WordPress always amazes me, each day with the countless abilities that allows anyone to transform it into any niche site. You can use WordPress as a CMS for just any niche out there, and the most interesting part is that you think it, and there’s a theme already available for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, I showed you how to create a Fiverr like site using WordPress<\/a>, which is praised by many, and today I am going to show you how to create a Freelancer like a site using WordPress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since, quite a few times, I’ve been using Freelance services, on various sites like Freelancer.com, Odesk.com, ELance.com, Guru.com and many more to hire freelancers for small works such, plugin development, writing any custom script, app development, logo designing, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, I end up with hiring an affordable expert, who does what he promises and that too, within a pre-defined deadline. Bingo! that’s easy, hassle-free, and most likely would cost you far lesser than hiring any full-fledged dedicated firm, and top of all delivers nearly the same or even higher quality of final work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Overall we can say, “Freelance sites are the proven ways to find the best and one of the most affordable methods to outsource our any work, on the internet.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Freelance marketplace concept<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms, these are the sites that allow freelancer or sellers to register their profiles, a description of their services creates a portfolio of their work, and also mentions information about their charges. On, the other hand buyers or the one who wants to hire a skilled freelancer creates a profile, posts his job, or the work he wants to get done, along with their requirements, deadline, and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers or freelancers will bid for these jobs, either one time fixed price job or on the hour basis. Sellers often select the freelancers on the basis of their ratings, lower price, lesser time, and their previous work histories, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once, the seller awards his job, to a chosen freelancer, he can track the work status, can contact him via messages, and upon the completion of the job, the seller grants a  payment using online payment systems like PayPal, Moneybookers, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why create yet another project bidding site, when there are already many?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That’s definitely the first question, which strikes your mind, before creating such a Freelancer website but, what I believe is that there’s always a scope for something better in every aspect of life. The same fact applies to these freelancer sites here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though there are already many, with some unique features you can make your freelancer site, stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the question is how?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well, there are endless possibilities to create something with a difference! for instance:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
