If you are thinking about becoming a freelance writer, you might have known about the freelancing platforms called Fiverr and Upwork, you might even have tried these platforms. If you have tried these platforms, it is very likely that you have not made any money because of the competition out there. Here are three freelancing sites to find freelancing contracts. These are just like Fiverr and Upwork, albeit less competitive. When the market is less competitive, the chances of getting hired greatly increase. Therefore, you can try the following freelancing marketplaces.

I know about all this freelance marketplaces, in fact I applied to become a "content writer" in all of them. But unfortunately, the competition around Upwork, Fiverr and Freelancer.com didn't lete hold down a lasting spot in my niche selection. I dropped my pursuit of writing for rewards since I wasn't getting much of the jobs. I have invested my time around crypto, but I can't say never to them, something can still take me to those freelance marketplace in the future whenever the need arise.
