It often happens that when our clients don't know the exact price for the job they want to be done, they post a task with a nominal price, let's say 5$, and a note: \u201cApply, and we'll discuss the price\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

That is not the best tactics and let me explain why. <\/span><\/p>\n

The thing is freelancers usually filter their task lists not only according to the categories but also according to the price. They have a setting \u201c<\/span>Task Budget<\/span>\u201d which allows freelancers to set a minimum task price they are ready to work for. For example, one can choose \u201cI want to see tasks with prices from 10$ and higher\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

It makes sense that many experienced professionals who work mainly on expensive projects usually set this filter to quite a high minimum price. As a result, the freelancers that could be perfect for your job simply don't see your 5$ task as well as your note \u201cWe'll discuss the price\u201d. That is unproductive and quite sad! By the way, exactly the same thing happens when you choose a wrong category when posting a task. It's not just a formality. The task\u00a0category determines which freelancers will see your task.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what shall a client do when they don't know how much to pay for the task? <\/span><\/p>\n
