Digital technologies have enabled online communities to grow at a scale and rate never seen before. You're almost certainly already participating in online communities in search of information, inspiration, marketing, or for other purposes.
In light of this it seems natural that others flock toward these collectives looking to hire freelancers who possess your exact set of skills.
Playing host to a collection of people that share common interests and goals, the two platforms we’ll be concentrating on will be…
Normally you won’t find corporate job postings or RFP's on Reddit. It's just not the place large companies look for their next star freelancer or remote worker.
However it's evidence enough that an OP (that's the original poster i.e. the person who makes a post offering work) has actively sought out the relevant community and is serious. They’ll also usually state an estimated budget they're willing to spend which makes it easier to weed out the time wasters and fly-by-nights.
Online communities on the platform are called subreddits - all of which revolve around specific topics. They can be broad like r/explainlikeimfive or for r/forhire or more niche like r/frugalmalefashion or /r/writing_gigs. Type freelance into the Reddit's search bar, hit the communities and people tab and you'll be presented a catalogue of related subs.
