Hey everybody, welcome into this new video, in today's tutorial let's see how we can
0:04
sign up totally for free here into the freelancer.com website the platform, and let's try to hire freelancers here so we
0:12
can find, or you want to find freelance jobs online you can totally do that as well, so in this tutorial let's dig into that, so let's begin
0:20
so the first thing I want to do guys, I'm going to leave you a link down below in the description
0:24
so you can go and sign up your account totally for free and
0:28
after you choose the link down below you're going to see something like this, continue with Facebook
0:32
or you can choose an email and a passcode, in my case I'm going to
0:36
provide an email and I'm going to create a passcode real quick
0:40
now it's going to be asking us for choosing a username, please note
0:44
that username cannot be changed once chosen, I strongly suggest you guys that if you're willing to look for a job or you want to hire someone
0:52
then you can create something that's close to your brand so for example I'm going to choose Whitesar, and since
1:00
this one is not available for a username, what I can do
1:04
is to choose OTD, and now it says select your account type, now if you're willing to hire someone, I'm going to choose I want to
1:12
hire, I'm going to show you how you can submit here your resume here in order to start to work as a freelancer, but first
1:20
we want to look for the hire option, and it's going to be
1:24
redirecting us into the tools that we can use for hiring people into our brand, so it says welcome to the world
1:32
let's choose freelancer marketing place, turn your dreams into reality, I want to get started
1:36
now it's going to be asking us if we want to post a job, we want to
1:40
browse some freelancer profiles, or we want to explore the showcase, so we can do these three things, so if I
1:48
choose the explore showcase, I want to open this link into a new tab
1:52
so what I'm going to see here is all the works that they've been creating the freelancers
2:00
so far, so if I love the work of someone I can contact them and see if they're willing to work with me
2:08
so for example if I'm looking for someone that can help me to
2:12
build some t-shirt design, I'm going to go and find inspiration from other
2:16
products, I'm going to go into t-shirt, and as you can see here are some illustrations
2:20
for example I'm going to choose this one, alright so this one has like 53
2:24
reviews, I can choose to check it out the user so this one is a graphic designer, NFT art
2:32
and illustrator, it has a batch of verified as a freelancer staff, and it has a batch of a preferred
2:40
freelancer, so they've contacted them a lot the job is really completed all on time, on budget
2:48
and repeat hire rate is 39%, so if you're willing to contact, you want to hire this one, and if you're
2:56
okay with that you can go and select your project, let's say for example
3:00
project one, and send a private message, now in here so here you have a template, I know it is your profile and would like to offer you
3:08
my project, we can't discuss any details in the chat, and if you want to hire
3:12
that for an hourly rate, you can choose your rate or fixed price
3:16
depending on what kind of project you want to make the trade for
3:20
now if you scroll a little bit down, you can see the portfolio items
3:24
of this designer, and there are a few certifications and top skills that we can check it out, and of course
3:32
here are the reviews of everyone that has hired this one before, and the experience is right in here, now what I want to do
3:40
is to scroll down and look for the second option, now the second option is to
3:44
browse freelancers profiles, so instead of choosing a specific creative design, let's
3:52
try to look only for, not going to the showcase page, we want to close this, I'm going to go into the
4:00
browse freelancers page, so we can go and look for top results of freelancers, and here into the
4:08
filters, let's say that I want to pay up to $5, I need someone who can get some skills
4:16
of a logo design, so this is going to be filtering me
4:20
exactly guys, the filter that I need to hire, so if I need
4:24
to hire someone like right away, I need to choose this option, this is online
4:28
so I know that these guys will be in contact right away when I send the message, so for example here I have this
4:36
Jasmine, I have MD, there are a lot of options that we
4:40
can choose, so let's say that I want to work with this guy
4:44
who is in the top results, so I choose this guy I once again want to check it out, all the
4:52
description, all the equipments, the service that this guy provides, portfolio of course, obviously the portfolio
5:00
the reviews, the experience, education, qualifications and if you want to choose certifications, as you can see this one is preferred
5:08
freelancer program, so if you are already convinced, you can once again select your project name, send a permit message, select your budget
5:16
and select the hire or invite to the project and the third option is to choose the post a job section
5:24
like you go specifically into the freelancer account to tell what you need to be done, but just before you dig
5:32
into this project, you want to go into your account, go into
5:36
freelancer.com once again, now in here you're going to locate your account, you want to go into settings and
5:44
in here you want to fill your profile details as much as you can
5:48
so this will be helping you to make yourself a little bit
5:52
more professional, to look more professional into the freelancer.com platform and after you fill all that information, after you
6:00
select here your profile and upload a great profile picture and the client profile, now as you can see, this is
6:08
how we're going to be looking when someone wants to see who's going to be hiring them, so it's really important guys to try to have
6:16
this as much as professional as you can, so once you dig into that
6:20
you can go into post a job, so the website is going to be asking me
6:24
choose a name for your project, so we have to tell them what we need done
6:28
so let's say for example I need someone to build me a website, so in here tell us more
6:36
about your project, you want to specify what kind of website, this is
6:40
website for my brand and here drag and drop any images or documents
6:48
that might be helpful in explaining your brief here, so I can
6:52
upload for example, I'm just going to be using this tool, as you can see it says we detected the following skills to suit your
7:00
project, so we can make like a contest, this is like a crowd source, so we can post a prize like
7:08
if someone makes like the best deal, the best website, I'm going to
7:12
give you $200, so everyone can enter and you can get them feedback, this is like
7:20
great for visual designers, but I want to choose a post a project
7:24
because I want to see all the candidates that apply to this job
7:28
so I'm going to choose this option, how do you want to pay, now whether you
7:32
want to pay by the hour, you want to pay like a fixed price, in my case
7:36
I am dealing with a website, so since this project actually involves to draft
7:44
I mean there will be lots of days when I'm going to be
7:48
doing some try and fall and try and fall and try and fall, so this is not like you just make
7:56
the website and it's completely done, I mean I need someone to make the website
8:00
I need someone to make some draft, to add creative ideas to keep constantly moving while we are working
8:08
so since I know that my website does not require like too much
8:12
I can stick around with the moderate or the basic one these are the details correct, so as you can see here is the project, here is my name
8:20
here is my budget, and now it was really really easy guys to post in here a project, now
8:28
anyone can start bidding on our project and you can see if this one is the right candidate for
8:36
our job, now as you can see we have already one proposal, so
8:40
as you can see we have, hope you are doing well, I already read your project
8:44
description, I'm ready to start working right now, 30 seconds ago and now we have
8:48
12 bids, so everyone is willing to work into your project, but
8:52
this is the very exciting part, like how do you know who to hire
8:56
right? so you can filter them by, of course must have verified freelancer, have a preferred
9:04
freelancer, have a really great overall rating for projects, now as you can see it can be really annoying
9:12
at this moment, because for example now I have messages, hey I'm interested into
9:16
your project, please send me a message so we can discuss more, so
9:20
there you have it guys, actually it's not that hard to look for someone
9:24
to hire here into a freelancer, just be really sure that you are
9:28
totally convinced, try to talk to them as much as you can into the messages
9:32
if you can make like a video call, a video chat before
9:36

9:40
secure, so there you have it guys, thank you so much for watching this video, don't forget
