can sell your services. That is, you will get the opportunity to apply for the work posted by the buyer as well as sell your services.
99 Designs
99 Designs is a heaven for freelance designers. All types of graphic design related work are available here. This website is made only for designers, so freelancers of other categories do not come.
Web page design, logo design, T-shirt design, poster design, book cover design, social media content design and product packaging, along with other graphics related work are available here.
Basically, the 99 Designs website works a little differently. Here the buyer posts a job with a brief description of what kind of design he needs. There, designers submit designs following the details. Only those whose designs are liked by the buyer from the submitted files will get paid. And the rest of those who have submitted will not get any payment. That is, they have to earn from the 99 Designs marketplace through competition.
Dribble
Dribble is a very well-known and popular creative designer marketplace. To work here, you must be a design specialist, otherwise you will not get the desired success.
However, Dribble works differently from all other marketplaces. Here, first you have to create an account and prepare a professional profile. Then you have to create a job board and upload your best designs there.
Because here the client finds and purchases the design himself. The competition can be reduced by determining the location to work. If you have sufficient experience, you can easily achieve success.
Simply Hired
This marketplace is a sea of work. Because there is no charge for posting and completing jobs here. There is no restriction on buyers posting jobs. That is why there is no shortage of work on the Simply Hired marketplace.
