0:07
like Fiverr to get your next freelance gig. Here we go! Hey again, it's Josh here with Millo.co where freelancers come to level up their business

Today we're talking all about sites like Fiverr. But before we share the list
0:29
take a second and subscribe to this channel for more freelancing tips every week
0:33
And remember to leave a comment telling us what we should cover next on the channel
0:37
And if we pick your idea, we'll enter you to win $1,000 that you can invest back into
0:43
your freelance business. Alright, sites like Fiverr. The truth is, Fiverr is a standout platform
0:49
that operates unlike almost any other platform of the same size. What's the big difference between
0:55
Fiverr and other freelance platforms? It's primarily that freelancers can post their
1:00
own gigs for sale as opposed to responding to client requests. But even so, putting all your
1:06
faith in a single platform, no matter how great it is, can be a dangerous strategy for your freelance
1:11
business. So here are 8 Fiverr alternatives that you can explore to get more clients
1:16
First on the list is Upwork. Like Fiverr, Upwork is one of the biggest freelance
1:21
marketplaces in the world. They've got nearly 150,000 core clients actively using the site
1:27
to hire freelancers, and together they spend over $2.5 billion per year. Needless to say
1:34
there are lots of opportunities to grow your freelance career through Upwork
1:38
If Upwork seems like a good idea to you, have a look at the video we published called
1:42
How to Get Jobs on Upwork in 7 Days. We'll be sure to link it on screen now and in the description
1:47
below. Another Fiverr alternative is a site called Solid Gigs. Unlike Fiverr or Upwork
1:53
which are marketplaces, Solid Gigs is a lead generation tool for freelancers. You just sign
1:59
up, tell the Solid Gigs team of gig hunters what kinds of freelance leads you want, and within a
2:04
couple of days, they start sending you high quality, hand-picked freelance jobs from around
2:09
the internet. You're not locked into a platform, and they don't take a percentage of your client's
2:14
payments. So if you want to get freelance leads on autopilot, Solid Gigs could be a great option
2:19
for you. Next up is Freelancer.com. Like Fiverr or Upwork, Freelancer.com is host to millions of
2:26
users, both clients and freelancers. That means that every day, Freelancer.com connects freelancers
2:33
with clients who need work done. You can even review the kinds of jobs available without
2:37
signing up. Just visit Freelancer.com forward slash jobs. We'll also include links to all of
2:42
these sites in the description below. Hey, really quick, if you're enjoying this video, please take a
2:47
minute just to subscribe and give us a thumbs up. We're working really hard to publish high-quality
2:52
freelancing videos each week, and your support through a like or subscribe really does help us a
2:58
lot. And this video is supported by our friends at Hectic. We've been coaching freelancers for over
3:04
a decade, so we've seen dozens of freelancing tools come and go, but Hectic is undoubtedly
3:10
our favourite so far. It's a full suite of tools for freelancers that makes it easy to run your
3:15
entire freelance business from one place. They help with proposals, contracts, invoicing, project
3:21
management, client management, and a ton more. And the best part is Hectic is completely free to use
3:28
With their free forever plan, you can use some of the best tools on the market to start, run, and grow
3:34
your freelance business. Then, if you need premium features later on, Hectic is one of the most
3:39
affordable choices out there. Visit milo.co forward slash Hectic, or visit the link in our
3:45
description to sign up 100% free. Thanks to Hectic for supporting Milo and freelancers everywhere
3:51
Okay, back to more sites like Fiverr. Let's talk about FreeUp. As a freelancer, getting freelance
3:58
jobs through FreeUp is a bit more complicated. That's because FreeUp reviews each new freelancer's
4:03
application when joining, and only allows a certain percentage to actually do work on the platform
4:09
While that can be frustrating, the upside is good for freelancers who do get accepted. Because
4:14
they monitor the quality of work done on the platform and allow only highly qualified freelancers
4:19
in, they also attract high-paying clients looking for long-term freelance relationships. The same
4:24
goes for our next Fiverr alternative, TopTal. TopTal started as a site to connect clients with
4:31
freelance developers, but it has quickly become a high-quality freelance marketplace for freelancers
4:36
in almost any field. Because of their big-name clients such as Shopify or Duolingo, TopTal's
4:42
freelancer application is much more rigorous, and approves only around 1-3% of those who attempt to
4:48
join. Another site to consider when exploring Fiverr alternatives is called People Per Hour
4:54
Similar to Fiverr, People Per Hour offers a streamlined service connecting freelancers to
4:59
clients all over the world. You have to go through their application process and be accepted by their
5:04
moderators to use the site. But once you're approved, you can search and apply to hourly
5:10
and project-based jobs, or be automatically matched to opportunities based on your profile skills
5:16
Another site like Fiverr you may not have heard of is called Crackerjack. Unlike Fiverr, Crackerjack
5:22
focuses on connecting clients with local freelance talent in cities across the US. Of course, that
5:28
means it's best for freelancers living in the United States, but we hope Crackerjack will expand
5:32
globally soon. Last on the list of Fiverr alternatives is TrueLancer. With TrueLancer
5:38
you can find hundreds of freelancing jobs in various categories, including programming
5:43
design, content translation, administration, finance, accounting, digital marketing, SEO, and many more. TrueLancer allows you to access those job opportunities to find a suitable job
5:55
that matches your skills and specialization. And that's it! Our 8 favorite sites like Fiverr for
6:01
freelancers like you who want to build up their client base. Leave us a comment on this video
6:06
telling us which sites we've left out or which ones you're going to try first. And remember
6:11
if you leave a comment telling us what we should cover next on the channel and we pick your idea
6:17
we'll enter you to win $1000. For now, I'm Josh with Millo.co
