Remote work allows you to work throughout Russia while in the office or at home (in a robe and slippers, if you wish). And if you have knowledge of foreign languages, you can offer your services all over the world. In fact, from the desire to starting work with foreign companies, you are one short step away. This is a step towards information that answers the fundamental question - where to look for clients and how to express yourself?

In the article you will find direct links to 21 sites for finding remote work abroad. I will briefly talk about each of them. And if you are already preparing to step on one foot foreign markets Internet services, I am sure that the information will be more than useful for you. Before moving on to the sources of registration on foreign freelance portals, let's answer a few more questions.

How to work abroad via the Internet?

Remote cooperation with a foreign company is not too different from working with domestic customers. A potential client requires a specific task to be completed. He places the offer on the appropriate freelance portal. You, being registered on the resource, offer your services to the customer. After reviewing your portfolio, the company or individual accepts or continues the search.

Another question concerns the regulatory side of working with a foreign company. An important condition cooperation may be the conclusion of an agreement with the customer or a freelance portal. The latter will act as an intermediary if it offers to make payments through the resource’s internal account. I strongly recommend that you carefully read the documents that you sign, since outside the borders of the domestic Internet, contractual obligations are treated much more strictly.

If a foreign company has a representative office in Russia, with a high degree of probability, you will be offered to contact the responsible person within the country. Accordingly, payments for completed tasks will be made to you in the domestic economic space.

Payment for remote work abroad

If the customer does not have representative offices in Russia, or does not want to transfer responsibility for completing the assigned tasks to them, you will make payments directly with the foreign company. Payment for freelancer services abroad is made in the form of electronic payments to WebMoney, PayPal and similar wallets. Nobody canceled and bank transfer on Visa cards or MasterCard.

The peculiarity of payments for remote work with a foreign company concerns tax base. Today we will not dive deeply into the topic of reporting. The topic is worthy of a separate article. I note that the issue needs to be discussed with potential client early. If the customer undertakes to pay tax within his country himself, he must provide you with the appropriate document indicating that payment from the funds transferred to you has been made.

You must present this document to tax authority at the place of registration (individual) or company registration (individual - individual entrepreneur, legal entity). If the burden of taxation falls entirely on your shoulders, the procedure will be standard - filing an income tax return, as when working with domestic customers.

Nice bonus: The experience of fruitful cooperation with foreign companies will largely justify you as a performer worth your money in the domestic Internet services market.

Many designers from Russia, Ukraine and other countries former USSR V last years faced a drop in earnings from local jobs. This is not surprising - the economic situation leaves much to be desired, there is less money in business and the number of orders is falling.

At such a time, the logical decision for a designer, or for any other freelancer, is to enter new markets and search for customers from Europe and America. Business there is growing steadily, and with it the need for quality, besides, payment comes in dollars or euros, which, given the current exchange rate, cannot but rejoice.

Of course, specialized platforms that help specialists and employers find each other are best suited for finding customers from abroad. In addition to the well-known exchanges, covering all types of freelance work, there are a number of exchanges tailored exclusively for designers. Let's take a quick look at some of them.

99 Designs

This portal operates on a competitive basis. To receive an order, freelancers participate in competitions announced by customers.

Competitions can be very different - for the best logo, illustration, website design, application or packaging, sketch of clothing or book cover, etc.

Within seven days, the customer selects a winner, who receives a predetermined fee, transfers the rights to the project to the client, and becomes the priority contractor for new orders from this client.

DesignCrowd

This platform, extremely popular in the West, but not so well known to designers from the CIS, also works on the principle of a competition. Competitions are held in four categories: web design, graphic design, printing and corporate identity. Designers offer their work in accordance with the customer’s brief, who, after discussion and modifications, selects the winner.

Unlike other platforms, on DesignCrowd designers are compensated for entering the competition (around $20-$50) even if they don't win.

It is important to place your portfolio on the site, since sometimes customers simply choose a designer without holding a competition. The service commission is 13.3%

Fiverr

This service causes a lot of controversy in the design community. He is often accused of dumping and extremely low quality of work. This is not surprising, because one of the requirements of the service is to provide services for only $5.

Oddly enough, many offer the design of a logo, business card, banner, flyer, etc. for such a ridiculous price. However, not everyone knows that a designer working on Fiverr is required to provide only one, very minimal service for $5. Wherein Additional services can be provided for more high rate(must be a multiple of five dollars).

