I am a programmer.
I was working on upwork.

But due to the violation of the upwork TOS, my account suspended and I couldn't recover it.
Now, I am looking for new platforms and online marketplaces.
I am not sure which one is the best.
Anyone suggest me new and best platform so I can get started again from the beginning?

Fiverr is pretty much the same alternative, though it doesn’t support crypto payments which I think upwork does.

Upwork also doesn't provide crypto payment.
And as I heard, Fiverr apply high service fee than upwork.
Is that right?

Right, I was thinking if LaborX which does support crypto. I’m not too sure what their fee is tbh - last time I used it was years ago but it should be somewhere around 15% per sale made, which is pretty steep.

LaborX?
I never heard it before.
Does it work like upwork or fiverr?
 
In my opinion, Facebook is currently a very good platform for making money. You should check it out.

You can check Fiver, It's a good platform, Also as you said you are a programmer so You can also go for Toptal, you have to pass some interview and technical rounds. It's tough to registered in Toptal but you can try.
 
For a programmer, Toptal (if you pass their rigorous screening) and Arc.dev are top-tier for high-paying contracts. Fiverr Pro and LinkedIn Services are strong for building a new profile from scratch. Also, directly network on LinkedIn and tech-specific Discord servers where decision-makers hire. Avoid repeating TOS violations.

what about doing content creation on socials to attract your ideal clients and set up a site to receive payments and host your portfolio?
 
Hey man, Sorry to hear about the Upwork suspension - that sucks and happens more often than people admit.
Since you're a programmer, here's a solid alternative you might not have tried yet: Check out CryptoGig.com - it's a freelance marketplace that runs on crypto payments and is pretty chill with developers. A lot of devs who got banned from Upwork or just want more freedom are moving there.
You can find gigs in programming, web dev, blockchain, automation, etc., and clients pay directly in crypto (no heavy restrictions like on traditional platforms).
It's growing fast and might be exactly what you're looking for if you want less corporate oversight.Other popular options people usually try after Upwork:
  • Freelancer.com
  • Toptal (if you're senior level)
  • Fiverr (for quick gigs)
But start with CryptoGig if you’re comfortable with crypto - many suspended devs like it there.
Good luck getting back on track, bro!

Fiverr and Freelancer are easiest to restart fast but more race to bottom. I seen better long term with LinkedIn outreach and direct clients more stable than platforms.
 
What was the reason for the suspension? Can you work with Freelancer.com? You can also get work from BHW if you have Jr.VIP or Premium Member.
