Freelance Directory - Certified Freelance

A lot of the list you will find from many sites are outdated. So if you're just starting out as a work a home mom or dad, let me save you from the hassle of clicking through dead links or parked domains. You are in the best place where you can find a comprehensive list of freelance sites where you can bid on projects and submit your proposals. I will be updating them on a regular basis and if there's something missing that you would like me to add, just drop them on the comments box and i'll have them added.

Remember, some of the sites are new to me as well and some of them, I can personally vouch. Make sure to take the necessary precaution to ensure you don't get scammed. The list is a mix of free and paid sites and whether which one is better than the other, is again, relative and therefore, I cannot conclusively say which one is better than the other. I'll try to get some of them reviewed to get a better glimpse of how they work, the pros and cons and all other stuff you'll find useful in choosing which site to choose from.

Also, for transparency purposes, some of the sites in the list are contain affiliate links, which means, if you sign up, I can earn some referral incentives.