For example, the creation of a simple logo without a deadline, provision of sources and rights can cost $5, but an urgent creation of a logo with the provision of sources and high-resolution files by a top-rated artist will cost no less than $50. Some experienced users with good rating earn several thousand dollars a month by offering packages of services for $50-$100 each, while providing these services only takes 2-3 hours.

Below are 10 tips that will help designers from the CIS correctly present themselves to foreign customers, learn how to receive orders and work successfully on international design exchanges.

1. Pay special attention to your profile

Just like on the Russian stock exchange, your profile is your business card. The content of the profile becomes a decisive factor influencing the success in promoting the services of a designer.

Create a compelling headline that includes your specialty, work experience, and skills; remove descriptive words from there - everything is just to the point. Describe your professional experience and qualities in an informative yet concise cover letter format. Formulate your thoughts correctly, write only to the point. Put yourself in the customer's shoes, think about what is important to him when he orders your services, and let him know that you have the right qualities. A potential customer should be convinced not only that you have already successfully completed projects similar to his, but also in general that you are adequate and professional. If you are not confident in your English, give the text to your friends for proofreading or order proofreading from an online agency. Be precise and honest - then customers will perceive you exactly the way you want.

Pay careful attention to your profile photo; a moderate business style on a neutral background is preferable. A friendly smile never hurts; it will emphasize your self-confidence and win over potential customers.

Look at the profiles of other highly rated designers - think about what elements of their profile, phrases and phrases you could use in your own. Analyze which keywords are most relevant to your customers, most often used in the profiles of successful competitors, and include them in your profile.

Include in your portfolio examples of your best, most representative work done for American or European clients. This is much more important than work, albeit of very high quality, but done for customers from the CIS. If you don’t have work for Western customers, it makes sense to design a flyer, website page or booklet cover for a fictitious project in English.

Constantly work on your profile, improve it, add new skills (more on that below), update your portfolio.

2. Improve your English

Communication on international design exchanges is carried out mainly in English. Many designers believe that it is not necessary to know English, and that using Google Translator will be enough to get the job done. This approach has a number of disadvantages.

Firstly, without knowing the language, you will not always be able to accurately understand the task.

Secondly, you all know at what level online translators often translate. Do you want the letters and messages you send to your customer to be written in incorrect and illiterate language, and sometimes with a distorted meaning? Good written communication will help you build trust with the customer, and it will simply be more pleasant to work with you.

In addition, communication with the help of online translators takes much more time, you will feel this when it comes to correspondence on Skype, and not in exchange chats. It is worth noting that many dumping designers from Southeast Asia suffer from poor English, so competent speech is a great way to further stand out among them and make the customer want to pay more for your work.

Therefore, if your level of English is below Intermediate, it’s time to sign up for courses.

According to the experience of many designers, the easiest customers to communicate with are from European countries where English is not their native language. Typically, these clients speak at a comfortable, slow pace, their speech consists of the most familiar common words, they use few unfamiliar figures of speech and slang, and their pronunciation is fairly easy to understand.

3. Continue to develop and learn

It's no secret that in order to be a professional, you need to learn every day. Your income directly depends on the level of your professionalism, and when you enter a market with global competition, it becomes especially important to constantly improve this level. On global market It is much easier for the customer to find a contractor with the right set of skills and competencies.

Therefore, you must not only develop and hone your existing skills, but also constantly acquire new ones. On an international exchange, the chances of selling low-quality services are close to zero.

Therefore, constant work to improve your professional level is the key to success. Try to spend at least half an hour every day studying authoritative thematic resources, forums and communities. Explore new trends and technologies - even if you don't use them in practice, you will be aware of industry trends and will be able to present yourself favorably to the customer.

Be sure to subscribe to such popular design resources in English, such as Behance, SmahingMagazine, UXMag, How Design, Just and many others. This way, you will not only stay up to date with global trends in design and technology, but also expand your vocabulary with relevant English terminology.

4. Prepare to interact on a new level and embrace cultural differences

Western customers expect performers to take a responsible approach and be completely immersed in the project. Doing projects for several customers in parallel and delaying the deadline by a day will not work here. When entering international exchanges, it is very important to earn money quickly and maintain a high rating, so it is necessary to demonstrate to customers maximum involvement in the project and high-quality results. As with local exchanges, it is very important to develop a regular customer base; customer satisfaction must be put first. The first task from a new customer may be small and inexpensive, but if you complete it well, then there is a high probability of securing yourself a permanent job for a long time.

