How to write a task that gets great offers

Start with a clear title

Say what needs doing in a few words. "Test my iOS app and report bugs" or "Design a logo for a coffee cart" gets better offers than "Need help". Members scan titles first, so make yours specific.

Describe the job

• What exactly needs doing, and how big the job is: how many testers, videos, words or items
• What you'll supply, like a test build, a brief, brand files or example links
• Any must haves, like a certain device, a language or experience with a tool
• For local jobs: access, stairs, parking or pets (share codes privately later)

Show, don't just tell

Screenshots, example links and photos answer most questions before they are asked. A quick screenshot of the screen, a reference video or a photo of the item leads to more accurate offers.

Set a fair budget

Check our cost guides to see what similar tasks cost. A realistic budget attracts experienced members. You can still accept a different offer.

Pick the right date

Choose a deadline or "I'm flexible". Online tasks can be done from anywhere, so flexible tasks often get offers from more people.

Keep contact details private

Don't put phone numbers, emails or private links in the description. Once you assign someone, you can chat privately and share access, files or the exact address.
