I sell work on upwork that I outsource to other upwork workers. Consulting at its finest. 🙃

Upwork
Honestly kind of hit or miss, at this point it pays for groceries each week with about ~20 hours of work on there per month.

I’ve had great success getting new clients with Thumbtack. However they charge these upfront weed fees for customers and the fees are starting to get out of hand and I’m beginning to question the viability of continuing to list my services on Thumbtack because the fees or just outrageous for a new leads. But on the positive side one thing it does at least in my experience versus fiver or at work Is bring you in contact with a much larger pull up prospective clients
Lead* fees. Not weed. Sorry.

I’ve tried Fiverr and literally got zero gigs. Competition is fierce. I drive Uber Eats sometimes and I’ve made up to $41 an hour. Usually around $25 an hour.
Used to do upwork. Now I hire folks on fiverr and upwork for my side gig. From what I can tell, competition has increased and they favour the buyers more.
I’m curious as to what you mean by you “hire folks on fiverr and upwork for my side gig.” Im just really confused. Do you just get clients, offer them certain services, then pay someone else to do the work, then charge your client a fee that’s X% higher than whatever the freelancer charges you? If that’s the case isn’t that a little sleazy and unethical? You up charge clients for the the same work that they’d get at cheaper cost with out you involved because you have to make a cut and then you literally do nothing at all. You’re nothing but a needless middleman. And an incredibly dishonest one at that if your passing the work off as your own. #shame.
Hey,
I'm doing tasks on Fiverr and upwork. Kinda missing deadlines due to office work in day time.
My main issue is with time management..has anyone been through these situations?
I overwork sometimes and end up exhausted later you know.
I seriously want to be freelancer fulltime. But need suggestions on time management if you all faced same issue.
I feel like you’ve answered your own question to be honest. If you want to freelance full-time then freelance full-time which means quitting your day job especially if it’s making you late on projects for freelance clients. Missing deadlines is always very unprofessional and you wouldn’t want to start off your freelance operations with bad reviews on Fiverr or app work or whatever because you’re not getting peoples work done on time or by when you say you’re going to have it done. It’s pretty clear that it’s difficult for you to balance your freelance obligations with your current job and if you’re committed to doing freelance full-time then the obvious answer would be to quit
your day job. You just have to have the balls to do it? But anyway I hope you do decide to quit your day drive because if you succeed with the freelance stuff you have no idea how liberating it is to be your own boss and I wish you all the success in the world good luck!
