The Cost of Doing Business: Why Freelance Marketplaces Hold You Back

Freelance marketplaces claim to offer “security” and “trust,” but what they really provide is a one-size-fits-all system that’s rigid, expensive, and impractical. The cost of doing business varies—state laws, banking fees, and international regulations all play a role. Instead of adapting, marketplaces average it out or set fees sky-high, leaving you paying way too much for fake trust.

Let’s face it—collaboration shouldn’t be this complicated. There’s an easier way. One where you control your deals, keep more of what you earn, and build relationships on your own terms.
