Be prepared, though. When you post your project needs on an auction site, be clear about what you need and want. If your guidelines are vague, then you won’t receive accurate bid proposals from freelancers. Also be prepared to sort through many proposals to narrow down who you’d like to work with. It can be overwhelming to sift through many different proposals to find a freelancer that you like best.

Here are a few tips for finding a freelancer for your project:

• Make sure bid proposals provide as much detail as possible. Has the freelancer indicated accurate pricing, what he or she will provide, the turnaround time for delivery, and the terms of payment? Every bid proposal should include those basics.

• Keep an eye out for samples or portfolios. A good freelancer provides samples of his or her work for you to look over, so that you can review the style and ability of the individual.

• Does the freelancer communicate well? Doing business is about customer service as much as it is about skills and talent.

• Is the freelancer’s personality compatible with yours? This is important. If you don’t feel comfortable or enjoy discussions with the freelancer, you’re not going to be happy working with the person.

• Does the person show interest in your project? A freelancer who is interested and motivated will do a better job than someone who sounds bored or makes you feel he or she is doing you a favor. There are no favors in freelancing. You’re helping the freelancer earn income, and the freelancer is helping you build what you need. A client/provider relationship is about two people helping each other.

• Does the freelancer give the impression of being competent? Competency is important, and so is confidence. Anyone who sounds unsure probably isn’t skilled enough for your project.

• Is the freelancer polite, and does he or she have good manners? Does he or she thank you for the opportunity to bid and possibly work together?

• Last (but not least), find out what the freelancer’s policy is if you’re not happy with the work provided. You should have some form of recourse in case you’re unsatisfied with the final result.
