Spotted a request you can crush? Here's the whole loop, from finding work to getting paid.
Read the request like a contract, because it functionally is one: the description defines what "done" means, and it's what a moderator reads if there's ever a dispute. If the brief is ambiguous, ask in chat before applying — or price the ambiguity in.
On any open request, write a short pitch: why you, and how you'd approach it. You can accept the listed price or propose your own — a thoughtful counter (higher or lower) signals you actually scoped the work. Keep it real; posters see every applicant side by side, next to your completed-job count, on-time rate, and ratings.
Pitches that win:
To get paid later you'll need a payout method. You can apply first, but set up payouts before you're picked so there's no delay. See .
Negotiating after applying: use a custom offer in the chat ("Make an offer" above the composer) — a formal price proposal the poster can accept with one tap. Accepted = it becomes your application's official price. Cleaner than haggling in prose, and the eventual pick charges exactly the agreed number.
Going on holiday? Flip on away mode in . Your profile and applications show an "Away" badge so posters calibrate expectations — nothing gets locked.
When a poster picks you, their money moves into escrow immediately — price plus their fee, charged to their card. That's your signal it's real and funded. You never start work on an unfunded promise here.
The chat for that request opens up so you and the poster can sort out details. Two rules:
Need to back out? Do it ASAP — backing out after being picked is a strike, but it's a smaller sin than ghosting, which also burns the poster's time and your on-time rate.
Submit through the delivery form: your files plus notes. What makes a delivery land first try:
At submission you'll see an unchecked box: "I'm okay making this delivery public on the discover feed." Tick it only if you want the piece showcased — it goes public only if the poster also opts in at acceptance. Default is private, forever, and you can revoke later from settings.
Every delivery gets a quick human moderation pass before it reaches the poster — same screen as requests get. Deliveries that break the are rejected and earn strikes.
The poster reviews and accepts → escrow releases to you, minus the 15% fulfiller fee. A $100 job pays $85; if you negotiated $200, you get $170.
Payout mechanics, timing, crypto, and tips: .
Deliver well, on time, and you build a track record that gets you picked more. Both sides rate each other after a job — double-blind, revealed simultaneously, so nobody's swayed by the other's score. Your profile carries your stars, completed count, on-time rate, and response rate. The long game is the whole game: .
