Reminder: If the gigs shared have posted rates, they must be above $100 per project, $25/per hour, or $0.10 per word. If you get offered less than that, please let me know. Also, gigs are vetted according to a variety of factors. For example, posters can’t ask for unpaid tests, pay for “exposure,” or have a public history of not paying freelancers. If you encounter problems of any sort from a company shared here, please let me know, and I’ll add them to my blacklist.
