The Monster List of Freelancing Job Sites
Update 2: In 2009 we updated this post. With the web changing every day, the best list of job sites changes all the time. Go and read The Monster List of Freelancing Job Sites 2009 Update.
Update: Have added 48 extra resources + New Non-English section, keep those suggestions coming! This post has been translated into Spanish by Alfonso at cultura, comunicación y diseño. Thanks Alfonso!
When it comes to freelancing, one of the biggest challenges can be finding work. Even the most successful of freelancers will experience a lean month here and there, so it pays to have as many sources of potential work as possible. That’s why we’ve compiled a monster list of job sites from around the net. There is sure to be a site in here that is listing a job tailor made for you!
Before we get to the list though I would like to mention that as FreelanceSwitch is fast becoming the destination of choice for freelancers we will be adding our own job board for listing freelance gigs. It’s arriving in a fortnight and for the first three months job listings will be totally free of charge to help get the board running.
As with all our lists if we’ve missed a crucial resource, please do send it in, or add it to the comments. We go through these lists every week or so and add in new resources to keep them up to date. Also you will find that we have tagged each site by the types of freelancers who will find it useful as well as the locations it may be applicable for. And now without further ado, here they are:

I publish true freelance writing and editing jobs on Monday, Wed. and Friday – those you can do from home or at the coffee shop. Sign up for newsletter (free) for notice at http://www.aboutfreelancewriting.com
Most of the jobs are hand aggregated, but some are sent to me directly.
Joblink is also posted at http://www.thegoldenpencil.com, my freelance writing blog.
thanks!
This list is amazing!! Thank you so much.
Holy smokes! I’m in the startup stage of freelancing, so believe me when I tell you: Thank you for this great resource!
Thanks for this list. I’d add Freelancermap. They use to be specialized in the German market, but they went international a while ago. It’s not the prettiest of apps, but I got several jobs through it and a constant stream of project offers.
Also, http://www.noagenciesplease.com is pretty cool
How about http://sologig.com? Huge resource, and much better than it used to be. Also, http://guru.com. Great list, though.
There’s also WithCake.com, a job board for people who develop with CakePHP.
(oh, and I run the site so this is just shameless self promotion.
)
great list!!! thanks for compiling it…cheers….
Great list! Thanks!
Great list, thanks for taking the time to make it, really appreciate it!
Very nice list. I’ve used most of the sites listed. Highly recommend GetAFreelancer for those starting out. FreshWebJobs is a great site as well.
Thanks for the additions,
@Tyler: Actually we’re in Australia, but I think just a lot of sites list American jobs, if you know some more European, foreign language or other international job listings, let us know!
http://www.xplace.com is a freelance site dedicated to outsourcing programming, web development, writing, design and marketing projects for the international community.
If possible, please add xplace.com to the list.
Thanks,
Allon
Thanks for the list, great resource.
I didn’t see http://programmermeetdesigner.com listed. I’ve been using it with some pretty decent success.
Thanks guys, just added:
ProgrammerMeetDesigner
XPlace (with its own international section!)
SoloGig
NoAgenciesPlease
Guru (actually that was in there somewhere already)
AboutFreelanceWriting
Keep those suggestions coming, and if anyone knows more nonEnglish job sites, send them in!
Great list! Here is one more targeting Swedish freelancers (frilans) http://www.frilansonline.se. With focus on webb and graphic designers.
Holy Guacamole Cyan!

Hi,
Thanks for the awesome list.

