I have been working as a freelancer and a contractor. I enjoy this lifestyle. But I still have different issues.

- A LOT of job boards and freelance marketplaces exist. I wasted plenty of hours to check them and find a relevant project. Approximately, I found a service that helps me to manage them. [1]

- Clients want to spend less money from a job. That's why you face a big competition on the freelancers market. Indian and European freelancers charge less money. Their rates are from $5 per hour till $40. When an American freelancer has to charge from $50 till $150+. [2] Fixed price really solve this issue.

- You can't anticipate how much money you can get for a month.

That's why I suggest finding long-time clients or full-time remote jobs as a contractor. Make your life easier.
