I still remember the first time I signed up on a freelance site. I was nervous, unsure, and honestly — a little scared. “What if no one hires me?” “What if it’s a scam?”
But after a few small gigs (and a few sleepless nights 😅), I realized something — freelancing is one of the best opportunities for Pinoys who want to work from home and earn in dollars.
So if you’re just starting, here are the best freelance websites in the Philippines that are legit, beginner-friendly, and have real clients.
1. OnlineJobs.ph
This is the most popular site for Filipino freelancers. It’s 100% legit and full of long-term clients looking for VAs, writers, and social media managers.
💡 Pro Tip: Create a clean profile with your photo and sample works. The more complete your profile, the faster you’ll get replies.
2. Upwork
Upwork is one of the biggest global freelancing platforms. You’ll find writing, graphic design, customer service, and tech jobs here.
It’s competitive, but once you get a few good reviews, clients will start inviting you. That’s how I landed my first $100 writing gig years ago!
3. Fiverr
Perfect for creative freelancers. You can offer “gigs” like writing blog posts, making logos, or editing photos — and set your own price.
💡 Tip: Add attractive thumbnails and a short video intro to stand out.
4. Remotasks
If you prefer micro-tasks like data labeling or image tagging, Remotasks is great for beginners. It doesn’t pay much at first, but it’s a good starting point to learn discipline and consistency.
5. 23 Hours, FreeUp, and Workana
These are smaller platforms but often have Filipino-friendly clients. They offer steady project-based work with fair pay.
Freelancing has changed the way so many of us work — especially moms. No traffic, no office politics, just your laptop, Wi-Fi, and determination.
If you’re dreaming of earning from home, this might be your sign to finally start. Your skills are valuable, mommy — and the world is ready to pay for them. 💪
