Content Writing Jobs: 10 Upwork Alternatives For Finding Better Paying Jobs

upwork alternatives
Every day, many people come online to make a living as a writer — hoping to enjoy the freedom they desire by engaging themselves in content writing jobs. Naturally, the first option they get introduced to is sites like Upwork (formerly oDesk), Guru and Freelancer.com — often unaware that there are better alternatives to sites like Upwork. Instead of freedom, they get slavery. It’s not long before they find that they are running another rat race. They quickly discover that they are stuck in a never-ending hamster wheel of servitude to “clients,” with nothing to show for it.
This is bad. I strongly believe that to make a good living as a freelance writer, you need to think beyond Upwork, Guru, Freelancer.com and so called “freelance bidding sites.” You need to look for reliable, better-paying alternatives to these sites.
I’m not a fan of Upwork, Guru and the likes, and I don’t hide this fact. This is due to how these sites are set up to exploit writers and other freelancers, and how little they value these freelancers, who are actually the driving force behind the success of their site.
Things are hard everywhere right now. There’s a world economic crisis, and a recession is looming. Over here in Nigeria, where I am, the cost of goods has skyrocketed and some goods now easily cost thrice the original price. Truth is, the cost of living has skyrocketed everywhere, yet there seems to be an overwhelming number of people, often encouraged by sites such as Upwork, who are willing to pay writers peanuts for their efforts. It makes no economic sense.
I don’t believe you should earn $3 per article: not only is earning such low pay highly insulting, it makes no economic sense. That said, it’s easier to blame and bash sites like Upwork and Freelancer.com all day, but I won’t do that. Instead, I decided to put my money where my mouth is. I went ahead and researched a list of 10 better-paying alternatives to Upwork (formerly oDesk), Guru, Freelancer.com, etc, that will pay you a premium for your work. Many of these sites do not just facilitate relationships with clients that will pay you up to $50 or more per article, they encourage paying freelancers a premium. In fact, the main reason why these sites were created is to deliver creative people like you from the jaws of sites like Upwork. More importantly, I know a few people working for some of the sites featured below, so you can rest assured that they work!

Why You Need Alternatives to Upwork, Freelancer.com and Guru.com

I occasionally get emails from people who tell me that they are doing well on Upwork, Guru, iWriter, Freelancer.com and the likes. Heck, here’s a guy who makes $100,000 a year from Upwork. If sites like Upwork work for you, by all means stick to them. However, for the vast majority of people, I don’t think Upwork and its ilk are a good option. Here’s why:
It’s a race to the bottom: It just doesn’t get better with these sites, and 99 percent of people won’t succeed with them. Below is a chart I made while analyzing jobs on these sites for one of my ebooks a few years back:
freelance bidding jobs chart
Things haven’t changed since I did the above analysis, and I doubt it will be changing anytime soon.
As you can see from the above chart, more than 40 percent of the freelance writing jobs listed on one of the sites, Freelancer.com, pays less than $15 per hour. In fact, as shocking as this may sound, 21 of the 64 jobs analyzed pay less than $4 per hour. Yes, that’s $4 (single “four”) per HOUR. My analysis shows that approximately 33 percent of freelance writing jobs on these sites pay $4 or less per hour. You just can’t win with that!
The environment is setup to help the clients: As far as sites like Upwork, Freelancer.com and Guru.com are concerned, it doesn’t matter if they have 1 million freelancers or 10 million freelancers that are being paid peanuts; all is well as long as clients keep using their services and they keep getting commissions. Just to show you how little they care about you, the freelancer, besides creating an environment that allows clients to exploit writers who apparently don’t have much of a choice, they also do not charge clients at all. They make their money by taking a cut out of what clients pay you (which is already very low, thanks to the environment they created!). In what seems to be a new plan to start charging clients, Upwork recently announced that they will be charging clients a fee of 2.75 percent. Guess how much they charge freelancers? As much as 20 percent. Yes, they charge the freelancers who barely make a thing with them — those that need their services the most — a whopping 20 percent of the peanuts these freelancers earn on their platform. It just goes to show how much they care!
You can’t compete with their army of half-baked writers: While there are some great and talented writers on these platforms who are there because they can’t find better alternatives (they people I wrote this article for!), most are half-baked writers who are desperate to do anything to get a client. Many will happily charge $1 or $2 per article; as far as most potential clients on these platforms are concerned, these writers who are willing to get paid peanuts are YOUR competitors, and you shouldn’t charge better than them. Competing with this army of half-baked writers will drain you and send you into depression.
It’s actually the worst way to go about this: If it makes business sense to you, I’d probably have kept quiet. It doesn’t. Think about how much you pay for monthly internet access, electricity, taxes, etc. Let’s not talk about your own efforts, and the fact that you need money. You’re not even going to get close to breaking even with these sites. It’s just not the best use of your time.
Again, I’m not here to rant. Instead, I want to present you quality alternatives to sites like Upwork, Freelancer.com, Guru.com and their ilk. The following sites will link you with clients that value you as a writer, and these clients will pay you well for your work.

