Freelance Work

All listed above sites are platforms. They are middlemen. And I'm looking for sites that just provide information about the offers and list contact E-mails. Maybe a forum. I'm interested in direct contacts with clients without an intermediator.

Thank You in advance!

You haven't said what area of work you freelance in? I don't know of any website that just lists offers of work and contact emails - to be honest, there are so many scammers out there I don't think it would be practical from either side. If you want to offer your services directly to potential clients, your best bet is probably to create your own website and to identify possible clients and contact them directly.

I wondered why it's so much easier to be hired on Fiverr and Upwork than sites like Peopleperhour and Guru, despite the same people frequenting them all. I s'pose Peopleperhour look for the technical writer rather than the content writer for instance, maybe it's different for designers for example? I'm not sure why it's so hard to be a Guru though.
I think it's probably better to say you're an Upwork freelancer than an Fiverr freelancer, despite many freelancers charging more than $5.
