On: How to Freelance Now?

I’ve had similar experiences with freelance platforms, and as a client, I can confirm what you’re saying. I felt like I was being flooded from all sides, which made the whole experience less enjoyable and made it harder to trust the process. IMHO, the old freelance marketplace model is broken.

Thats unfortunate. And how to fix it - not a trivial one.

Exactly. I don’t think there’s an easy fix. Maybe we just need less noise, not more automation.

But when you run into a problem, sometimes the best thing to do is build the solution yourself. A lot of indie products started exactly this way.