10 Alternative Sites to Upwork, Freelancer.com, Guru.com, etc.

CloudPeeps - upwork alternative
Their tagline says, “Our mission is to allow every professional the freedom to work the way they want,” and I believe it clearly depicts what CloudPeeps does.
CloudPeeps aims to connect qualified freelancers with clients that value them; their environment is set up in a way that you can earn up to $50 or more per hour. While they have opportunities for web designers, social media marketers and community managers, they also provide ample opportunity for freelance content writers and strategists, too.
CloudPeeps Hourly Rate
(As you can see from the above screenshot, they won’t allow anything less than $30 per hour from clients)
ClearVoice - upwork alternative
It sucks being an influencer who keeps struggling to get writing jobs. Perhaps you’ve built a profile for yourself, and then due to some challenge — having to take a maternity leave, attending an urgent casualty that you just needed to attend to, etc — that took you off the freelance writing landscape for a while, you noticed that you can’t find your footing? You don’t have to worry, ClearVoice is for you. They mainly accept influencers or established writers; if your writing has been published/featured on key publications, you should get accepted easily.
Like CloudPeepsClearVoice is also set up to help their writers get paid a premium for their work.
Contently - upwork alternative
With a community of over 45,000 professionals in 60+ countries, Contently is perhaps the biggest platform that connects freelancers to premium clients. Some of the world’s biggest brands use them to source writers. You can sign up to Contently here; once you sign up and fill your profile, they automatically match you up to clients when there’s a need for your services.
As the name implies, Contently is designed specifically to help you get content writing jobs; most of the other platforms on this list cater to designers, marketers and other freelancers.
4. Quietly
Quietly - upwork alternative
Quietly focuses mainly on linking brands with writers and content marketers. Once you fill up your profile and add samples of your work, Quietly will automatically match you with clients that might need your service when there’s a request for it.
5. Ebyline
Ebyline - upwork alternative
Ebyline positions itself as a platform that connects Fortune 500 companies and small businesses with expert content writers. They focus mainly on established writers, and they currently have around 2,000 freelancers from 72 countries. It’s free to join Ebyline.
6. Skyword
Skyword - upwork alternative
Skyword is positioned as a site that helps brands find writers that can tell their story. According to them, you only need to have the skills and they will handle connecting you with people who need your services. There are currently thousands of freelancer writers on Skyword writing for Fortune 1000 brands, and you can join them too.
7. Zerys
Zerys - upwork alternative
Zerys is another content marketing platform that connects brands with premium writers. At the time of writing this article, they claim to have over 11,000 businesses using their services. It’s free to use their service, and they automatically notify you when there are jobs that match your profile.
8. Copify
Copify - upwork alternative
Copify’s platform apparently only allows native-English speakers. Regardless, they advocate premium rates for writers, so they deserve a mention on my list. They currently have about 1,500 freelance writers and are eager to have more. Depending on where you are based, you either sign up for their US site, their UK site or theirAustralian site.
9. Twago
Twago - upwork alternative
With over 67,979 writers on their site, Twago is another portal that connects freelance writers with clients. They are majorly in Europe, but their system is set up to benefit you regardless of where you are located in the world.
10. ASJA
ASJA - upwork alternative
ASJA (American Society of Journalists and Authors) is a professional association of independent non-fiction writers. They only allow professional writers; if you’ve written in a professional capacity before — content mills don’t count! — then they will be happy to welcome you into their fold. Through their Freelance Writer Search website, they match their members with clients that might need writing services. They charge an annual membership fee.
BONUS
Okay, so while the above are ten platforms that make it easy for you to connect with clients and get high-paying content writing jobs, I’ve decided to put in a bonus for you:Scripted! As you can see from the screenshot below, Scripted pays much more than freelance bidding sites like Upwork, Guru.com and Freelancer.com.
Scripted - upwork alternative

