In my recent two posts on Freelancer, I had been written about the way of creating and arranging Freelancer profile and project bidding system. It’s just a start up of yours on freelancer but you need to learn many more for the betterment of freelancer platform. In my series posts of freelancer today I go to show the third parts of freelancer tutorials, today it’s about the details introduction of freelancer menus, let move...

 See the all freelancer menus at a glance:

Freelancer has up to 10 menus. But all are not important for you at the same time and even round on your freelance career. So, that here I go to describes about the main menus.

1. Post Project: By using this menu you maybe have the permission to post a project with some minutes. Each project has a fixed refundable charge of $5. To post a project go to Post project page, put desire project name, type, description, budget, time and features then click Finish. After some moments your project will automatically be published.

2. Browse Jobs: You will get 4 sub menus available under this menu. These are:

i. Latest Projects: You can find out newly published projects here.

ii. Latest Featured: When you would go to post project, you have an option in bottom section of project page “Optional Features”, here you can see 4 types of features. If you want to include your project as featured so then your need to check mark “Latest Feature”. For this function, you should be charged.

iii. Latest Full Time: This type of job is as like as job system. Whenever someone does job from 9am to till 5pm it’s called an office time. This feature gives you this opportunity to do full time job with your buyer. To bargain this job you need to know the desire subject very well and as a specialist. Whenever buyer select you, he or she must analyst you that you are able t do job with them or not. If this is ok then you will be selected and getting paid $750-$1000 or more each month. :D
