What are the various membership plans and commissions payable to freelance sites?
The amount of commission payable to the freelance site depends upon the type of membership. For a beginner, it is advisable to start with free membership. Generally the commission is around 5 to 10% of the project cost, subject to a minimum of 3 to 5$. As a free member you can place bids on 15-20 projects per month. You may please refer the freelance sites to know more about gold membership, featured projects and other paid membership plans where you have to pay monthly or quarterly or half yearly or yearly fees to the freelance site. Advantage of paid membership is that you are not required to pay any commissions to the freelance sites and you can place your bids for 150+ projects per month. You should go for gold membership only after you have successfully established on the freelance platform.
