Freelancer.com vs. Voices

Freelancer is the best when it comes to running a small agency and getting as many jobs as you can, and gathering international experience and reviews. It is also quite good for earning small, extra money on the side when you have additional free time for doing smaller time-scoped projects.

For major "national" work often their financial compensation is in line. But for other generally smaller jobs I'm not sure it's a fair dollar amount. I'm not sure this is due to the client involved or a policy of Voices.

• Freelancer.com gives you a way to hire freelancers within minutes.
• It offers you secure payments using their milestone payments, which make you safe as a freelancer or employer.
• Their support service is great, easy to use and simple to use! Your problems can get solved in seconds.

• Service...They return and respond to emails and phone calls efficiently.
• All my bookings are ensured payment via their escrow system.
• They post many jobs for me each day.

• Complex interface: tracking your freelancer's work status is harder than it should be. Tracking sometimes does not work as it should.
• Mobile app is laggy and sometimes glitchy so personally I prefer to use the web-based platform (inconvenient for someone who is traveling on business trips a lot).
• It is hard to find quality talent for simple tasks (translation). It is easy to find talent for technical tasks though (iOS app developers for example).

• I'm not sure I'm given every fair chance at being booked for the various jobs for which I audition.
• The amount given for payment for each job is mysterious. Often the same job from other sites is considerably higher there. I wonder if I'm being offered the amount I should be in a fair market.
• Quite often the amount offered for long form jobs is way below industry standards.

Of the freelance hubs I am listed on, more than a few, I haven't been as successful on Freelancer.com. Freelancer.com, I think, could use some more development and better customer service. It does separate itself with its competency tests, but I'm not sure this is enough. Still, I check out the project lists from time to time and keep my profile up to date, just in case

I use both Voices and Voice 123. Initially i got more bookings with Voice. Now, I'm liking Voice 123 better. It's more transparent and offers much higher payments for voice acting work.

Incentivized

• Saving money by working with cheaper freelancers than others.
• Not having full-time employees because sometimes I have less work to provide.
• Find skilled freelancers easily without wasting time.

• Initially, the income and opportunity for increased income seemed great. Lately the paid jobs I've received has fallen way off. This is happening as I'm getting a lot better as a voice actor. It doesn't make sense. It's like Voices is somehow keeping me from getting gigs through their service.
• Often over the years I've been upsold to change to their more expensive plans. I've tried them with NO discernible improvement with opportunities for me.
• I'm going to have to get better ROI in the near future or I won't be continuing my subscription.
