I'm reading the Millionaire FastLane and I'm on the chapter about Control.
I feel like freelance platforms fails the commandment if Control and Entry, and possibly Need.
There are so many freelancers joining platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, hoping to become the next Alex Fasulo.
There are more freelancers than there are clients.
You have no control over your income. These platforms take a chunk of your commissions.
Also, they could close down tomorrow.
And then what? There goes your source of income, if you have any.
It's interesting that people have recommended Fiverr and Upwork when I feel like those sites go against the commandment if Control.
Don't get me wrong. I feel the same way too. I'm on them myself.
Finding your own clients and providing value would be better than competing with thousands of cheap freelancers who won't do diddly squat for these cheap clients.
Or maybe it's a good stepping stone into something that you can scale.
Am I wrong? I'd like to know everyone's thoughts.