Conclusion

There you have it, a list of ten robust and reliable alternatives to sites like Upwork, Guru.com and Freelancer.com. Besides the fact that these sites emphasize quality pay for writers, you’ll also notice that their system is set up to put the writer in charge (which is what we aim to help you do through this blog!); most of them charge their clients a monthly fee, and they only take a small cut of your fee if you get a job through their platform. Through their messaging and approach, they repeatedly communicate that they understand the worth of a writer.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Nata. I am an author, novelist, blogger and ghost writer. My articles, including short stories have been published in magazines and newspapers since 1994. I have written a lot of books, both fiction and non-fiction. So I was a professional in the field of writing, both fiction and non-fiction.

I was born in Jakarta, August 17, 1968.  

In 1988, at the age of 20 years, I started working as an accounting staff. Age 24 years has occupied the position of Finance Manager. Age 26 years as a General Manager.

In 1994, my articles published in magazines and tabloids.

In 1997, I wrote a book entitled "Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja". This book is reprinted as much as 8 times. Through the book, the authors successfully helped tens of thousands of people get jobs at once successful in their careers. They were also successful when moving to work in other places.

In 1998, I started investing in shares on Bursa Efek Indonesia (Indonesia stock exchange). As a result of investing in the stock market then I can provide consulting services for companies that want to go public in Indonesia stock exchange.

BUKU PINTAR DAPAT KERJA GAJI TINGGI PINDAH KERJA GAJI SEMAKIN TINGGI made by retyping the book BEST SELLER of the author, entitled “Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja”. This ebook available on google play.

In 2015, I had the idea of a startup company where the readers can decide for themselves the next story. WASN'T THIS A GREAT IDEA? IF can be realized WILL BE WORTH billions USD. Because CAN PRODUCE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS even tens of millions USD annually. 

In theory, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup income, amounting to hundreds of million USD annually can be obtained easily. AND IF FOLLOWED BY MANY COMPANIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL THEN BE A NEW INDUSTRIAL worth trillions USD. 

To be honest. Currently I'm not having a lot of money. So I start marketing my startup with blogspot.

My STARTUP :


A story with millions of choices in it - looking investor like you.



Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards. The more stories you read so the more options you have taken.


If you feel curious then you can re-read the story by changing your selection. Then you will see a different story with the story that you have read previously. The question now is why is this so? Because the storyline will be varying according to your choice. 


I, as the author is planning to make tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it. With tens of thousands of articles then you like to see a show of your favorite series on TV for several years. The difference is while watching your favorite TV series, then you can not change the story. Meanwhile, if you read this story then you can alter the way the story according to your own choice.

You might say like this. Sounds like a book "choose your own adventure". Books I read when I was young.

Correctly. The idea is taken from there. But if you read through a book, the story is not so exciting. Due to the limited number of pages. When a child first you may already feel interesting. But if you re-read the book now then becomes no fun anymore because you don't get anything with the amount of 100-200 pages. 

Have you ever heard of game books?  When you were boy or girl, did you like reading game books? I think you've heard even happy to read it.

Gamebooks are sometimes informally called choose your own adventure books or CYOA which is also the name of the Choose Your Own Adventure series published byBantam BooksGamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A gamebook is a work of fiction that allows the reader to participate in the story by making effective choices. The narrative branches along various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs or pages.