Thank you so much for this great list …
I am so happy when I read this posting…
excellent UK freelancers site : freelancers.net
designers and programmers, pitch for a project , or just show your portfolio
Thanks for this list mate
Hi, do you know other freelancing companies aside from Elance, odesk, Guru? elance is great but my account was suspended. Freelancing site that have at least $10 to $15 hourly rate offered? in odesk, guru is low thats i like to find other outsourcing site.
what about http://www.odesk.com/ ?>
I work freelance from oDesk and I found good project there. It is my first one, but it was in the area I searched for and I think this is the best site I tried for now, as a business model.
It doesn’t require any payments from providers and it charges only 10% of the bid accepted from the buyer, but only after the end of the project
How about Gumtree? Although it does not cater for US as far as I remember. But pretty much the rest of the world (including South Africa, Australia, Europe) can use it as a freelance platform. Gumtree is owned by Ebay….
wow great thanks for the list
hey guys you forgot the job board over at cgnews! job boards are becoming a increasingly better, faster and cheaper way to get your jobs out there…
http://www.cgnews.com/jobs
A good place to find jobs http://jobs.perl.com/
You forgot one: Eurofreelancer.com – Freelance web design and programming for the european market, denominated in Euro’s.
Thats a nice list.
I have come across a website for freelance creatives
http://www.openad.net
That’s an impressive list of sites, I help run a job board which features both freelance and full time positions.
http://jobboard.geekup.org/
More resources on
IT Tech Job Boards
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/03/08/ittech-job-boards/
Thanks guys, i’ll add these, also just got a whole bunch of CG ones from a Digg comment:
http://www.awn.com
http://www.CGnews.com
http://www.creativeheads.net/
http://cgchannel.com/job/
http://www.2-popforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=180
http://flay.com/jobs_category.cfm?CategoryID=23
http://www.vfxtalk.com
impressive list! Thank you so much!
Nice list! No jobs on our site but lots of resources guides and a forum for freelancers too:
http://www.freelanceuk.com
What, no JobServe? This is easily the BIGGEST used site for freelancers in the uk.
Hi,
I did not see http://www.Project4Hire.com listed in your list of Job Bidding Sites. It’s a good freelance job site.
Thanks Steve, I’ll get that in with the next update!
This is a very comprehensive list. For those thinking about thinking about freelancing… Good Job
Blog: http://www.tecnologianow.com
impressive list! Thank you so much!
Also need to mention the forum sites like forums.digitalpoint.com
Here’s a job aggregator: morpheed.com/jobs
This site seems to be appearing more in my job related web searches:
http://www.employmedirect.co.uk
Chinwag Jobs isn’t on the list. Mainly UK (though not restricted to), developers, general web, writing, marketing, illustrators, designers.
nice list..you forgot a new one: http://www.jobburner.com
http://www.companymeetcreative.com/www/ is launching, mainly aimed at the UK audience
This is a popular offshore outsourcing source for buyers and service providers around the world.
http://www.OffshoreXperts.com
Great list! I always use RAC so far.
Great list! And great site btw! I discovered this blog a few days ago, but I love it already! Thanks!
You my friend has one awesome website with equally amazing content
Kudos for all those lists .
Awesome list man!
Thank you for the mention. You’ve put together a great list.
You can also find jobs at:
http://www.employmentguide.com – Hourly Workers, Part Time
http://www.jobalot.com – Over 1 Million Jobs
http://www.careersingear.com – Just for Truck Drivers
http://www.healthcareerweb.com – Nurses find a job!
And soon profession-web.ch for freelance in switzerland !
Fantastic! I am kind of obsessed with job lists myself. I practically read them like I read reddit or digg.
Another great job board site is http://www.YoSumo.com/
Briliant collection of freelancing sites
Don’t forget about FreelanceQ. This site delivers jobs right to you sort of like GMail would deliver email. Check it out: Freelance Jobs
Hey,
You forgot to include AllDataJobs.com. The #1 site for Data Professionals. Jobs include:
Data Architecture, Data Modeling, Data Analysis, Data Integration, Business Intelligence, DBA, Database Administration, ETL, Metadata, Data Mining, Master Data Management jobs
Mac freelancers should check out this website:
http://www.macfreelancer.com/
Don’t forget OnForce.com, which is kind of like an “indie Geek Squad”. Anyone can become an independent “OnForce Provider” which makes them eligible to accept work orders that are posted by OnForce’s “Service Buyers”. OnForce is the middleman and takes a cut of each work order.
The most common types of assignments available are cabling jobs, break/fix repair and new computer set-up at residences and small businesses. However occassionally other work comes by … Cisco switch configuration assistance, web site maintenance, wireless network site survey, etc
It is a great way to get some income in-between gigs.
Hey I really like reading your posts, but you don’t have a technorati button… I was hoping you could join technorati so I (and others, I’m sure) could stay tuned! Thanks!
Hey Dan, we’ve added one now for you!
Another resource http://www.filtertalent.com.
In the Pacific Northwest we have Freelance-Seattle.Net. It’s a community where freelancers network (on the fs-Discuss mailing list) and get work (on the fs-Projects list).
http://freelance-seattle.net
Another couple worth adding and in a currently unrepresented field are ProZ (http://www.proz.com) and Translators Cafe (http://www.translatorscafe.com) for freelance translators. Both are comprehensive sites, not just job listings, but the job listings are a huge draw.
Hello again. I don’t know if I can ask here this.
I want to know if someone here as any work experience in sites like http://gofreelance.com
Is it really wort it?
Bloggers can make money by selling blog posts on http://www.blogpostsforsale.com
hi,
great list. Simply Hired is an aggregator, not a traditional board.
