Beware! This site is unstable, full of scammers, freelancers who pick up big projects with fair payments, but then return to hire freelancers for peanuts... Literally $1 ave per 500+ word projects. If you get screwed Freelancer does absolutely nothing. I have made money here with legit employers who pay well and fair. But I have also been scammed numerous times, completing work under their "verified" employers and suddenly the employer vanishes without payment. We are talking upwards of 50 articles basically written and given to them for free because Freelancer will do nothing. Their dispute process is a joke. Half the time, it doesn't even work like it should. You can't actually get a timely response from CS. Also, they over charge you in fees. Like price gouging! The projects you bid on cost you, even with memberships. They will eat away at your profit more than eBay and Paypal combined. STAY AWAY or USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
