  • Where we can sell our skills?

Most common and trusted marketplaces where you can sell you services are:

  • freelancer.com
  • fiverr.com
  • upwork.com
  • firstfreelance.com
  • peopleperhour.com
  • guru.com

I am adding good news for Pakistani freelancers that, Rozgar Pakistan is Pakistan’s first freelance market place that connects clients from all over the world with Pakistani talent. Rozgar Pakistan has been launch by a proud Pakistani Mr. Hasham Sarwar.

  1. How we can sell our skills?

There are two types of freelancing i.e. Traditional freelancing and non-traditional freelancing.

Examples of traditional freelancing are;

  • freelancer.com
  • upwork.com
  • firstfreelance.com
  • peopleperhour.com
  • guru.com

and examples of the non-traditional market place is

  • fiverr.com

In the Traditional marketplace, people post jobs (Projects) what they want, and freelancers submit a quote and try to get hired. While in non-traditional marketplace freelancers built their profile on the bases of their experience and skills and buyers select freelancers for their projects.