Keep a permanent profile / advert on http://www.myskillregister.com.au and find new leads for your next job!
Nice List!
well lots to update, we’ll add all these great resources to the list this week to keep it current.
Also just found another one myself for South Africans – http://www.freelanza.co.za/
Awesome list! I’ll definitely be checking them all out….well, almost all of them lol.
Hi Cyan,
I’m the founder and MD of a UK website for freelancers called people4business.com – and have also just launched a sister site called people4charity.com which specialises in providing freelancers for the not-for-profit sector.
I used to sell my services as an IT contractor and set up people4business because I thought there must be an easier way!
Basically, Buyers and Sellers of services register on the site for free. The Seller specifies the rate they want to receive – we uplift this by a flat margin of 10% and make their details available on our search engine at this price. Contracts take place through the site and we invoice the Buyer at the price they have seen and pay the Seller the price they have asked for. For our margin we provide the platform, marketing, customer service, contracts, timesheets, invoicing, credit control – and we guarantee to pay the Seller of services irrespective of whether or when we are paid by the Buyer.
We have been running for a year now and have 6,000 Sellers (freelancers) and 750 Buyers (businesses).
If you need any more info. I’d be very happy to supply it.
Kind regards
Duncan
So, um, is the list going to be updated any time soon? I notice the translation resources still aren’t up there. Granted, I appear to be the only freelance translator here, but still.
Yikes, sorry Geof – that would be my fault! I’ll get it updated first thing on Monday!
Actually I think there are a couple of freelance translators, someone else wrote to me about the same topic.
What languages do you translate between?
I used only rentacoder.com so far and that kept me QUITE busy. I don’t need to search for more work. Not yet at least!
Search my name on rentacoder and you’ll see how many projects I handle. Waaaay to many to search for more, but I checked out some of the websites from the list. Amazing, so many jobs out there.
Good job!
Can’t believe, this is still pulling visitors.
To any one with a job site or related topics!
Do not leave this one out!
Thumbs Up!
myskillregister.com.au
Hi guys,
We’ve now reviewed and added the sites that have been suggested in the comments. Thanks for letting us know about them! Sorry about the wait – there were quite a few of them
Ssshhh…stop telling everyone where the contracts are
Seriously though, thanks for the list. I knew about most of them, but there’s a couple there that I didn’t know about so hopefully something good will come of that. Cheers!
Okay, for a minute there I thought they left off eLance. This has got to be the most conclusive list I’ve ever seen though (aside from a straight up Google search). It’ll take me a while to wade through it and find the best ones. Can we get a tagging/voting system up in here so as to quickly rank all the links by quality?
Hey all – This is a response to Ana’s question from April 07. Personally, I use gofreelance for getting most of my jobs and have always received good rates. One of the benefits of paying $2.95 to join is that you establish a quality marketplace of clients and freelance service providers. I can’t say enough good things about it, so check it out – http://tinyurl.com/35r9vv
Another one to add to the list of online marketplace is also https://www.it-globalized.com
One of the questions that I’ve always thought about (and struggled myself as well) has been that how do buyers differentiate between all the different providers. The same question I came across on ResourcePad exchange here: http://www.resourcepad.com/blog/2007/07/12/what-are-the-qualities-of-a-good-service-provider-part-1/#comment-15
I hope some of you guys can answer it.
wow. nice work. looks like we all appreciate your time and effort
celieceaurea.com
I am freelancer from India.I have got many freelancing jobs from http://www.freelanceindia.com.This site is most popular in India.Your list is quite useful.I suggest you include http://www.freelanceindia.com also.It will prove to be a very useful.Thanks ,keep it up.
Hy Cyan,
I worked as freelancer years ago, when there weren’t as many resources as now. Then things got nasty in my home country (there was a big economic crisis in Argentina), I lost the contracts that I had on side of my day work. Finally I left my country. I’ve lived in New Zealand for the last 4 years.
After a couple of busy years as immigrant, I have a more stable situation. So, I decided to get some extra cash like I used to do in the old times. And, what a surprise!!! I found so many resources online! I still can’t believe it (can I?). It is hard to start though.
Thanks for your list. I love freelanceswitch. It is an excellent site!
Since I have experience in the South American and Kiwi (New Zealand) market, I have a few sites to add to your list:
Traditional job listings:
South American sites (Spanish) sites:
- http://www.bumeran.com: jobs from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela. Includes also an international section.
- http://www.laborum.com: jobs from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and other South American countries.
New Zealand sites:
http://jobs.search4.co.nz/
http://www.seek.co.nz/ (and it parent from the UK http://www.seek.co.uk/uk/)
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-me-jobs/index.htm
Job bidding sites:
I only can add from South America: http://www.trabajofreelance.com
I haven’t found a good bidding site in New Zealand. If anyone know any other bidding site in Spanish or from New Zealand I would appreciate if you added to the list.
I am too, myself trying to get some freelance job in new zealand and I thought it was really really difficult !
You were asking if anyone knew of a New Zealand based freelance website. There is a new one on the scene I have just found called Zealance.
http://zealance.co.nz
For those freelancers not looking to jump from project to project and instead want to find long-term clients for their services, look into http://www.freelancelocaltech.com .

