1. FIVERR

This is my number one recommendation for newbies who want to start freelancing. I have got a couple of freelancing jobs from this site and got well paid from it.

Fiverr is an Israeli online market for freelancing services; it is a very popular and reputable site which almost all African countries.

2. UPWORK

Upwork is another popular freelancing site just like Fiverr. Although I have not made use of this network, I have researched reviews made on it and found the network to be of good reputation.

According to Wikipedia, Upwork has registered about 12 million freelancers and 5 million clients with over 3 million jobs made available every year. With Upwork clients get to interview freelancers before they can be accepted to do their bid.

One good thing about this network is that it supports a lot of African countries and provides a wide range of job listing for freelancers.

3. PEOPLEPERHOUR

PeoplePerHour is a platform that allows freelancers to connect with employers within their location. They have a wide range of job listings for all types of freelancing jobs.

With PeoplePerHour, employers create a bid, potential workers with the required skill will bid for the job by sending a cover letter to these employers. 

The employer reviews these cover letters and selects a freelancer. When an agreement is made, both parties create an escrow agreement and deposit a guarantee. 

Once the job is done, confirmed and accepted the payments are released to the employee.

One downside of this platform is that PeoplePerHour charges a fee on every transaction. But the overall user experience is good.
