How to Guide

Step-by-step process for Freelancers and Employers

How to Create an Account

  1. Click Register (fastest method: Sign up with Google)
  2. Choose Freelancer (you can switch roles later if needed)

Profile Setup Checklist

  1. Upload a Profile Photo (Required)
  2. Add a Clear Tagline/Profession
  3. Write a Strong Description
  4. Choose Your Skills/Tags Carefully (Critical)
  5. Add Portfolio, Resume, Experience (Recommended)

Creating Services

Services are pre-defined offerings with: title, description, price, delivery timeframe, and optional tiers (basic/standard/premium).

Example service:

  • Title: “Basic Graphic Design Package”
  • Deliverables: “10 pieces of artwork”
  • Price: $1,000
  • Delivery: 1 month

Clients can purchase/hire directly from your service listing

Applying for Projects

  1. A client posts a project (title, budget, timeline, category, description)
  2. Clients can invite freelancers to bid based on matching skills/tags
  3. You receive a notification (and email backup if you don’t log in)
  4. You submit your bid amount, your proposal message, and optional milestones (if enabled by the project)

Milestones

For larger jobs, you can break work into parts (milestones) and align payments to each stage. This helps keep scope clear, reduce misunderstandings, and make long projects easier to manage.

Reviews and Ratings

After a job is completed, employers can leave reviews/ratings. Reviews are tied to actual hiring activity (not random public comments), which supports credibility.

Getting Paid

Withdrawals can be sent to your chosen payout method/bank account.

Payout timing: a short processing window may apply to confirm completion / allow dispute window. Typical timeframe: 5–7 business days, with a best-case scenario sometimes faster.

How to Hire (Option 1: Post a Project)

  1. Switch your profile to Employer (or register as Employer)
  2. Click Create a Project
  3. Add project details
  4. Review suggested freelancers and invite them to bid

Tip: The clearer the project brief, the better the bids you receive.

How to Hire (Option 2: Buy a Service Package)

If a freelancer has a service listed (package), you can purchase/hire directly through that service.

Write a Good Project Brief

Include:

  • What you need done (deliverables)
  • Deadline / timeline
  • Budget range
  • Tools/platforms involved (WhatsApp, email, Google, etc.)
  • Any reference files/images/examples

Brief template:
“Hi, I’m looking for help with _____. I need it done by _____. My budget range is _____. Tools involved: _____. Please confirm availability and cost.”

Milestones

For bigger projects, milestones keep the job organized and reduce disputes by clarifying deliverables per stage.

Reviews and Ratings

Reviews are tied to actual hiring activity on the platform (not random public comments), which supports credibility when hiring.
