Best Freelancing Websites to find jobs

“Remember nobody is hiring you because you can design, write, market or code… they’re hiring you because they have a business problem. Your service (in their mind and yours) provides the solution to that problem, so focus on that rather skill-jargon, buzzwords and vague lists of qualifications”  - Liam Veitch (freelancelift.com/1m-freelancer-book)
