from 118 reviews Review It

PeoplePerHour is a website that connects small businesses with freelance workers from across the internet to help them complete small projects quickly and affordably.

According to PeoplePerHour.com, thousands of small businesses use them to hire remote, freelance workers to complete small projects, or just to work for a few hours a week. They claim this allows small businesses to stay flexible.

PeoplePerHour says this benefits small businesses because they can create virtual teams of people across the country – or even internationally – “without the red tape, cost, and bureaucracy of traditional employment.”

They have seven main categories of projects: IT/Programming, Marketing/Sales, Design, Admin/Secretarial, Writing/Translation, Accounting/Legal, or Other. Each category is broken into smaller, more specific categories so workers can something that works for them.

Both businesses and workers can register at PeoplePerHour.com for free. The website does take a small fee from workers, however, when they successfully book a job.

People people... I am currently finishing my 5th job using http://www.peopleperhour.com I have received the payments for all the jobs I have finished... I have a good ranking... It is either you and a possible lack of quality or you are just a competitor disguised as a comment poster... Cheap trick..

  I personally have completed about half a dozen web sites, a few logo designs. All with repeat work. No problems at all

Stay well clear of PPH, they are going nowhere. Having been a freelancer with them for a few months and won a couple of contracts I found them to be extremely inefficient and very poorly organized. I have been taken off the site on two occasions without so much as a by your leave, no explanation, nothing!! It appears that as soon as you request money from the client everything grinds to a halt, irrespective of the fact that the client had deposited funds. There are much better freelance sites out there with much lower fees and a lot less hassle getting paid. If PPH continue to treat their customers in this way then they will not survive and do not deserve to. My advice would be to use a more professional organization with a solid background.

  This entire page screams of competitors writing false reviews.
  
  Thus - the down side of non verified reviews.

I have been working as a freelancer at peopleperhour.com for quite some time...

In the area of translation, where I am active the most, I could say that the payments are higher than any similar site I have used. Also, as it is now, I can find better financial rewards than my work in real life.

If I was a client, I would also prefer it if I could, for a partial work.

i've given people per hour a fair rating because at least there are some jobs in there to be found....however what i do find quite soul destroying, being a small professional freelance business myself, is seeing interesting bread and butter projects outsourced for tiny amounts of money...amounts that would see my own business going bankrupt within months...it is not possible for me to see how this could be controlled, however i do not see it helping a struggling economy of small businesses in any way at all.....except perhaps to expand your portfolio....

  My wife and I are considering starting a website like this that only allows freelancers and buyers from the US. The whole problem is globalization: it's financial suicide for the world's population. If country's would become more closed off to one another and become more self sufficient, things would drastically improve.
  
  I just tried joining the site and my application got denied: they asked me to please remove my website details and resubmit.
  
  So I resubmitted with this message:
  
  I work hard and I deserve my exposure.
  
  Remove my website details?
  
  No way. Go f yourself, PPH.
