- Also, it’s important to manage billing and payments on time.
- Hourly jobs: We will automatically invoice you for hourly contracts based on your agreement with the expert.

More tips for job success
We recommend you follow these steps for your job:
- Project details: Ensure you share a detailed project summary when you hire an expert contractor.
- Completion date: Discuss the target delivery date with the expert.
- Fixed-rate jobs/Milestones: Break your job into multiple project posts and set reasonable payment milestones if you’re collaborating on a large project (i.e., 25% for research and initial concepts, 35% for the first draft, and 40% for the finalized design, etc.).
Remember that we hold your payment for your projects until you confirm project completion and accuracy guarantee for your job.
