Sites for 1C-specialists and programmers

I found not so many specialized sites for IT-specialists and programmers. Further, when we consider these professions in more detail, I will give many more examples of various forums and portals where you can find a good remote job for programmers.

1clancer.ru is an exchange for programmers and 1C specialists from all CIS countries.
devhuman.com is a service for IT professionals, programmers, startups and other professionals that allows you to quickly create a team for your project.
modber.ru is another site for 1C professionals.

Where can you find a person who will set up your site, work on its content and promotion, write texts, select and process pictures? At 1C-UMI you can easily do it yourself or with our help. An alternative is to hire a freelancer on a freelance exchange.

There are a lot of resources, where highly qualified specialists live, both in Runet and in the entire network. It is enough just to throw a call in the form of an ad to attract the right freelancers to work on your web project, if you already have it and created it on 1C-UMI.

Let's see how to search for a specialist on several remote work exchanges.

Looking for a freelancer on fl.ru

Before publishing a project, you need to register here. Preferably as an employer, so that later you can exchange feedback with performers. However, recently you can also post ads from a freelancer profile. There are only a couple of restrictions - you cannot create an order and you will not be able to leave a review after the work is completed.

So, you have registered on fl.ru and want to find a freelancer to work on the site. Log in with your account and click on the "Post task" button.

A form will open for you to fill out. First, we specify the name of the project. It could be something arbitrary. For example, "We need a turnkey website" or "We need a copywriter to fill the site."

After that, we write in detail about what you need to do. Let's say, “You need to fill a site created on 1C-UMI with unique texts. Ready to pay 200 rubles for 1000 characters. Write only to experienced copywriters!

Optionally, you can attach any file (TOR, layout, or whatever).

Then the specialization of the project and the budget are indicated. Be careful not to confuse specializations.

If you do not know which subcategory to choose, then leave the default on "All specialties". This will allow everyone who belongs to the main specialization "Web Development" or any other one that you need to see the project.

Next, you can specify the amount of remuneration for a freelancer, or check the box “By agreement”, if suddenly you don’t know how much such work can cost. In this case, the contractor himself will tell you his price, and you will agree on it.

After filling in all the fields, click on the "Publish project" button.

Next, you will begin to receive applications from freelancers, you can easily read them in your project. The performers you like can be added to the list of candidates, then one of them can be selected as the performer. As for those whose offers did not suit you, they can be officially refused within the framework of the fl.ru exchange functionality.

One important nuance: the moderators of this resource are on the alert, so only one-time tasks can be published in projects. If you need a person to carry out permanent job, you must place a paid vacancy in accordance with the rules of the site.

Looking for a freelancer on freelance.ru

Unlike the exchange we discussed above, on freelance.ru the account of the contractor and the employer is combined. So to speak, 2 in 1. This is convenient, since you do not need to create two accounts at once, it is enough to register once to use the site both as an employer and as a freelancer.

To post a project or a job, use the "Post Job" button.

You can also try an alternative method through the top menu. Click on the link “Hire a freelancer” and then select one of the options: “Post a task (project)” or “Add a job”.

Either way, a page opens with a form to fill out.

First, specify the name of the project. By analogy with the previous freelance exchange.

After that, we indicate the cost of the project and the deadline. As in the case of fl.ru, here you can check the “Negotiable” box so as not to indicate a specific budget.

Now you need to select payment options. There are currently 4 options available:

Without prepayment.
Possible prepayment.
Safe transaction.
The conclusion of the contract.

Next, one important point that allows you to open access to the project to all freelancers or restrict it to those who have not purchased a business account. We recommend unchecking this function, as among those who have not purchased payable service, there are also many worthy specialists ready to take on your project.

Just below you need to write in detail what you need to do as a freelancer. Describe the project itself, as well as the mandatory requirements. For example, "Send texts only in Microsoft Word with 100% uniqueness via TEXT.ru" or "The site should have a pop-up application form and a cost calculator."

Even lower it is possible to add up to 5 files, each of which should weigh no more than 5 MB.

After that, the time of the publication of the project is indicated. You can choose from one week to a month.

Then you need to check the box for familiarization and agreement with the rules and click on the "Post" button.

Freelance offers will start coming in soon. You will be able to communicate with them within the framework of the project, choose a contractor and start cooperation with him.

Posting a job is done in a similar way. Only the payment option is not indicated, but instead of a description of the task and requirements for the results of the work, it is necessary to indicate the scope of duties of the performer and the requirements for the candidate.

