The Good

• Variety of workers

So the great thing about PeoplePerHour is their variety of workers.  You can find quick freelance work from virtually anywhere around the world.  PPH is a UK company in London so the selection of work may be a bit more diverse than other sites you may connect to in the Unites States.

The Bad

• Quality of listings

One of the downfalls with PPH are their quality of listings. For example their search marketing yielded hundreds of postings from people offering super budget friendly services; Unfortunately most of their services alluded to grey and black hat methods. It's important to note that most people are trying to scale their services so they can service as many clients as possible. This causes freelancers to cut corners, automate, and manipulate certain methods. So at the end of the day, it's hard to know exactly what your getting until you actually work on hiring a freelancer. Resources or info about the freelancer is limited through their listings, but you're sure to get answers you need when you actually make contact with your freelancer.

The Bottom Line

Overall, PeoplePerHour is a decent place to check out if you are looking to hire out a quick freelancer for a project.  Pick from many skilled freelancers in many different fields.  Another thing to consider with PPH is the level of work you get done is really determined by your research into the work you are hiring out, and following up with the service to see that your needs are met. Not all of the sellers on PPH give a clear vision of there work. So if you have any question about what you'll be getting be sure to save your questions for the actually freelancer. Don't pay for a service unless you feel confident, that you'll be getting what you need.
