How to find freelance projects and place a bid
In this article
Projects are one-off pieces of work. You can browse every project for free. To send a bid you use one bid credit from a bid plan, and you can add a boost so your bid is shown first.
Before you start
- The Freelancer / Influencer profile selected.
- At least one bid credit. Buy a plan in How to buy a bid plan and use bid credits and boosts if you have none.
