Which exchange to choose for a novice web designer?

Question

Freelance

A novice web designer, I can’t decide on a freelance exchange. The currency does not matter. There are several works in the portfolio, but I can not find a customer in reality.

Answer 1

Freelancing is primarily an entrepreneurial activity. It's good if you design 50% of the time.
If you have a question about choosing an exchange, maybe you should find another way to earn money? For example, selling his work.

Answer 2

I’ll try to assume (being both a customer and a performer) that in freelancing, supply exceeds demand, there is a lot of competition and there is nothing for beginners to catch there. I can be wrong.
I would go into the profession of a web designer from hiring an organization, and for a bigger one, you can remotely.
And so try fiverr for starters, and then, as Sanes wrote, you can sell on all sorts of Envato and so on.

Answer 3

As always on the Toaster, no one can say anything on the case, but the main thing is to fart loudly, yeah.
Choose https://freelansim.ru
For a beginner - that's it. Russian customers, free applications, nice design of the exchange, adequate people. I will say more - in general, for a Russian designer, this is the optimal exchange. Freelancing + HH + My circle = and in six months you will stop worrying about getting orders, people will go.

Answer 4

This is some kind of stupid question you have in the 16 hours of the day when you sit around, sit on all the exchanges, at least hang yourself, enough to sit on your ass, what to wait for the exchanges when you come to them

Answer 5

Choose International Upwork.

Answer 6

Go to the largest FL exchange, or better upwork if the language allows.
Alternatively, you can go to cmsmagazine (or other industry ratings), for example, in Tyumen, skip the first 5 positions of the rating, since they definitely have a full-time designer, and start writing emails to these web studios. With this approach, if you find at least 5 web studios that need your services, you will definitely receive regular orders of various sizes (banners, landing pages, and large sites), with less brain power, and more money. The portfolio should be adequate, even if there are only 2 works, but strong ones, there is a chance to get orders.
By the way, it's better to have 5 well-packaged works in your portfolio than 20 badly packaged ones.

Answer 8

For a beginner it will be difficult everywhere, because. the rating is low and there are few works in the portfolio, so it is better to be active on all major exchanges.
