Buying a freelance service from the Services Catalog
Are you tired of posting a project for freelancers to apply directly? We have a new feature in place that gives the freelancer an opportunity to list his/her skills as a product for sale. Try it today. You will love it.
EXAMPLE: Instead of posting a project to hire a web developer, the web development can post a service as a product with description matching the website project you want to hire for. The freelancer will list them in packages and set different fixed amounts for whichever package you want to purchase. With this feature you eliminate the hassle of having to look through multiple applications before hiring a professional. Also reviews are made on these services to boost confidence and visibility on the part of clients.
