If you’d like to hire me through Upwork rather than directly please use these following steps:

Steps for a New Client to Hire me on Hourly Basis via Upwork

  • Sign Into Upwork: The client (you) needs to log into your Upwork account. If you don’t have an account yet, you will need to create one.
  • Post a Job (if they haven’t already):  In the job post, specify that they are looking for hourly work.
  • Invite or Select Me: After posting the job, you can invite me to apply for it.
  • Set Up a Contract: Click on “Hire Freelancer” next to the proposal or my profile. You’ll need to specify the job details and agree on an hourly rate.  I currently charge $65 an hour.  (This new contract will help seal this rate before it increases)
  • Be Clear on Your Workload Details: Be sure I have any needed details, such as schedule and deadlines, any needed content or images, to ensure a smooth collaboration.
  • I’ll Start Working on the Project Soon After: Once I’ve accepted the offer, the hourly contract is active, and I’ll start logging hours using Upwork’s time-tracking tool.

Thank you very much for trusting me with your project.  I look forward to helping you soon!

Very Sincerely,

Crystal Calhoun
