Upwork

Great list of virtual project manager jobs

Upwork which was once called Odesk has also purchased Elance. It is a site based in the United States of America so all payments are in US Dollars. I have found this site to have the most amount of freelance virtual project manager jobs. The site is free to use and set up an account the way they make their money is by taking 20% of the money that you earn. They also charge a fee to the people posting the jobs. The thing to remember is when you apply for a job on Upwork add 20% to your cost. The good thing is when you do apply for a role it is very clear how much you will earn after deduction of the Upwork fees. I have found Upwork to be well run and the site is easy to use.

peopleperhour

High quality virtual project manager jobs

PeoplePerHour is based in Europe but the currency is set by the client. This site does not have as many freelance virtual project manager jobs as Upwork at the moment. The jobs that I have found on PeoplePerHour are of a high quality. It is a site that is worth checking on regular basis. The site is very well set up and is also easy to use. This site also takes a fee but does make it clear how much they will deduct from your earnings. I have also found that this a good site when you are new as they provide a refund guarantee for anyone that hires you. This is definitely a site you need to check on a regular basis.

freelancer

a site to keep an eye on

Freelancer is an Australian site so the currency is in Australian dollars. This is a site that is one to watch but unlike the two above you will need to pay some money to secure the jobs. While the site is free to use some jobs expect you to have passed the freelancer courses. These courses are basic language courses that Freelancer charge you to take. The fees are small so if you think you will get a contract through this site then they are worth doing. The jobs on here I have found to not be as high quality as PeoplePerHour. Also there are not as many freelance virtual project manager jobs as you will find on Upwork. I still recommend you keep an eye on this site for the odd good job that comes along.
