What is Freelancer.com?
29. “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.”

30. “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.”

31. “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.”
