1. Finish your profile
A clear photo, a friendly bio and a few skills make a big difference. Add examples of your work, like designs, videos or a sample bug report, to your portfolio.
2. Be specific
Mention the details of the task in your offer, like the devices you'll test on or the style you'll design in. It shows you read it.
3. Price fairly
Check the cost guides and offer a fair price. You can build up as your reviews grow.
4. Reply quickly
Posters often accept one of the first good offers. Turn on notifications.
5. Get a badge
An ID verified badge builds trust before your first review. Quick tasks are a great way to get your first approvals while you wait for offers.
