Category: Freelancing

Freelancing is the first topic that I started writing about. And helped other freelancers by sharing my practical experience with them.

Before I started this blog, I have been working on freelancing websites. There are lots of good & bad memories I have during the 5 years of the long path.

This is why I decided to lay out all the necessary experiences with you that may help to avoid the mistakes that I made. Also, it will help you to make the right decision at the right moment.

Some of the posts are very long-form articles. But it’s worth reading.

If you’re a freelancer and want to become proactive, read this freelancing archive.

Why is Fiverr so cheap?

Why is Fiverr so cheap

There is no doubt that Fiverr is one of the cheap freelancing websites among others. The name of Fiverr consists of the number “5” (five).

Many of the gigs/services are offered only for $5 as the base price or basic package.