How else can you find a freelancer

As alternative way you can try to look for a specialist to work on the site in the freelance directory. Many exchanges have special filters that allow you to select criteria for specialization, employment, reviews, etc.

fl.ru has the most advanced filter. Here you can select freelancers according to many criteria.

As for freelance.ru, the filter is more modest here. But even with such a tool, you can easily find a contractor for your project.

As you can see, finding a freelancer to work on the site is not a problem! Follow our guide and you'll be fine!

People, choosing a product or service, in 55% of cases will turn to family members for information, in 54% - to friends, and the same number - to read reviews on the Internet. And 78% of respondents surveyed by Sprout Social said they would recommend a product or service to family and friends if they were satisfied with the quality. Therefore, ask friends, acquaintances or clients (if you used to work in the office) if they have people in mind who would need your services.

This advice is especially relevant for beginner freelancers: it is better to “practice” on more or less loyal people who will not leave bad reviews if they are not satisfied with the result.

"Pump" profile in social networks

If you like to post pictures with cats and memes, you will have your own approach to maintaining social networks. Alas, cats will not help you find new customers.

Indicate what you do, open contacts and the ability to send you messages. Potential client, when visiting your page, he must understand that he can order a service from you.

Write a post about what you do and ask your friends for reposts. Promise a pleasant (but preferably non-monetary) bonus for the client you bring.

Post more professional information- this way you will create an image of an expert and increase recognition, and therefore, give additional value to your services.

What else can be done:

create content for professional sites and communities;
devote 10-20 minutes a day to expert commentary - answer public questions from the target audience;
hold thematic webinars or live broadcasts.

Attract paid traffic to your resources - this way you will accelerate their growth.

If you have a website, do SEO optimization, use meta tags. Articles that rank well in the search results will bring organic traffic to the site. It is also useful to publish news from your field.

Register on the freelance exchange

It is better to register on several exchanges at once. Be prepared for high competition and the fact that sometimes you will have to pay a price for your services (so that the order is not “outbid”).

There are indeed many customers on the exchanges. And although there are also many performers, there are often not enough competent specialists who fulfill the agreed conditions, do the work efficiently, are responsible for mistakes and correct them.

If you approach your work conscientiously and responsibly, you can find a regular customer on the stock exchange and work with him for several years.

What is freelancing?

Today freelancing is most often called remote work in the Internet when you negotiate cooperation with customers and employers via the Internet. The convenience of freelancing lies in the fact that you yourself choose exchanges for finding work, look for clients and manage your time yourself.

The motto of freelancing for both beginners and experienced ones is freedom of choice, which is embedded directly in the very name of the work (free).

The ideal freelance job looks like this - you choose exchanges for job search, find customers, complete tasks and receive payment via the Internet. Money is usually sent to electronic wallets of WebMoney and YandexMoney systems. For beginners, the question of getting paid via the Internet is usually the most incomprehensible, but in fact, for freelancing, finding a permanent job or a source of regular orders is much more difficult.

How to establish permanent remote work?

For beginners, first of all, you should accurately determine what kind of work can you do online. This can be writing texts, posting on forums, SMM, text translations, moderation and site administration. Even if you are a specialist in design, photography, programming or other narrow profile, then for beginners it is advised to make maximum effort in the first time of work to achieve a high reputation.

Unfortunately, on the Internet, few people are ready to take a word that you are a highly qualified specialist, so examples of completed tasks collected in the portfolio and job reviews will tell you for you.

Kwork - convenient freelance services store: Tens of thousands of services, speed of execution and a money back guarantee - freelancing has never been so pleasant!

When looking for a permanent job, you will need good exchange for freelance, patience and diligence. Many employers may offer test, before starting work - do not refuse to complete trial tasks, but be careful and do not rush to perform large amounts of unpaid work. Keep in mind that any freelance exchange is home to scammers who simply lure jobs from beginners and do not pay for them. Try to work with employers with a high reputation on the site and good reviews.

How much can you earn with a freelance exchange?

Making money through the Internet is a wonderful thing, because everything is in the hands of the artist, even the size of it wages. You can take the first job that comes across and agree to low pay, or you can try find high paying jobs by spending more time and effort looking for a job. Also, earnings depend on the time that you are willing to devote to work, as well as on your productivity.

The advantage of freelancing is that you can work on weekends, and start earlier on weekdays, or vice versa, work until late.

If you want to earn more - just work more, if comfort and rest are more important for you, shorten the working day.
