Is there still room for a further freelancer platform, that you could build in your favorite niche?
The top 3 platforms together represent an estimated revenue of $ 1.2 billion. That´s a lot of money, but in comparison to the total market size of $42.9 trillion, they are still small. They only “dominate” over 0.0003% of the total market. In this perspective, that’s nothing! And this means, that there is a free and unconquered market share of 99.9997%. So, the freelancer platform market is still in its beginning and there is lots of room for any kind of platform that you could even dream of. In fact, this is one of the greatest business opportunities in history! And you can get your share of the pie if you act now. So, keep on reading.
