Bidding on projects

After completing the bidding requirements, you can proceed to bid on projects:

 

     1.  Click Browse from the main menu and select Projects to view available projects requiring skills that match yours.

 

Filter options are available on the results page. You can filter projects by Type (fixed-price or hourly), Skills, Listing Types (upgrades), Budget, Location, and Languages. 

  

     2.  To view more details about the projects that you are interested in, simply click on them from the project list.

 

     3.  Read the project description thoroughly. When you are certain that you can do the work and that the project is right for you, start filling out the bidding form found below the project's description.

    

     4.  Enter your bid amount, delivery time and detailed proposal. You can include your experience, credentials and portfolio in your proposal. You can use the "Write my bid button" on the Describe your proposal section if you are subscribed to a Plus, Professional, or Premier membership. This will help you write a bid proposal automatically. You can still edit the proposal to be generated by the system.

 

     5.  On the Suggest a milestone part, you can propose a breakdown of the tasks needed to complete the project and indicate their corresponding Milestone Payments.

 

     6.  You can also sponsor your bid (optional).

 

     7.  Click Place Bid to submit your bid. For users not located in Australia who are bidding on Australian projects, you will be asked once to fill an Australian Tax Office Statement to declare that you do not have an Australian Business Number.

TIP: You can ask questions to the client via the Public Clarification Board which you can access below the Details tab of the project. The client can directly respond to your comments for your concerns to be clarified.