Bantam Books with the Choose Your Own Adventure 

series has produced more than 250 million US 

dollars. While I offer you more powerful than the Choose 

Your Own Adventure. Because of what? Because the 

story that I made much more interesting than the stories 

created by the authors of Bantam Books. You will not get anything just to 100-200 pages. While the story that I created is made up of tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it.

For comparison are the books published with the theme "choose your own adventure" produces more than 250 million copies worldwide. If the average price of a book for 5 USD, the industry has produced more than 1.5 billion USD. But unfortunately this industry has been abandoned because the reader begins to feel bored. The last book was published entitled "The Gorillas of Uganda (prev." Search for the Mountain Gorillas ")". And this book was published in 2013.

Based on the above, then you are faced with two choices. Are you interested in reading my story is? Or you are not interested at all. The choice is in your hands.
If you are interested then spread widely disseminated this article to your family, friends, neighbors, and relatives. You can also distribute it on facebook, twitter, goggle +, or other social media that this article be viral in the world. By doing so it is a new entertainment industry has been created.

Its creator named Richard Nata.

The full articles that talks about this: 
  



WHY DO I NEED STARTUP FUNDS FROM INVESTORS? I NEED A LOT OF FUNDS FROM INVESTORS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOKING FOR EXPERT PROGRAMMERS(IT).BECAUSE THE DATA IS HANDLED IS VERY LARGE, IT MAY HAVE TO WEAR SOME PROGRAMMERS(IT).

I CAN NOT WEAR SOME FREELANCE PROGRAMMER BECAUSE THE DATA MUST BE MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY FROM VIRUSES, MALWARE, SPAM, AND OTHERS.

IN ADDITION FUNDS FROM INVESTORS IS ALSO USED TO BUY SERVERS WITH VERY LARGE CAPACITY. FUNDS ARE ALSO USED TO PAY EMPLOYEE SALARIES AND OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE COMPANY.

FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR ADVERTISING AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED TO ADVERTISE MY STARTUP AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.

IF I GET A VERY LARGE FUND, THE PART OF THE FUNDS USED TO TRANSLATE THE STORY INTO VARIOUS LANGUAGES.With more and more languages, the more readers we get.
WITH MORE AND MORE READERS, THE MORE REVENUE WE GET. 

AS AN INVESTOR THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS. BECAUSE YOUR FUNDS WILL NEVER BE LOST BECAUSE IN 3-5 YEARS YOU HAVE RETURNED THE FUNDS COUPLED WITH PROFIT.
THIS BUSINESS IS ONE AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD.

If we can make a good story, so that the readers will 

come again and again for further reading the story then 

our earnings will continue to grow and will never 

diminish. This is due to new readers who continued  to 

arrive, while long remained loyal readers become our 

customers.

So that the number of our readers will continue to 

multiply over time. With the increasing number of loyal 

readership then automatically the amount of income we 

will also grow larger every year. The same thing 

happened in yahoo, google, facebook, twitter, linkedin, 

and others when they still startup.

Deuteronomy {28:13} And the LORD shall make thee the 

head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and 

thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them: ]

