Getting started on hitswork is simple, and it’s all about setting up your profile, finding the right freelancers (or job if you’re a freelancer), and using the platform’s tools to ensure a smooth experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Create an Account
Sign Up: Go to Hitswork website and sign up with your email address, Google, or Apple account.
Choose Your Role: Select whether you’re a freelancer or a client. If you’re looking for freelancers, you’ll create a client account; if you’re a freelancer offering services, create a freelancer account.

2. Set Up Your Profile
Freelancer Profile: Fill in your personal details, including your professional title, skills, and experience. Add a professional photo, write a compelling summary, and include your portfolio.
Client Profile: If you’re hiring freelancers, add details about your business or projects. You’ll need to provide some basic information to help hitswork recommend the best freelancers for your needs.

3. Browse or Post Jobs
If You’re a Freelancer: Use the “Find Work” section to browse job listings. Look for projects that match your skills and interests. Customize your proposals for each job, showcasing how your experience makes you the right fit.
If You’re a Client: Go to the “Post a Job” section. Add a description of your project, the required skills, and your budget. You can also search for freelancers using specific filters and invite them to apply for your job.

4. Create a Job or Bid on One
Post a Job (Clients): Write a detailed job description, including your project’s scope, timeline, and payment structure (hourly or fixed-price). You can also add attachments (files or documents) to clarify the requirements.
Submit Proposals (Freelancers): When applying for jobs, write a personalized cover letter that explains why you’re the best fit for the job. You can also attach samples of previous work.

5. Review and Hire
For Clients: Review proposals or talent profiles. Once you find the right freelancer, you can invite them for an interview or hire them directly.
For Freelancers: Once your proposal is accepted, discuss details with the client, agree on the scope, and confirm the project terms.

6. Start Working
Hourly Contracts: Use hitswork’s time-tracking tool to log hours worked. You’ll automatically take screenshots and track time spent on the project.
Fixed-Price Contracts: Set milestones for the project. Both you and the freelancer agree on specific deliverables, and payments are made once those milestones are completed.

7. Communicate Effectively
Messages: Use the hitswork messaging platform to communicate with clients or freelancers. Keep all communication on the platform to ensure security and compliance.
Video Calls: You can also set up video calls via hitswork to discuss project details in real-time.
Feedback: Regularly give and request feedback to ensure that expectations are met and to improve communication.

8. Manage Payments
For Clients: Release payments for milestones or hours worked. hitswork provides secure payment protection, including an escrow system for fixed-price contracts.
For Freelancers: Once the work is approved, payments are processed and transferred to your hitswork account. You can then withdraw funds via various payment methods.

9. Track Your Project
Dashboard: hitswork provides you with a dashboard that allows you to track progress, communicate with freelancers, and see your project status all in one place.
Mobile App: If you need to manage things on the go, the hitswork mobile app helps you manage communications, track time, and even check payments.