Consultants compete locally, so no worrying about low-priced consultants on the other side of the world. Small businesses absolutely want to meet with their freelance consultants, and makes that easier. No middle-man: clients contact consultants directly, and if the client posts a need, registered consultants can contact the client directly.
Best of all: free free free! Free for consultants to post their services, free for clients to post their needs, free for consultants and clients to contact each other. Check it out at http://www.freelancelocaltech.com

A UK based job aggregator covering tech jobs with a new US site to launch soon:
http://www.wisescout.com
Thanks for the list! Will check it out.
I’d suggest you guys add this line, found on Traditional #27, to Traditional #1 (this website’s freelance board) for the sake of accuracy:
“(Warning: this site appears to require a PAID registration)”
Of course, it would be even better if you guys went the Craigslist rout and didn’t charge freelancers for finding work. Typically, job posters are the ones who get charged.
Thanks for those list, very very helpful

Excellent resource of Freelance jobs
Thank you so much for this great list …
I am so happy when I read this posting…
Here are two sites to add to your monster freelancing list that are directed at the legal profession:
http://www.naflp.org (National Association of Freelance Legal Professionals) (this association provides education and support to freelance lawyers, paralegals, interpreters, and others who provide services to law firms)
http://www.freelancelaw.com/default.php (FreelanceLaw is an online, searchable database for law firms to find freelance legal professionals)
Another site to add to the next update is Careerjet (www.careerjet.co.uk, or http://www.careerjet.com, or http://www.careerjet.com.au, etc.), a global job search engine that aggregates listings from the entire web, in over 50 countries and 20 languages. Just type in “freelance” and choose your location.
The list is really very big!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting
Great list, thanks!
I have come across this one here http://www.osyld.com “Outsource Your Logo Design”. This site is specificaly for freelancers productive in the logo design field and good start point for buyers looking for any kind of logo designed.
Beware of freelancerstore.com – they are very shady. Though they are free now, they took a lot of money that people had in their accounts and did not give it back. They also owe programmers.
This is really a HUGE list.
Great list! I have actually used a few of these to help with our wedding photography web site.
I noticed this site Freelanceglobal.com was already listed here and described as abandoned. But looks come to life again. Its a nice site, liked very much their design and seems one of the few sites available in different languages. Article says it will be available in French, Russian and Chinese soon.
Viky
By the way one of the main advantages of freelanceglobal.com it is they said is completelly free to buyers and sellers forever. I used to work with GAF, Scriptlancer and Elance and have a free option is a really good option.
Cheers
Viky
Can you add http://www.freelancerjobs.net to your list?

