Braintrust
If you have at least five years of experience, you can apply to join Braintrust. A tech cooperative that gives all accepted freelancers a piece of the network, Braintrust adds a 10% fee to client bills to pay network expenses. Freelancers get 100% of their rates. Learn more about Braintrust here.
FreeUp
Freelancers on the FreeUp marketplace joke that they’re screened like they’re going through airport security in a war zone. But if you get through this screening process, they rave that you find plenty of work and it’s well paid. Once through screening, you set up an account and view open projects from employers. If you want to take a project, you contact the client for a brief — 10 to 15 minute — chat, during which time the client decides whether or not to hire you. Learn more about FreeUp here.
