“Freelancer.com totally changed my life. I am earning so much more here compared to regular work. My expenses were also reduced and I don’t have to wake up too early or deal with a difficult boss.

When I had my first contract here, I could not believe it. It was a townhouse project. I was so happy then because it was the first time I received a project and have been paid on the site. After that, everything just came one after the other. Sometimes, I don't even bid—they just offer the contract and all I need to do is to accept it. I also have regular online clients here. Most of them come from Australia, USA, and Canada. I love to work with them because they are very appreciative.”

“Freelancer.com is excellent in all ways—from job search to bid placement, from project awarding to payment and commission collection, and even to action on complaints.

About 90% of the total amount I spent on home renovation came from freelancing. I was also able to take his family on vacation to Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, and other local destinations.”

“Freelancer.com is a blessing—it helps individuals like me find jobs. It also gives you hope, that even if you’re jobless but have the skills, you can earn while at home. It gives you freedom and you earn more than the salary of a casual employee.

I want to share my blessing. I hire my neighbors for the simple projects I get. I inform them how freelancing works, too.”