Try to imagine this. If I give a very unique story. It was the first time in the world. But the world already know this story even liked it. Because the world love the game books. While the story that I made is the development of game books.
Do you Believe if I dare say if I will succeed because my story will be famous all over the world as Harry Potter?
I believe it. Not because I was the author of the story, but because of the story that I made is unique and the only one in the world. 
Income from my startup :
1. Ads. With millions of unique visitors, the price of the ads will be expensive.
2. Affiliate marketing. In addition to advertising, we are also able to put up some banner from affiliate marketing.
3. Contribution of the readers. If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per year then you will get the income of one million US dollars per year. 
If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per month then you will get as much revenue twelve million US dollars per year.
4. Books and Comics. After getting hundreds of thousands to the millions of readers of the story will be made in books and the form of a picture story (comics).
5. Movies. If we have a good story with millions of readers then quickly we will be offered to make a film based on the story.
6. Merchandise related to characters. After the movies there will be made an offer for the sale of goods related to the characters.
7. Sales. With millions of email that we have collected from our readers so we can sell anything to them.
    Each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. 
    Because each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. Then in 10-20 years into the future, AI will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.
So how long do you think my story that I made could gather a thousand readers? Ten thousand readers? One hundred thousand readers? A million readers? Five million readers? Ten million readers? More than ten million readers?
But to get all of it of course takes time, can not be instant. In addition, it takes hard work, big funds and placement of the right people in the right positions.
By advertising, viral marketing, strong marketing strategies and SEO then a million readers can be done in less than a year. Ten million readers can be done in two to three years.
This is the marketing strategy of my startup.
When hundreds of thousands or millions of readers already liked my story then they have to pay to enjoy the story that I made.
If you are a visionary then you will think like this.
With the help of my great name in the world of business, my expertise in marketing, advertising, marketing by mouth, viral marketing, then collecting a million readers to ten million readers will be easy to obtain. Is not that right?
The question now is what if people like my story as they like Harry Potter? You will get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of email addresses from readers. With that much email, we can sell anything to the readers.
Since April 2013, Wikipedia has around 26 million articles in 285 languages are written by 39 million registered users and a variety of anonymous people who are not known from other parts of the world.  Web ranked by Alexa, Wikipedia is a famous website number 6 which has been visited by 12% of all Internet users with 80 million visitors every month and it is only from the calculation of America.

resource : http://www.tahupedia.com/content/show/136/Sejarah-dan-Asal-Mula-Wikipedia

If no Wikipedia then need hundreds of thousands to millions of books required to make 26 million articles in 285 languages into books.

With the Wikipedia then people started to leave to read a book or books to seek knowledge about a subject or many subjects.

The same thing will happen. Read a story in a book or books to be abandoned. Read a story with millions of choices on the web or blog is far more interesting than reading a book or books. 

So what happens next? In 10-20 years ahead then read a story in a book to be abandoned. Otherwise my startup will grow and continue to develop into a new entertainment industry.

New entertainment industry, where I was a forerunner startup will continue to evolve. 
Therefore, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.

So do not delay. Invest your money immediately to my startup. Take A Look. There are so many advantages if you want to invest in my startup.
WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW? .
IF YOU INVEST YOUR FUNDS IN ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, YOU MAY BE TOO LATE.
BECAUSE IN 1-3 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE THEN I'VE GOT THE FUNDS. THE FUNDS CAN COME FROM SOME INVESTORS, LOANS FROM BANKS OR FROM ADVERTISEMENTS POSTED ON MY BLOG.

IF I'VE GOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THEN I'VE NO NEED OF YOUR FUNDS. SO INVEST NOW OR NOT AT ALL.

My BLOG started to be written January 11, 2015. TODAY, MAY 30, 2015, THE NUMBER OF CLICKS HAS REACHED 56,750. SO FAR SO GOOD.

If I get big funds from investors then with a quick story that I wrote will spread throughout the world.

So I got acceleration because I can put ads in a large variety of media such as Google AdWords, Facebook, and others. I also can perform a variety of other marketing strategies.
If I do not get funding from investors then my story would still spread throughout the world. But with a longer time, Slow but sure.

So either I get funding from investors or not, the story that I wrote will remain spread throughout the world. Ha ... 7x

So don't worry, be happy.

My advice to you is you should think whether the data that I have provided to you makes sense or not .
If my data reasonable then immediately invest your funds as soon as possible.

Then we discuss how we plan further cooperation.

Thank you.
Lord Jesus bless you.
Amen
P.S. The offer letter I gave also to the hedge funds and 

venture capital and other major companies 

in the entire 

world. So who is fast then he will get it.


P.P.S. In addition, there is one more thing I 

want to tell you. If a story can generate tens 

of millions of US dollars, then what if made 


many stories? Then why do not you make 2, 3 or many stories? You will get hundreds of million USD annually.
