But like all industries its blighted by a number of problems which constraints it to reach the heights it seeks with so much potential.
The problems facing the freelancing industries involve both the entrepreneurs seeking the services and the freelancers themselves providing the sort services.
The problems faced by the entrepreneurs include:-

- Lack of transparency and systems put in place to know and avoid dodgy irreputable freelancers.
- Lack of a convenient means of payment which requires bank transfers that leads to accruing unnecessary charges and fees.
Problems that are faced by freelancers include:- - High fees charged by regular freelancing websites who collect up to 15-20% of their payout.
- Entrepreneurs who take advantage of freelancers and pay them meagre sums and sometimes even less than what was agreed upon before the commencement of work.
