Bidding for freelance work at scale
Freelancer.com runs on bids, and the volume is the point: there is always work posted, at every level of budget and quality. Contests let a designer submit speculative work and get paid only if it wins. Rates run low and the bid allowance on the free account runs out fast, which is what the membership tiers sell back to you.
A remote job board with a results guarantee
Remotive posts remote roles to a job board, a daily email and a large following, and guarantees two hundred clicks on the apply button or it runs the listing again for free. Postings are managed from an emailed link rather than an account, which removes the usual password. It is priced per job rather than per month, so a creator hiring one editor pays once.
Our note
The apply-click guarantee is what separates this from the free boards, and it is a promise about traffic rather than about quality. Write the description before pricing the post, because reach only helps a listing people want to answer.
