Your profile is your most valuable resource. Clients browse your profile when deciding who to work with on a project, so it’s essential that you present yourself in the best way possible. Personalize your profile by sharing your career experience, define your skills and tell your own story. Show examples of your work in your portfolio, be descriptive and keep your profile up-to-date.

When a project takes your eye, complete a proposal and respond to the client. If you have questions – ask them, if you have suggestions – make them. Set realistic budgets and achievable milestones. It’s that easy! You’re protected from the moment your proposal is selected as clients pay a deposit into an escrow account, which is held safe until you complete the project.

Once you’ve completed a project, effortlessly raise an invoice directly from your project stream. Everything is prepared for you — all invoice data is automatically populated based on your project.Your client is notified instantly and once they authorize payment funds are moved from the project’s protected escrow account into your Lime Gig account.

Clients love completing projects through Lime Gig because they are engaged in the new skills and abilities you provide. During a project, you’ll uncover many insights to your client’s business and these are a great opportunity to develop lasting working relationships. The project stream is designed for you to manage ongoing and recurring work including auto-invoicing on set dates.

Lime Gig is a professional platform and clients expect professional experiences. Your client reviews you at the end of every project on the quality of their experience. Freelancers who are consistently rated highly benefit from higher rankings, increased visibility and greater success on the platform.
