While you might take pride in running every aspect of your site or business, it’s not healthy or sane to do so. In contrast, a freelancer may be on that same treadmill, but for finding and winning quality work. Upwork looks to help these people connect within one marketplace. However, there are a multitude of Upwork alternatives to choose from, and expand your chances of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, not all marketplaces are equal, and you’ll want to consider whether your chosen site has enough ‘footfall’. This is only a starting point, as you’ll want to consider whether this traffic (for both end-users and freelancers) is of a high enough quality. What’s more, you’ll also want to consider the charges a marketplace levies, as this could impact your income and\/or budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we’re going to look at five different Upwork alternatives, and note why they deserve to be on this list. The first entry is one that has been around the block a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    1. Fiverr<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Number one on the list (that’s in no particular order) is arguably the most well-known of all gig marketplaces. Fiverr plies its trade as the cheapest way to find expertise in almost any area you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You could consider it the Amazon of the gig economy, as Fiverr’s paraphrased unique selling point (USP) is essentially “cheap and plentiful talent, at practically no risk to the consumer”. It’s a company we cover in a number of places across the Themeisle blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
