I initially wanted to write about the ultimate list of freelance platforms. But there are hundreds of them where you can work from home and make money online as a freelancer.
So instead, I asked my Filipino freelancer friends which websites do they recommend. Particularly, the ones they often use and earn a good income from.
If you’re new to the freelancing world, then below are the platforms, marketplaces, and websites that you should visit if you’re looking for work-from-home jobs.
The type of work that you can apply for will vary for each website. Most are marketplaces, while some are focused on a specific type of work, i.e. transcription, article writing, English tutor, etc.
It’s recommended that you first decide on the freelance service that you want to offer, before going through the list. This will help you avoid getting overwhelmed.
Lastly, this list is not complete. There are, of course, other websites, that offer income opportunities for online freelancers. But these are the most popular among Filipinos, listed in alphabetical order.

A Few Freelancing Tips
Many Facebook groups cater to Filipino freelancers. I encourage you to join them and learn from your peers.
Moreover, there are several options to receive payment. Personally, I recommend using PayPal because it’s fast, secure, and globally accepted as a payment channel.
Lastly, it’s important to remember that working as an online freelancer is different from building a freelance business. One is self-employed, while the other is an entrepreneur. And those who succeed the most in freelancing are those who nurtured their entrepreneurial mindset.
