My personal look at freelansim.ru

Once again I ran out of money and I decided to freelance a little. This time I decided to try Freelansim as a new and developing resource. As a result, I got a mini-review of the resource with my eyes, which might be interesting to someone (a lot of pictures).

The first thing that catches your eye is a hat, where instead of advertising there was a message about single accounts for a long time and an offer to hammer on all your freelance and go into voluntary office slavery:


Well, I won’t write about office advertising, it is clear that people made a mistake with the target audience, but it’s not clear with accounts. What are these accounts? Why do I need them? Who should I team up with? I just went to you, I do not have any accounts! Okay, what I'm finding fault is just painted brightly and out of place. Let's look at the most important thing - the work itself. I don’t have to look at the icons, but work to work:


What do I see? Three minutes ago a new project appeared! Wow! So the resource is seething with life and there is a lot of work on it that is enough for everyone! True, I’m not a SEO specialist, I don’t do doorways and can’t take the implementation of this project. I’m looking at the next one - departed 2 (TWO) days ago! What? In two days, not a single project? I frantically look at the next project - it was left already 4 days ago! FOUR DAYS! Those. in 4 days there were as many as 3 projects? The first thought is to close the tab and not return to this dead resource this year, but maybe in a year see how and what. Well, why do I need a resource where about 20 projects are posted per month?

However, having defeated my laziness, I scroll through the page and look further - no, the resource is actually alive, just the authors made the attached announcements without highlighting them. Apparently from the calculation that I will constantly see them, read the text that snapped up and will do projects only in order to not see them anymore. I must say that part of the attached projects still stand out in color. This is good, they can be skipped without reading:


Price. Only one project has a price on the page. But there are wonderful web 3.0 buttons with the tags “responsibility”, “speed of work”, “constantly online” and other brain diseases of HR managers. Apparently done for people who do not know how to do anything other than being "constantly online." Dear managers, why are you posting this? No, I understand perfectly that there are different situations, maybe in some kind of project constant online is critical - write this in the text, why should the tag be made of this? Reminded already forgotten:


I tried to poke on these tags - nothing useful happened. I don’t really understand why I choose the work “only for those responsible” (in fact, the function would be useful if it would NOT allow me to see offers with such tags - as a rule, the requirements are “executive”, “responsible” and others in this spirit come from people, with which it is extremely unpleasant to work). In general, the buttons are trite copied from Odessa, where sometimes they indicate at least something useful in tags, but we just post a manager’s gag. Managers, remember: if I were responsible, with a fast speed of work, work experience of 10 years and with the help of an Orthodox priest, I would never have reached your announcement.

We look further. Categories:


A man is pressed for a solution from the world of web, but what’s in his categories? There are some plugins in the categories, it’s not clear why. As a flash developer, I would never have thought of looking at the plugin category. But I would look through the category of “design”, not knowing anything in the latter, since many orders regarding the flash settle there. Although stop, "design" is in itself a bundle of categories, i.e. occupation for the evening in any case is. Ultimately, I would have spat and looked at the tape as a whole, even if I didn't run into duplicates. It turns out another feature that simply “should be”.

We look further. Hm. It seems that something is missing? But why? Oh yes, the freelance responders. For example, if 50 people have already responded to the project, then my chances for it are practically zero. Sometimes you open the projection and read “I’ll do it for 100 rubles,” “but I’ll do it for your review !!!! 1”, “Choose me, I’ll pay for it myself.” I would not post my offer in such a highly competitive environment, this is a simple waste of time. But I can only learn about high competition by going into a project:


So, I need to look at every project that I can potentially complete? And when to relax? With this approach, from morning to night I will look for projects, it’s better to go into office slavery, honestly.

Well, everyone can pretend, but have you at least achieved something?

Indeed, everyone can crow, but to offer something of their own - no. And I will offer: Key features:

• Zero design. This means that there are NO social network icons, there are no translucent layers and in general all that is NOT needed at the time of the project search. Sometimes they will make such a design that the page weighs half a meter, the browser barely chews it, slows down when scrolling, and there are only 10 projects on the page.
• All projects on one page. Please note that the page weighs about 300kb - this is much less than some templates on some popular sites, and the benefits are huge. Once the pages were divided into 10 records, so that people on modems could read everything, but now the page size is many times larger than the size of the marked text.
• The ability to search directly on the page. My browser can search for texts, for this you do not need to constantly search for a site, and search in the browser will always be faster.
• You can see immediately the budget and the number of respondents, right in the header. I can follow the link, I can immediately ignore
• All projects with the words “design”, “SEO”, “VKontakte”, “responsible”, “super” and the like things were removed from the page. Some of them are because I am not a designer, another part because I am not “super responsible with a certificate from an Orthodox priest” and prefer not to work with such people. The bottom line is only those projects that could potentially interest me (I have a lot of rules for cutting projects, 95% of projects are screened out when generating such pages)

While I did not register, there was little work on my profile (or didn’t I find it?), But I’m happy with the development of the resource. Let's see what will happen in the future.
