Freelancing or Job Boards?

[moonchild]

Freelancer is a person who offers a service on a hourly, weekly or monthly basis.

Most freelancers today faces a major problem which is lack of clients or saturation of freelancing platforms.

These platforms in of themselves are the bane of competition, many overqualified freelancers are flocking these platforms offering services for dirt cheap prices which gives rise to low wages and overflow of freelancers

Job boards on the hand are the opposite of these freelancing platforms, clients post jobs and specify the description and make it easier to apply.

And also it eradicates low ballers from the platform as clients have to pay before posting a Job.

For freelance writers the best job board out there is problogger. com/jobs.

And for web designers and web developers there are different Job boards for that, you might check online but here is wordpress main Job board.

If we contrast the two mediums for freelancers, it would be obvious that Job boards are more efficient for freelancers.
