Techvenge:
The most important thing you need for freelancing is a skill you will offer to your clients.

The second thing is the platform where you will get these clients.

But...

The sea of the internet is vast and turbulent, with millions of freelancing platforms drifting along its currents.

For anyone embarking on this journey, charting a course can be daunting. But there are two common platforms, among others.

The question now: Upwork or Fiverr?

These behemoths of the freelance world both promise fame and fortune, but which one is right for you? Let's dive in and find out!

I will not waste your time and give you a short answer based on my experience:

Both can be right for you.

Why did I say so?

First, let's look at the way they both operate.

Upwork: On Upwork, you register your account, create your profile, and add your relevant skills.

From there, their algorithms will bring jobs that match your skills to your feed.

When you apply for jobs on Upwork, you must use connects, which are like special tokens. Each job requires a certain number of connects to submit a proposal, ranging from 2 connects up to 12 connects.

Think of connects as tickets to ride the job application rollercoaster. You need enough tickets to take the ride. So be strategic in choosing which exhilarating jobs to apply for with your limited number of precious connect tickets.

What's more?

If you don't find any job that is relevant to you, use the search bar to search for your skills, and available jobs will pop up on your screen.

Let's now look at Fiverr.

On Fiverr: You create your profile and add the necessary information.

But here is the difference...

You have to create a gig on Fiverr. A gig is an opportunity to showcase your skills to potential buyers.

It is the gig Fiverr's engine will rank on their system. So in this case, the client doesn't post any jobs.

Instead, they search for those offering what they are looking for. And if your gig ranks on the first page for the term, you might be lucky to be picked by the client.

But over time...

The line between Upwork and Fiverr has blurred.

These once separate gig platforms now intrude on each other's turf. Freelancers can now have gigs on Upwork, and clients can post jobs on Fiverr.

But the basic mode of their operation remains the same.

Now back to the first question.

If you ask someone who has found success on Fiverr, surely he will tell you Fiverr is better.

And vice versa for Upwork.

Here is what you can do instead:

Why stick yourself only to one platform when you can explore both?

And this is exactly what I did when I started. I had accounts for both Upwork and Fiverr.

But as fate would have it...

I got my first client on Upwork, and from there, I didn't look back to Fiverr.

Although I spent more time on Upwork, and that's because the model seems more reasonable to me.

That is...

On Upwork, you are the hunter, prowling for jobs with your ready quiver of connects. On Fiverr, you are the prey, camouflaged among the gigs, hoping to catch a client's roving eye.

But here is the takeaway:

People have found success on both platforms. And the right platform is not something anyone can decide for you.

Go out and explore them.

Good luck!
