Freelance platforms are online marketplaces that connect freelancers with clients seeking specific services. These platforms allow individuals to offer their skills, such as writing, graphic design, or programming, while clients can post job listings and hire freelancers based on their expertise and rates. Popular examples of these platforms include Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer. Users typically create profiles showcasing their work experience and portfolios. The platforms facilitate communication, project management, and payment processing, making it easier for both freelancers and clients to collaborate. This system benefits freelancers by providing access to a global client base and helps clients find qualified professionals for their projects.