sasidesign – Adobe Photosop Tutorial
Great list of sites. I maintain a blog, Green Gigs, that lists “green” telecommuting/freelance jobs.
http://greengigs.blogspot.com/
I love the list. I wanted to add another website to the list, it mainly deals with side jobs. I hope you guys enjoy.
http://SideJobList.com/
that’s really a hugeeeeeeeeeeee list of freelancers.
And we need reliable and quality virtual employees.
BUT BUT BUT………my personal view is very different.
i wanted to hire virtual employees for web designing and SEO. Actually i am looking for whole virtual team. Because now it’s become very expensive for our organization to recruit employees
We were prepared to post our requisite on freelancers’ site. But we have observed that it’s very time as well as money consuming process. And also I heard that “The bigger problem on Elance, in my experience, is dummy projects. Some buyers post projects simply to get an idea of the cost or to try to find free work” So, what next?
Our team comes out with conclusion to directly contact companies who are providing virtual employee services. But the question is “RELIABILITY and Hiring charges”.
We have got replies from some forums and communities. So, now we have one option company marketraise corp. it’s nice.
But we want best service provider with better package.
Thanks in advance
Sophia
>The bigger problem on Elance, in my experience, is dummy projects. Some buyers post projects simply to get an idea of the cost or to try to find free work” So, what next?
There are no so many, and it is not confined to Elance. Bidders should always look at the track record of the job poster before committing a lot of time to researching and preparing their bid.
Thanks for the list. Great job!
Awesome post thanks, im looking at the UK ones now.
Thanks – Nathan – http://www.xboxgamesfree.com
Great list. Definitely bookmark worthy.
Omigod! It’s really a monster list! I feel like Sesame Street’s cookie monster already! haha THANKS!!!
I’ll add here another place to get freelance job (there are initial tests and time-tracking/desktop-capturing software to download) – Odesk.com Have not used this extensively yet but it looks good.
And here is one of the free online tools that freelancers may wanna use for collaboration work. Toggl.com – a free online timetracker helps you track your time anywhere online, and to create team projects. (An idea for your next entry may be?)
I can’t wait what you will come out with next!!
Very good list there.. here’s another for the Australians – http://www.jobs.com.au
You can check out http://www.savvylance.com, get freelance projects/jobs, it is cool marketplace, and payment payout option escrow or locan cheques.
Thanks for publishing this list. I am active on GAF, SL and others. Kindly also consider the website in my comment. It’s a Magento specific freelancing website
There is a pretty nice platform called http://www.jobloha.com (seems to be new)
Excellent article.
http://JobShuk.com
Israeli bidding site, but for English-speakers
http://www.lancerglobal.com
LancerGlobal connects your business with professionals
If you require professional programming or website design for your business, whether its a long-term job or just a single project, you will find the help you need here at the prices you want to pay. No matter how big or small your budget is, freelancers from around the world will compete for your business at LancerGlobal.
Step 1: Post a project (FREE).
Step 2: Receive bids by interested freelancers.
Step 3: Choose a bid.
That’s it! Your project is then closed, your are put in contact with the chosen freelancer who will begin working, you can leave a review, and pay them when you are ready to pay them. Our fee: only $4, which is deducted from your LancerGlobal account only after your project closes. We even give you 30 days time to pay that fee! Why? Because we are confident you will be satisfied with the service LancerGlobal provides.
It’s like getting an estimate from dozens of qualified professionals and then choosing the one you like most. You save time because you don’t need to shop around, and you save money because programmers are competing for your business! LancerGlobal is the number one choice for thousands of freelancers and businesses when it comes to programming and design projects.
Why is LancerGlobal better? Some other freelance project sites similiar to LancerGlobal may charge you (the buyer) no fee at all. This may sound like a better deal, but they charge the freelancer a much higher fee than LancerGlobal, 12%-15%, sometimes more! We only charge freelancers 4%. That means that, in the end, you will save more on LancerGlobal because the freelancers won’t be forced to charge you ridiculously high rates to cover those fees. Next time you are considering a LancerGlobal alternative, make sure to find out what fee they charge their freelancers.
Wow… this is amazing ! So many options… lol I wonder how many of them are tight-bidding-war free
This is a very good site. Freelancing Projects which lists all the freelancing projects in one location.
Revised to add in the websites below
This is an excellent site – I recently been downsized – finding work have been hard – so I decided to start start my own business – the only income for my family – and definitely would like to work from home now. I thought doing becoming a independent contractor would be a great place to start.
http://www.msxvipconcierge.com http://www.greatlivinggreen.com
So do me a favor – put the word out about my website and hopefully I can land that one job that could help support me and my family.
Thanks chat
Hello, Nice to find this page and get to know more information about the list of work! Thanks all!
Hi,
I think you should add another freelance website: http://www.coderlobby.com
Thanks!
Hey man-
Any chance you might have missed these two?
http://www.freak-lance.com (Graphic and Web Design Projects Only)
http://www.thesuperlancers.com (All project types)
Thanks,
-L
Wow, just saw this link on Twitter and thought I would have a look. It was only last week that I created a similar post on my blog for bidding websites. Am going to bookmark this so I can look through all the other sites you have mentioned.
Great resource.
Ciao, I suggest also an italian website http://www.cercalavoro.it
solid list. i’ve used a couple of popular ones when i outsourced work to a team in India and well that went shitty, but the sites did offer great paying customers. now…. just to get the right team together again.
I AM A RETIRED PERSON FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. MY BACKGROUND IS STENOGRAPHY. I HAVE SERVED MOSTLY SENIOR IAS OFFICERS AND HAVE EXPERIENCE OF ABOUT 40 YEARS. MOSTLY, MY WORK HAS BEEN RELATED TO MS WORD AND HAVE A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF ITS COMMANDS. HAVE RICH KNOWLEDGE OF GRAMMAR. I AM INTERESTED IN DOING JOB WORK AS A FREELANCE.
I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.
RS GARG
