Side-Hustle/Flexible/Remote/Freelance Work Forum

There are a few companies that hire attorneys for remote or project-based work, such as Upcounsel or InCloudCounsel, and also freelance platforms (Fiverr, Upwork) that allow attorneys to market their services. I am wondering if anyone has experience doing this type of work (pay, hiring process) and could comment on their experience?

Don't waste your time. If you're curious, just look at how old the postings on upcounsel are - they're still listing requests from a few years ago.

Fiverr and Upwork is a race to the bottom. Let's start with the lowest price usually wins, so you're cutting yourself thin. On top of that, clients are bad at communicating, they'll change the scope of the request, complain about anything they can. In the end, you're making next to nothing for far too much aggravation. If you need the extra money, moonlight at a bar. You'll probably make more

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense for Upwork and Fiverr. Have you heard of anyone working for InCloudCounsel?