Pay special attention to high-quality and effective communication. A quick response to email will show your willingness to always be in touch with the client. If you want to build a long-term relationship with the customer, respond promptly and, if possible, always be in touch (of course, within reasonable limits). Send regular reports to the client to update them on the status of the project, or schedule periodic Skype calls to discuss ongoing issues.

5. Consider time differences and holidays

When working with foreign, especially American, clients, be prepared to work outside of normal working hours. Clients in other time zones will expect you to be available for at least some hours of their workday. Take this into account when planning your schedule. By the way, Europeans are very sensitive to personal time, and after 17:00 they are not ready to devote time to work issues. Therefore, if you send questions or layout edits in the evening, do not wait for an answer until the next morning.

In Europe and the USA there are not so many days off at the beginning of January, nor do they have May holidays, and your regular Western clients will expect you to be at least partially available during this period, as their business operates as usual. In turn, remember to wish your Western clients happy holidays such as Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving, and try to complete all projects before their holidays begin.

6. Consider your pricing policy

Dumping on international freelance exchanges is not the best strategy; there will always be performers who will offer an even lower price. Instead, your competitive advantages should be quality, speed, professional approach and, as mentioned above, good English. Keep in mind that competition will only increase. According to Intuit, freelancers will make up 40% of the American workforce by 2020. It's estimated that half of the UK's working population will switch to freelancing within the next five years, and India already has a whopping 15 million freelancers.

At the same time, it is always useful to focus on average rates. According to , the average rate for freelancers in Russian-speaking countries is $18, worldwide - $21. Russia is at the level with the world average ($21), Belarus is second with a rate of $19, in Ukraine and Moldova they ask for slightly less than the average - $16. As for designers, the average rate for graphic, web and video designers is $19, and for illustrators - $20.

Instead of asking customers how much they are willing to pay, tell them with . It is perfectly acceptable to ask about the client's budget. Use this information to offer a range of services that suits your prices. You can also offer the client staged payment or other conditions that satisfy both parties.

7. Think ahead about how you will get paid.

Receiving payment is one of the main difficulties that CIS designers face when working on international exchanges. Many methods for withdrawing earnings offered by such exchanges are not available or are available in limited quantities in some CIS countries. Many exchanges do not transfer funds to an account in a Russian or Ukrainian bank, even if it is opened in foreign currency, and opening an account abroad involves a number of difficulties and high costs for the designer. One solution to this problem is the payment platform Payoneer, which helps freelancers get paid from European and American clients.

Many international freelance exchanges (UpWork, 99design, Fiverr and others) offer Payoneer as one of the means of receiving payment; you just need to specify your account details in the exchange settings. If the exchange does not cooperate with Payoneer directly, you can simply provide the details of a virtual American or European account to receive payment, which Payoneer provides to all its users. Regardless of which of the two methods you receive money on Payoneer, you will be able to withdraw it to your account in local bank, as well as withdraw from an ATM or use to make a purchase using Payoneer cards MasterCard.

Especially for readers, the Payoneer website provides a special bonus - they give $75 to their Payoneer account after registering and receiving payments in the amount of $100 or more. To receive your bonus, simply register using this link.

8. Conduct yourself correctly in case of late payment

By working on popular international freelance exchanges, you expect to quickly receive the payment you are due. It’s worth noting right away that when it comes to payment, Western customers are very obligatory and punctual. There are practically no people here who like to get a design and not pay.

Unfortunately, there will always be those who do not pay or pay with delays. Sometimes the customer does not pay simply because he is busy or does not know how to properly organize the work. Send him a friendly reminder through the online exchange. Ask if he has any questions regarding the work you have completed. Save all correspondence with the client, including through the exchange: this way you will have proof that you tried to receive payment.

Talk about a paradise and sky-high earnings foreign freelance exchanges somewhat erroneous and typical, as already mentioned, for beginners. In fact, competition is also present on them and even higher than on the exchanges of the CIS countries - after all, the exchanges are world-class and freelancers from different countries there are many such places. Indian, Pakistani and Chinese specialists are especially highly competitive when it comes to programming, for example. But there are also advantages - there are more offers on foreign exchanges, and if you need really high-quality work, then serious employers try not to contact comrades from the above-mentioned countries.

Foreign freelance exchanges

There is a lot of information and various reviews on the Internet about the work of specific foreign freelance exchanges. They, no doubt, will provide some help, but in any case, it is necessary to plunge into this foreign “cuisine” personally and preferably headlong - this is the only way to understand what foreign freelancing is. Let's go!

