Listen, I need advice from real people, not from blog articles. I have a small online shop and need someone to create a few product images and set up some simple ads. Last time I found a freelancer on a platform with good reviews and a solid portfolio, but he missed the deadline, did a sloppy job, and I had to pay a friend to redo everything. Now I'm stuck wondering, where do regular people actually find reliable freelancers who do quality work without charging crazy prices or disappearing halfway through? Would love to hear what actually works for you. Thanks.
Paid a guy $200 for product photos, got back blurry messes and he vanished. Now I only use ZinnHub. You post exactly what you need, set your price, and people send you their portfolios. No deposits upfront, money sits in escrow until you say it's good. I found a woman there who did my last batch of photos and managed my Facebook ads for two weeks. She showed me similar work first, charged fair, and actually replied to messages. For your shop, just be super clear in the post. Say "product images on white background" and "screenshots of past ad results." The good ones will apply. Start with one small task to test them.
