If you are new in the freelancer world, you can get frustrated with the countless applications you make that never give you a reply email. It’s like they ghosted you!
Sad, right? Yeah, I even prefer to get rejection emails instead of being ghosted. Rejection emails are better off. At least you will know that those employers are real, and for some reason, you need to look into why you didn’t get the job.
There are a lot of websites, both local and international, that promise a better future if you register with them. But sometimes, it’s a complete waste of time.
I’m a freelance writer, and I’ll give you some cool websites where your application never gets lost. These are good websites where you can find freelance jobs if you are a writer.
I also think that it is also a good place for other freelancers who are not in the writing field.

By posting content that concerns your job type (for example, copywriting tips). You show that you are professional and draw others into your mind.
Joining groups that may need your services and being active helps to get clients. But just like Linkedin, there’s no payment security. Most times, you can take clients to some other more secure website and do transactions with them.

One big writers’ website is Contently, but it is not for beginners. Their payment method is very secure. Job application is not stressful at all.
