E-lancing
E-lancing, also known as e-labour, is the practice of taking freelancing work through online job offers. E-lancing websites are hubs where employers place tasks, which freelancers from around the world bid for. Some e-lancing websites act as intermediaries for payment, paying the freelancer directly after work is completed, to mitigate the risk of non-payment. Employers posting work on these websites set the price they are willing to pay for the task being done.
