This guide walks you through the entire process from posting your first job to managing ongoing project work.

Step 1: Creating Your Job Post

•Navigate to 'Job Posting' in the main menu
•Click 'Post a New Job' to start
•Write a clear, descriptive job title (e.g., 'React Developer Needed for Dashboard UI')
•Provide detailed description of the work required
•List specific skills and expertise needed
•Set your budget: Specify per-minute rate you're willing to pay (e.g., $2-5/min)
•Add job category and relevant tags for better expert matching
•Set estimated project duration or ongoing availability needs

💡 Writing Effective Job Posts

✓Be specific about deliverables and expectations
✓Include technical requirements, tools, or platforms
✓Mention preferred communication style (chat, calls, screen sharing)
✓Specify time zone preferences if relevant
✓Set realistic per-minute rates based on expertise level needed
✓Include any deadline or milestone information
✓Mention if this is a one-time project or ongoing work

Step 2: Reviewing Expert Applications

•Receive notifications when experts apply to your job
•View all applications in your Job Dashboard
•Review each expert's profile, bio, and expertise
•Check their ratings, reviews, and past work experience
•Read their application message and proposed rate
•Use FREE chat (10 messages) to ask questions before hiring
•Compare multiple applicants to find the best fit
•Shortlist candidates for further discussion

Step 3: Hiring an Expert

•Select the expert you want to hire from applicants
•Click 'Hire' or 'Accept Application' button
•Confirm the agreed per-minute rate
•Set work session parameters if needed
•Expert receives notification and can start work
•Work session monitoring begins automatically
•Both parties have access to FREE chat for collaboration
•You can hire multiple experts for the same job if needed

Step 4: Work Session Monitoring

•View real-time work session activity in your dashboard
•See when experts are actively working on your project
•Track total time spent and current session duration
•Monitor billing in real-time (per-minute charges)
•Use FREE chat to communicate during active sessions
•Request video/audio calls at expert's call rate when needed
•Payment protection ensures you only pay for actual work done
•View work session history and detailed time logs

Step 5: Communication During Work

•FREE chat included during all active work sessions
•No video/audio required for basic collaboration
•Share files, links, and feedback via chat
•Request screen sharing for reviews or demos
•Optional: Start video/audio call from work session (billed at expert's call rate)
•Set expectations and check-ins through messages
•Provide feedback and request revisions as needed
•All communication is logged for reference

Step 6: Payment Protection

•Payment protection ensures you only pay for work actually completed
•Monitor work sessions in real-time to track progress
•If work is unsatisfactory, you can revoke expert's access
•Revoking access changes status from 'approved' to 'revoked'
•You're not charged for future work after revocation
•Past work that was completed is still billed
•Platform fee: 20% (you pay total, expert receives 80%)
•Transparent billing with detailed time logs

Understanding Billing

•You pay the agreed per-minute rate for work sessions
•Billing is calculated per second, rounded to nearest minute
•Expert receives 80% of rate, platform keeps 20%
•Example: $3/min rate → You pay $3, expert earns $2.40, platform $0.60
•FREE chat during work sessions (no per-minute charge)
•Video/audio calls billed separately at expert's call rate
•View detailed billing breakdown in transaction history
•Payment is deducted from your prepaid balance automatically

Managing Ongoing Projects

•Track all active jobs in your Job Dashboard
•View work session summaries and time spent
•Mark jobs as completed when finished
•Leave reviews and ratings for hired experts
•Rehire experts for future projects easily
•Export time logs and billing reports
•Set job status: Active, Paused, Completed
•Manage multiple jobs and experts simultaneously

💡 Best Practices for Job Posters

✓Start with smaller tasks to test expert compatibility
✓Use FREE chat to vet experts before hiring
✓Set clear milestones and deliverables
✓Monitor work sessions regularly for quality assurance
✓Provide timely feedback to keep projects moving
✓Build relationships with reliable experts for future work
✓Leave honest reviews to help other questers
✓Consider offering slightly higher rates for urgent work