Hello,
On your next update, can you please add this recent startup of United States Freelancers. The site started in ’08 and was originally for United States Freelancers only. Now, the site offers freelance posting and bidding to all international buyers and bidders alike.
- Thank you.
Liam
United States Freelancers
I have found another helpful upcoming Job Portal………………..http://www.jobsbridge.com/
odesk, guru and elance are very good sites for freelance programmers like j2ee, .net, etc.
odesk guarantees payment for hourly projects.
fantastic list! thanks
A very extensive list. Must say GAF usually has projects that offer real low rates, Elance is much better. Others I am not so sure yet but most of these sites I have never seen before so I will take some time to go through them.
thanks for the info
Thank you for that list. Im just working on one job site so its very inspirational!
Thank you for the spent time. Very useful information
Great list, but I wonder why http://www.odesk.com is not included in the list?
I think that VOIS.com should be on this list. Not just some shameless plug!
2. WebProJobs.com is down – it’s domain has expired.
All we need now is a big green ‘join/submit to all’ button and we are away!!
This is going to take a while to get through them all to see areas/regions covered but its a fantastic resource – will be on my digg and delicious in a few mins…
cheers,
Gordon
Don’t forget:
http://www.DesignBay.com
and
http://www.odesk.com
And don’t forget about the job and project boards on Blellow!
Jobs: http://www.blellow.com/jobs
Projects: http://www.blellow.com/projects
From my experience http://www.rentacoder.com is the best site ever, they are very serious, there is a lot of jobs from easy 30$ to big 500 000$ projects, you can get a job very easily because there is few competition there about 7-8 bidder by project, and most of them don’t know what is harddrive, in one year i get about 3000 $ and i sent them via westernunion to any place in the world, you can also use this money to do other projects that you like without sending them, i use money to post projects on the same website to buy 3 domain names.and to create my own website. on the other way rentacoder is different from other websites because bidders messages are hidden, so othere bidders can’t see your bid and give lower price then yours, also if a a buyer didn’t like your job, he can’t refuse to pay , because you do the work, but the quality of work is not a reason to refuse payement.
Freelance Job List http://freelancejoblist.com is my one-stop site for freelance web work. It aggregates freelance jobs from other sites and organizes them into categories.
Wahhh! This is incredible. Thank you so much!
Great list! Thanks for posting it!
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but it appears the link to the FSw job boards is broken. It takes you to “freelanceswitch.com/jobs” instead of “jobs.freelanceswitch.com”
This is a great list…just one issue…the link to your very website is broken. It should be fixed to: jobs.freelanceswitch.com instead of freelanceswitch.com/jobs. The latter is bringing up a 404 error page.
This is a nice list ….. thanx…
All this while i have been targeting my clients thru html mailers……. but you get some really good clients thru emailers……
thnx
http://www.affablejob.com
http://www.affablejob.com provides job opportunities for Web Technology and New Media professionals, at start ups and tech firms all over the world.
please add http://www.affablejob.com to the list.
Hey Steve,
Pleased to check up Jobsbridge. It seems to be a unique one.
Thanks buddy,
Victor
Wow great list !! Really i like it. but most of the time i use Digitalpoint .
Thank you for this very comprehensive list of sites. No. 33 is a dead link, though.
Another site to keep an eye on is Voolkan (at http://www.voolkan.com of course). It’s pretty new, I think, but seems simple, and has an interesting “job matching” feature once you apply to a few jobs through the site. And it’s free, so why not!
Wow, thats huge list. I always used to visit only oDesk, Elance and Guru. Now, I can take more jobs. Thanks
The first link, for the FreelanceSwitch Job Board, is broken. I believe it’s the old URL.
I currently use http://www.setuuubal.com for php jobs
You should not have included scriptlance as it is a third rate site and is out to cheat service providers. They deny payment withdrawals for no reason and take days to reply to messages. any one thinking of joining scriptlance.com as a Service Provider – BEWARE – you will soon be in trouble and lose your money.
Great work on the list, there is plenty of great sites out there although we offer a great deal more than programming, web design and seo. We have also made some big changes recently and are in the process of incorporating more.
Regards.
This is an awesome list! You should get an award for helping out the tech community!!!!
Thanks,
TheDamonic.com
WOW! What a nice list !
I just found a site with job matching ( Google Map). It do match and notify the job seeker and the employer, but looks like a new site : http://www.matchimedia.com
love the design anyway.
OMG!
this site is really a HELP!!
super thanks!!!
Forgot to add a new spanish site http://www.beevop.com , in this web, you can post projects and make budgets. And is free.
Bye and thanks.
You may like to add http://ezdia.com to the list.
Thank you for the listing.
I need to update my list http://arjudba.blogspot.com/2009/08/list-of-freelancing-job-sites.html as well.
XPlace.com is a popular freelance site focusing on websites, programming, tech, graphic design, writing, and translation in the US and Israeli markets.
This is Great listing thank you.
You should add http://www.donanza.com which is a freelance job search engine with deep filtering mechanism.
DoNanza has also a white labeling program which enables publishers to integrate the freelance projects search functionality in their web site under their brand,
here is one example http://jobs.socialmedia.biz/
Im also wondering why odesk is not in the list. So far in my experience, getafreelancer, odesk and scriptlance are the best. The problem with elance they charge a lot not advisable for new freelancer.
Please consider including PlanetForHIre.com in your list of freelancing websites. It’s free to Employers and Job Seekers, extremely reasonable for freelancers and has a mission to help people globally get to work. The search engine was custom designed to filter out duplicate posts and get people globally connected faster and easier.
PlanetForHire.com
The list is amazing. Keep up the good work. Thanks
I set up a new freelance job board for italian freelancers… check it up, modern graphics, no registration needed to post and apply for jobs. Ciao!
I am currently looking to develop some WordPress Plugins that are pretty involved and are a bit above my abilities at the moment. Any ideas on where to find the best developers for them?
Any help is appreciated.

