Freelancing at last

Project Fizz Press Release:

There are many freelancer sites out there all offering the same thing, a one place stop to find freelancers or projects. But at Project Fizz we've done our research and found that many employers and freelancers were expecting more, as they rightly should.

We've found that many freelancers often feel under-valued and un-motivated when everything has an emphasis on price with many freelancers local to employers who offer the same services often find that work is outsourced to other countries to get 'cheaper quotes'. There will often be an emphasis on price in an ever changing environment but that's not always the case; employers are also after a high quality and standard of work which is not always guaranteed when outsourcing work for a variety of reasons.

Project Fizz doesn't emphasis price for a project, an employer can only specify a budget range and all freelancer bids are hidden from one another to ensure that an accurate and concise bid is received on every project, not one that was placed to under-cut another freelancer. We believe that our USP will ensure happy parties from both sides. Freelancers submit a cost that they are realistically happy to do the work for and employers will generally receive a higher level of work as a result due to the fact that no cost cutting is tried by freelancers to just win the project and quickly finish the work.

We use a unique way in which freelancers make bids on projects. When signing up to the website, all freelancers receive free bids in order to test the success of the website without risk. When a proposal is placed on a project regardless of being awarded or rejected one (1) bid is used for a standard proposal and two (2) for a premium proposal, this will also ensure that the freelancer uses their bids wisely and will generally result in a more complete and professional proposal to tempt the employer to accept their proposal. This will eliminate poor and unworthy proposals being submitted to employers.

It’s a completely free service for employers to post projects, no percentage of the overall project value is taken and we don’t charge a flat rate per listing as per other job portals. Instead, freelancers simply purchase bid packs as and when needed to continue bidding on projects, we have a wide range of bid packs on offer which are easy to purchase through PayPal.

When it comes to paying the freelancer the final sum of the project value we offer the tools for freelancers to stipulate their payment terms and preferred method of payment. Project Fizz don’t hold funds in any sort of account and make money at your expense; freelancers and employers have been and will always be able to communicate with one another without the need for 3rd party intervention. Project Fizz also offers automatic invoicing as downloadable PDF's which can be downloaded by both parties and save time on project management and accounting.

If you’re an employer looking to post a new project or a freelancer looking for additional work then try out Project Fizz, we’re sure you’ll be happy with our services!
