Freelance Work Exchange, aka, Go Freelance, is Anything but Free!

Why You Should Avoid Go Freelance.com like the Plague

A year and a half ago when I first began looking for opportunities to make money online I signed up with a company called The Freelance Work Exchange. According to the ads which were all over the internet, I could pay $2.95 to get access to 1000's of online freelance jobs, including freelance writing gigs which as a writer I was most interested in. After the first month the monthly subscription price went up to $29.95.

At first it seemed like a legitimate opportunity, and since I had made up my mind that I was going to find a way to work from home, hopefully as a writer, I initially figured a monthly investment of nearly thirty dollars was worth it. Boy, was I wrong! In fact I ended up wishing I had researched this opportunity more thoroughly. Like many of the other opportunities I had paid money to try and then lost my cash such as "get paid to stuff envelopes" and others, this one was no different.

One of the main problems with the Freelance Work Exchange or Go Freelance as they are now calling themselves is that many of the job listings can be found other places for free. Yup, you heard right, many of the jobs can be found elsewhere for free! Imagine my disgust when I began finding the same jobs listed at the Freelance Work Exchange website on places like sologig.com and sunoasis.com. So, I was paying $29.95 a month to get job opportunities that others were getting for FREE! As you can imagine I was pretty upset when I realized what was going on.
