Just know that these gig economy sites own the entire relationship with your clients and anyone can put up a job without any real filters build into it. If you want to dip your toes into freelance life, nothing wrong with using Upwork or Fiverr, I have too in the past. They can even watch your screen on how you work, plus the introduction of their points-based system makes it hard to compete when you are brand new and just starting out as you'll be forced to compete on price. The main reason is that they take roughly 20% fees on everything you make while working via the platform.

I believe they are some of the best remote jobs websites to test the waters with freelancer work and independent clients, however, they are less than ideal when looking for a part or full-time remote job.

It's likely you have heard of sites like Upwork, Freelancer and Fiverr when you read this.
