5 Best Freelancing Websites to Start Making Money Online in Kenya

I previously wrote a post on where to start to making money online in Kenya and I was amused to receive several inquiries with questions on :Exactly, where do you make money online? Which websites do you use to make Money online in Kenya ? How easy is it to make money online in Kenya? I would like to respond to these questions on this post and future posts hoping someone out there will benefit from these ideas.

As I stated on the previous post titled ‘Where to start to make money online’ you will only be successful in making money online if you are ready to start selling a service to many ‘hungry’ clients who are seeking your services. Yes! You can start today to make money online straight from your home if you follow these tips.

The following are the top 5 freelancing websites that you can create a profile and start your journey of making money online.
      
     1) Elance

Elance is a great platform that I rate above all the other freelancing platforms based on the kind of clients you get on this platform. This platform will allow you to charge a minimum of $10 which is a great advantage to you as a freelancer. The only shortcoming of this platform lies in the nature of the accounts you can open on this platform.

 The basic account is free but the other accounts are paid with the minimum being charged $10 per month.  The only advantage of having a paid account is increase accessibility to the clients and projects. In simple terms you are allowed to bid more jobs. For a free basic account you may be limited to only 10 bids in a month.

    
Is this $ 10 fee worth it?

Absolutely YES, I started on a basic account and upgraded to a paid account and the ROI was high making it reasonable to pay the $10 per month, once you have earned some money from the platform.

    2) Odesk

Odesk is the most popular freelancing website in Kenya and it takes the second place. It is free to join and very easy to help you get started making money online. You just need to sign up and get started; I used this platform to earn my first pay check $ 30 dollars online. The only shortcoming of this platform it is very competitive for new people but once you get started you will make so much money especially if you have high number of positive feedback.                   
                                     Visit : Odesk

      3) Guru

Guru is another great website that you can use to make money online, in fact this website allows you to bid and interact with clients freely. It works in a similar way like Odesk.

Freelancer is a great site for people who are experienced in the other 4 websites. If you have not tried out the first four websites try them first before you go to this website. This website is ideal for web programmers, copywriters and designers.