Formerly getafreelancer.com and scriptlance.com, the largest and most famous world-class foreign exchange. At the time of writing this article, it unites over 4 million freelancers. The main direction of the exchange is IT work of various specializations: designers, software developers, copywriters and many others. There are also sections with suggestions for marketing, promoting and selling products, etc.
Methods for withdrawing money at the time of writing: PayPal, MoneyBookers and MasterCard from Payoneer.

http://www.vworker.com

(formerly RentACoder.com). Well-known foreign freelance exchange. The main profile of this exchange is projects with a fixed agreed payment, although there are also offers with payment for the time of work. Direction of proposals - IT specialties.
Withdrawal of money at the time of writing: PayPal, Western Union and a MasterCard from Payoneer.

odesk.com

Quite famous American stock exchange freelancing that has existed for a long time. The main direction is IT specialties, although there are sections with other areas. The exchange offers both fixed-fee and hourly offers. In the latter case, the freelancer is obliged to establish special program, taking screenshots, tracking button presses and entering this data into the freelancer’s diary. The employer will be able to log into it and find out what he is shelling out money for. This method seems slavish, but it does not allow you to relax, many freelancers work this way - and there’s nothing, everything is fine.
Withdrawal of money at the time of writing – MoneyBookers, PayPal, oDesk debit MasterCard ( debit card MasterCard from Payoneer) and electronic transfer to a bank account.

elance.com

One of the largest and oldest Internet projects. The main direction is IT work: web design, programming, interface development. There are also suggestions for translations, SEO, design, etc. Competition in the form of Indians is quite high, although this, as already mentioned, is typical of all foreign freelance exchanges. And again, many employers do not want to deal with them, so there will always be a job for a true professional.
Withdrawal of money at the time of writing: PayPal, bank transfer, Elance Prepaid MasterCard – MasterCard debit card from Payoneer.

guru.com

One of the oldest foreign freelance and remote work exchanges. The focus is quite broad, but the main direction is computer work. Among the features of the work, it is worth noting two types of accounts - paid and free. The latter is limited in its ability to provide its own services - it is quite difficult to earn anything. A paid account costs on average per month of operation.
Withdrawals at the time of writing: check, bank transfer, PayPal and MasterCard debit card from Payoneer.

freelancers.net

A small foreign freelance exchange that has existed since 1999. The focus of the exchange is quite broad, projects are published every day.

origondo.com

New at the time of writing, a Swiss foreign freelance exchange for specialists who speak English and German. New exchanges do not have large quantity projects and their massive daily appearance - the Internet has inertia and employers, out of habit, go to old, proven exchanges. But the new ones have an ironclad advantage in the form of low competition and it is much easier to get an order for them.

Origondo's areas of focus are marketing, design, web development, copywriting and other areas of business and IT work.

bootb.com

Foreign exchange for freelancing and remote work in Russian - there is a Russian-language part of the project. The direction of the exchange is creativity in all its manifestations: design, logos, high-level corporate identity, etc. The peculiarity of the exchange is that projects appear quite rarely.

devbistro.com

Many reviews claim that this is an exchange, although the service looks more like a place to look for work abroad. The focus is mainly technical, although there are other proposals.

As information on the topic, we present statistics taken from the Habrahabr website, which reflects the percentage of freelancers working on different exchanges, most of which are foreign (some of them have new names). In first place is Odesk, although many articles on the Internet claim that due to the use of tracking software, working on this exchange is almost slavery.

Concluding the article, we cannot help but dwell on the withdrawal of money - when working with foreign freelance exchanges, this can become a serious problem. PayPal allows citizens of the post-Soviet space to deposit money using bank cards that are linked to PayPal account no problem. But you cannot transfer the money you earn to these same cards. At the same time, there have been persistent rumors for years about a change in PayPal’s policy towards our countries, but the matter keeps getting pushed back.

MoneyBookers is a well-known payment system not to be trusted. But there is another problem - not all cards are connected to your MoneyBookers account. And some banks allow you to draw conclusions on affiliated ones, while others do not. This is parsley... And the matter, as always, is again in our banks.

Recently, more and more freelancers are using MasterCard cards from Payoneer, ordered online. Once you receive them by mail, you can then withdraw money from an ATM. In a big city this is probably not a problem, but in the outback there are not so many ATMs, in most cases there are one or two large banks.

