The percentage is truly important so that they will be able to maintain the platform and at the same time they should make sure that the percentage is not too muchof course the percentage they remove is very important for them to keep on maintaining the platform.

I have just gone back to Fiverr myself to sell gigs and at the moment since coming back, I have not had any orders at the moment. I remember when I used to use it, they did take a fee but it never seemed to be too much if I am honest so I am not sure if something may have changed since then. I also use SEOClerks as well but again I have just gone back there again and a lot has changed since I went back so I am not sure how much of a cut they take from your services.
I don't mind if a 20% cut is taken as that is understandable if I am honest due to them providing the place for you to advertise your service and for people to find you. If any more than 20% then I would probably look for somewhere else to advertise my gigs.
of course the percentage shouldn't be too much because people actually spend time to do the jobs. There are people who can stay indoors for some days especially when they have loads of gigs to do.The percentage is truly important so that they will be able to maintain the platform and at the same time they should make sure that the percentage is not too much
Ooh that seems to be quite cool and at the same time, some people may complain that they take too much so I think it depends on individual interest and what we feel.Fiverr usually take s$1 out of the $5 earnings of freelancer. They take it as a cut to make sure that they run the business. I am not sure how much does the fourrer charges.
If a particular platform or a freelancing website is taking 20% as a commission out of the amount of money received for getting a job on their platform. I don't think it is humongous.Ooh that seems to be quite cool and at the same time, some people may complain that they take too much so I think it depends on individual interest and what we feel.
I support your statement because I have worked on many platforms that claimed to deduct fair amount of money from the pay i received but the amount of money deducted was up to 35% in total which is too high.If a particular platform or a freelancing website is taking 20% as a commission out of the amount of money received for getting a job on their platform.

Yes it is not too muchIf a particular platform or a freelancing website is taking 20% as a commission out of the amount of money received for getting a job on their platform. I don't think it is humongous.
Making money through the so called freelancing is a nice idea, but only if you have the necessary skills to do that.Freelancing sites that takes huge cult of your money are avoidable . There is absolutely a way you can avoid them and that is why it is necessary to involve yourself in serious research to ensure that you did not fall victim of such platforms at all cost.
20% or 30% is what most platform usually take from the earning of their members. Platforms like Amazon Kindle usually take 30% and give publishers 70%.If a particular platform or a freelancing website is taking 20% as a commission out of the amount of money received for getting a job on their platform.

People sometimes forget that those freelancing platforms have staff that they will pay and that the website need maintenance. If not for freelancing platforms most of the people from lower tier countries won't be able to work with client from top tier countries because of trust issue.I think so too. Giving them 20% when withdrawing won't hurt so much. If it were not for them, you would struggle to get clients and those jobs. So I don't see that percentage as a massive cut at all.
Despite that, it is very good to choose a platform that does not cut huge amount from your pay . However, it is good to always ensure that you pick a platform with reasonable charges .If you are not comfortable with how much a platform takes as it's own share for giving you a platform to advertise your skill, then you should stop working on the platform.
Unfortunately, i do not know any alternative freelancing sites that do not take a big cut out of one's earnings. I never even knew fiverr takes a huge cut out of one's earnings as i don't work there.I used to use Fiverr and some other sites, but these days I don't really bother much with those sites anymore. Especially fiverr since they take too huge of a cut from your earnings. So I was wondering if you guys know of freelance sites/gig sites that pay you much better and don't take such a massive cut. I'm fine giving a little cut, but some of these sites take too much for the work you do. And honestly some of these sites don't even push your gig/work out there, so you're essentially paying them for nothing.
Any suggestions for alternatives?
