* golden membership will be now $19.95/month instead of $12(current rate). :(
* Project fee will be cut from project winner(service provider) of amount 3% instead of 0%(before, golden members didn't have to pay this fee,only standard members did). :(
* golden members will get opportunity to update their profile of job category up to 50 categories instead of 25(current).[The only good news for us :)]
They are increasing the fee because of their rapid growth now a days. They are now 800th-900th traffic rank on Alexa. this is the second highest among freelance sites i experienced, just after elance which is 700th of traffic rank, but specially for companies & fees are too high.
Also, the deadline for the logo contest is very near(20th November midnight). If you have design skills, you can register there & submit a design for their logo. The best logo designer will get a $15,000 as the winning prize.
Also, frelancer.com is becoming popular and popular day by day for Bangladeshi freelancers & software companies(i have seen a lot of companies from Bangladesh growing through getafreelancer in the last 1 year).
Another major benefit is that, it now supports portfolio system only for 'golden members'. They have added a new tab in the account management section, where golden member can upload screen shot, categorize & add description of their works in a full portfolio style. These will be also visible on bid page.
Although the fees are increased, but still, its the lowest fees i have seen on freelance sites than other popular sites like elance,odesk,rentacoder etc. So, wish freelancer.com a best wishes, hope this grow more and more day by day. Also, don't forgot to checkout my gaf profile so that, if you are looking for web development service related to my skills, hire me on freelancer.com!!!!!
