Working online is awesome, especially when you’re working on legitimate freelancing websites that pay you for your hard work. It can be demoralizing to work on a site only to realize that it’s a scam website.

Here’s a list of legitimate sites where you can work without barriers such as joining fees or country restrictions.

You don’t have to pay a dime to join these sites and they don’t have problems with Africans or non-natives. You just need to be able to provide quality, professional work.

Also let us know if you have had a good or bad experience with any of the above (or other) websites so that guys can know which ones to join and what to expect. I had previously reviewed a few.

Here’s an excellent resource by Time Doctor.

Note that I may not have a good idea about all mentioned sites so I’m learning also.

Click on each individual site to see it’s terms, pay etc.

I just compiled them from trusted members of the Awesome Transcribers in Kenya Facebook group and did some additional research. Some of these sites also reached out to me and I validated them before adding them to the list.

Remember I don’t recommend overly relying on such websites. It’s good for all freelancers to get direct clients. That way you can earn more, get flexible terms, and get paid using great platforms like Wise (formerly TransferWise), Payoneer, and Paxful.

Over to you, my friend. Let’s have a meaningful discussion on the comments.