Just a heads up!
Nice job. great huge sites are hereeeee.Thnx a lot
You should add http://www.thesuperlancers.com

Came across a new freelancer site. http://www.findfreelancework.com
you definitely make my day…gr8 work dude..
Great list! Add Freelancers Oasis to that list of wonderful resources. You can check out one of their blog post that shows how to attract more clients:
http://freelancersoasis-blog.com/2009/11/top-3-ways-to-attract-more-clients/
LingoTip is a site where translators can find freelance translation jobs. Can you please add http://www.lingotip.com to your list? Thanks.
http://www.gft.com/jobs is also useful.
I just found this amazing site! Thank you for providing this resource. Please consider including http://www.BeMyWriter.com in your list. It is a free, easy to use freelance job board that has been in operation for just under a year. Thanks again — great work!
Hi there,
Here is the useful website to search jobs/vacancies: All jobs on one website: http://www.job-less.info
Find the right job for you with job-less.info
I think hideveloper.com team is doing great job they have nice concept
Please add http://www.junglebid.com to your extensive list.
Thank you
Great list. I’ve been using http://www.mymuto.com for the past months and love it.
Wow! This is indeed a huge list. However, most of them rely on PayPal to withdraw funds. Can anyone please direct me to any sites from which I might withdraw my money from an e-Gold.com account? Is PayPal a reliable financial intermediation agency for online freelancers? I trust e-Gold.com much more than PayPal.
Perhaps, a comparative chart could be elaborated to explain the money affairs instead of a linear list.
Thanks beforehand for your advice.
Hi Celine,
Well Im a designer on designcrowd.com and Ive requested that they move to multiple payment options. They have told me that they have been hard at work implementing this of late so it looks like we will likely get this in the next couple of weeks. In terms of work on it, its loaded with jobs all the time.
Rgrds,
Pete
This is a motivational site. I am too much inspired as a freelancer. I shall refer it to my community
http://www.freelancejoblist.com is worth a look — lots of jobs aggregated from 100s of sites with a customized alert function
The problem with these sites is the way they are devaluing the professions in the West. A fully qualified professional will find it difficult to compete with a guy working in his room, somewhere in India, and who only needs a few dollars to keep him going.
The real offenders are the buyers, they are mostly looking for the cheapest guy, rather than the quality of the work.
But, hey, if someone offers you a BMW for the price of a Lada, you will find it an attractive offer. However, if you saw a BMW advertised like this in your local paper, would you suspect there is something wrong with it? well a lot of people don’t that’s why they keep putting adverts for BMWs that are a write-off, there are people who are happy to buy them.
I am working with GetAFreelancer. But I was in search of some more freelance sites to get some more work. I got your site from a google search. But while clicking the link in google search page I never imagined for treasure of freelance sites.
Nice piece of work.
Thanks & Regards
Susanta
http://www.lancemonster.com. It’s a new freelance site, not a lot of job yet but very user friendly. It doesn’t cost anything to post a project. I posted one and had seveal bids the next day, chose a bidder and had my work done in less than 3 days. I recommend checking them out if you want good work for little money.

Great list. I am a young freelance writer and I just did not know where to began. this gave me a good place to start. I’m really excited. Hopefully this will help me pay for my college degree without ending up with a whole lot of dept.
Oh and I have a great link for you to add to this page: http://writingformoney.yolasite.com/
It’s a site i found a little while ago that is made by successful writers aimed to help beginning writers. It’s a really really good resource and has a wealth of information.
Great List, thanks.
Wow, this list is gonna take me ages to get through. Useful though.
Onforce is for on-site information technology service jobs in the United States and Canada, not “everywhere”. They are planning to expand into Europe, however.
Really very useful list. Good work.
Thanks for sharing.
Very informative and useful blog for job holders.
I put together a site with info on how to get various kinds of jobs at http://www.howtogetajobas.com Freelance jobs are part of the list as well.
@Brendan Hughs
Brilliant implementation of Facebook and Linked connectivity at your freelance site. Clean look and great job. Your site is an inspiration to a lot of us. I wish you luck in getting included in the next monster list of freelance sites.