The conclusion suggests itself - before working with the exchange, or rather, before starting to implement offers, it is advisable to thoroughly learn about methods for withdrawing earned money. Even to the point of registering in the payment system, ordering a card from the bank and, linking it to your account, verifying it, thus ensuring confidence in the possibility of receiving money in your city.

It’s no secret that the difference between Russian and foreign freelance exchanges is simply huge. They started doing remote work much earlier, so it is in demand and trusted much more than here. What are the other differences between Russian and foreign exchanges?

Where to settle? How much does the average worker earn? You will find answers to these and other questions in this article.

So, foreign Freelance. What are its advantages?

High wages. Western mentality is significantly different from ours. If our people want to get as much as possible for less money, then Americans and Europeans treat the work of freelancers with more respect.

Security of transactions. Despite the fact that recently Russian freelance.ru and weblancer.net have been taking various measures to secure transactions, there is a high probability that they will be left in the cold. On foreign exchanges there is practically no such probability; all work is carried out within the exchange.

Hourly payment method. In many countries, there is a tendency to pay not for the actual completion of the project, but for the time spent on it. Agree, this is convenient and well deserved.

On the other hand, not everyone likes the fact that they will be strictly controlled. For example, the oDesk website implements a program that the performer must mandatory install on your personal computer. The program tracks work on the project: the number of mouse clicks, keyboard presses, etc. Once every 10 minutes, she sends the employer a screenshot of the performer’s desktop. This way the customer can make sure that you are really working and the money is not going to waste.

More work. To counter this, you can put more workers. If 15 performers respond to a project on free-lance.ru, then on the famous oDesk and freelancer.com - all 150, or even 200. It is very difficult to compete in such conditions, especially for beginners who do not have a reputation and reviews from customers. However, a good specialist will always find plenty of work.

And now a few words about the shortcomings

The language barrier. If you want to work on foreign exchanges, then know English language at the proper level is simply necessary. It is advisable to be able not only to write competently, but also to speak well, since some customers prefer to negotiate via audio and video calls on Skype.

High competition. It is very difficult for beginners to get used to it and find their first customer. It’s not surprising, because hundreds of performers from all over the world are responding to the project. You need to be the most creative and enterprising among everyone to get noticed.

Methods of receiving payments that are inconvenient for Russian audiences. While most Russian freelancers are accustomed to using electronic payment systems Webmoney and Yandex.Money, foreign exchanges pay money to cards, PayPal, Payoneer accounts, as well as bank accounts.

Which exchanges should you pay attention to first?

The largest international remote work exchange is oDesk.com. Specialists here are evaluated based on the results of various tests, which everyone is recommended to take. Tests reveal the level of knowledge of performers in a variety of areas and are displayed in the profile.

On oDesk, as on other exchanges, experience and reputation are most valued, so at first you will have to work for them. Leave your dreams of sky-high earnings and vacations in Miami until better times. The website provides a counter for hours worked. You will have a chance to start serious projects only if you successfully work the first 100 hours in the lower price segment. However, it is strongly not recommended to take the lowest paid job, since all this will remain in your profile, and an order for $5 will look undignified. Once you have worked 100 hours, your customers' trust in you will increase significantly, and you will be able to work at rates that suit you. The ceiling is $50 per hour. This is exactly what qualified specialists with a good reputation receive here.

Freelancer.com is quite a bit inferior to oDesk. At one time, the company bought out almost all of its main competitors (getafreelancer.com, rentacoder.com, etc.). The project interface has been almost completely translated into Russian, so you can find many more Russian-speaking customers and performers here. Performers are very often chosen based on the results of competitions.

Elance.com is less interesting than the above giants, but it is also worth paying attention to. Nothing special, average rates here are 10-12 dollars per hour. In 2013, the exchange announced a merger with oDesk, but for now it exists independently.

Is it possible to combine freelancing with your main job?

Foreign freelance exchanges require a serious approach. If you really want to achieve results, then you will have to work tirelessly from morning to night, seven days a week. Do you still think that you can combine freelancing with your main job? Well, some people succeed. It all depends on your specialty and the projects you plan to take on. You can spend your entire life working on half-hourly tasks, earning pennies but having a stable job, or you can take a risk and devote yourself to remote work.

Selecting a payment system for withdrawing funds from the site

After you decide on a freelancing site to make money, pay attention to withdrawal methods. Payment systems and are often supported.