I have no experience of doing any job, as I’m handicap, cant go for job anywhere.
But i want to do job from home.
I want to do freelancing job, but i don’t know for that matter what other qualifications i need…
Can anyone help me out in this matter?
Expecting some useful and helpful comments
a couple of good writing sites that I know of are odesk.com, pph.com (people per hour) and elance.com. however, I got paid £70 for a job and PPH took 15%, i ended up with just £55. so try and get your employer to pay direct to your paypal/moneybookers etc. ‘Odesk’ charge the employer and not the freelancer, ‘elance’ charge 8.75% (these charges are for those with just the basic accnt) from a $90, i ended up with $82.
Another great freelance site that I have gotten work from is http://www.postsandbids.com
It is a useful information. There are millions of well qualified but unemployed people around the world and at the same time there are also an impressive number of employers who don’t have just required hands for their projects. And, due to lack of information, this state of affair goes on continuously. Hope, people would be benefited by the post.
I’ve found the list to be very informative. Due to lack of information, most of the freelancers and project owners cannot get their jobs done. I think, the list would be much help in this regard.
There is a new site called vected.com. It offers unlimited job posting and low rates. Since it’s a starting site, competition is not terrible yet. I’ve had great luck with getting work from them. Hope this helps!
This a great list.. will take hours to pour through. Thank you for putting it together.

I had a significantly bad experience at oDesk, and I think there was a point made by whoever prepared this list of freelancing job sites not to include oDesk in the list. They claim guaranteed payment for the freelancer, but when it comes to actual application on the ground they are mostly biased towards the employer, after all he is the person who pays money from his pocket. I stopped working at oDesk, also the types of jobs posted there are questionable because there are some jobs that implies copyrights and intellectual property infringe for example. I didn’t try many other sites, but this is my experience at that one.
You have the most comprehensive list of legitimate sites that I’ve ever read online.
I also had a bad experience at oDesk. They have closed my account without my request or my permission to do so, although I ought them payment for a closed contract, and until now they neither returned my account, nor paid me the outstanding payment. I had the worst ever experience in dealing with customer support: ignorance and lack of respect or support. I had to file complaints against them at the responsible authorities in the US. Despite I thought oDesk is well organized and streamlined, they have proved to be extremely unreliable and not trust worthy.
Great list.Thanks for sharing.
thank u so much for this great list
Really nice list of freelance jobsites.
Thanks.

http://www.hiretheworld.com is getting to be a pretty good place to be a freelancer.
Certainly a good list, though somewhat outdated. By the time an update?
I think odesk platform is very good for employers and employees. You can coperate with other developers very easy and you can track your job very efficiently.
Really nice list of freelance jobsites.
Thanks.
in my continuing search for alternative income, this is a goldmine. really good stuff!
I earned some quick bucks by searching projects from http://www.geekfreelancers.com
Freelanza is no longer freelanaza.co.za, it seems to have changed to a .com domain

I like your list very much – amazing – would like update! I am retired legal secretary/paralegal – would love to work out of home, but not sure how to start or how to go about it. Help anyone? Thank you

For Employers, If you want to pay the Service Provider directly, and don’t want to the pay to middle men, I’d suggest using http://www.linkmysource.com.
For Providers, linkmysource.com is offering their Silver subscription plan free for life at this time.
Hi,
Would you be so kind to add http://www.freelancersoutpost.com to the list?
Thanks,
I have been using oDesk for nearly a year but SPAMMED jobs made me to search new freelance sites. This List is good one and I will surely going to take flight to Elance and Freelancer.com.
Hey just thought you would like to know you have,
FreelanceBBS listed twice and WebProJobs doesn’t seem to be working anymore.
This is an awesome list of freelance web site. For the first time I was able to do a good comparison study. Thanks for sharing this.
Freelancers will not really tell you guys what are the best freelancer web sites out there to get work.
I am a freelance translator and know exactly what are the best sites to get high paying jobs and medium to low paying jobs as well, but I will not share them ever with anyone.
If smart and experienced freelancers started to share their intel about it, that would mean more competitors, so it would mean less money earned on the short, medium and long run – especially on the long run.
In any case, it would make their living a lot harder in order to get new freelance jobs on those sites I DID NOT MENTION ABOVE.
You can research about it on-line but you will need a lot of work and a lot of registering in many sites to get to know that intel.
Although this list has many sites, most of them are garbage according to my experience of more than 5 years as a freelancer.
Anyway, I do give you an advice:
Specialize yourself in something specific, then search for it in on-line freelance web sites, because ultimately, you will find them, sooner or later!
I think you should add http://www.peopleperhour.com/ to the list of job bidding sites!!! I’ve used it and found it really great!
Wow, very useful list. I will be referring to this post very often. Thanks!
Hi,
You really did excellent work for all freelancers by giving this site list but all freelancers can earn extra income by Google, infolinke and etc ads. By the way do you know about Odesk? It’s really excellent site for all freelancer. Again thanks for your awesome list. Keep it up
You got a great list of freelancing job sites. You should checked out http://www.staff.com too it’s another great alternative site for work-from-home jobs.
WOW!! this is excellent stuff. Must have taken a lot time and hard work in compiling. I am gonna share it with others.
