How WDOYN works
No bidding wars. No 20-field job forms. You describe what you need in plain words — the right people come to you with offers.
If you need work done
From idea to hired, usually inside 24–48 hours. Always free to post.
-
1
Describe the need
Write 3–8 sentences: what “done” looks like, your budget range, deadline, and anything you already have (brand assets, a site, references). No account needed to start typing.
We handle the sorting. WDOYN detects the category and sub‑category from your text — you just confirm it.

Offers come to you
Freelancers who match your category see the need in their feed and send an offer: a short pitch, a fixed price in your currency, and delivery time. Most needs get their first offers within a day.
No race to the bottom. There's no public bidding thread — freelancers can't undercut each other in real time, so offers reflect real scope, not panic pricing.

3
Compare & message
Review offers side by side — price, timeline, the freelancer's headline, rating and past reviews. Open a private chat with anyone to ask questions before you commit.
Shortlist freely. Talking to three people costs you nothing and no one else sees it.
-
4
Accept & work
Accept the offer that fits. The need moves to in progress, the other offers are politely declined, and you coordinate the work directly in messages.
Close the loop. When it's done, mark it complete and leave a review — that's what builds the freelancer's reputation for the next client.

If you do the work
Set up once, then answer needs from a feed built around your skills. No bidding fees while we're getting started.

Build your profile
Pick 1–3 categories and the specific services you offer, add a one‑line headline, a short bio and portfolio links. This is the only thing that decides which needs you see.
One account, both sides. Already hiring on WDOYN? Switch to “Working” in the header — same login, same reputation.

2
Watch your feed
New needs in your categories show up in Find work. Filter by sub‑category, see the budget bracket, how many offers a need already has, and how fresh it is.
Speed helps. Needs with few offers and a recent post date are your best shot.
-
3
Send a sharp offer
One clear pitch: why you're a fit, a relevant example, a fixed price and a realistic timeline. One offer per need — no editing wars, no spam. If the client has questions they'll message you.
Write for the client, not the algorithm. Specifics about their project beat a generic bio every time.
-
4
Get hired & build reputation
If they accept, you agree terms in chat and start. Deliver well, get a review, and your rating and hire count show on every future offer and on your public profile.
Reviews compound. The first few great ones make the next needs much easier to win.

|---|---|
| Long structured job form before you can post | Write it in plain words; we detect the rest |
| Public bidding thread, prices race downward | Private offers — priced to scope, not to the last bid |

| Connects / credits to apply | Free to post and free to offer today |

What you can get done
If a real person can do it, you can post it. The main areas:
What it costs
WDOYN is free while we grow: posting needs, browsing, and sending offers all cost nothing, and there's no commission on hires today. Later we plan a small service fee on completed projects and optional paid visibility for freelancers — announced with clear notice first. Payment is arranged directly between client and freelancer for now; escrow is on the roadmap. Full pricing →
FAQ
How fast do offers arrive?
Most needs get their first offers within a day; well‑scoped needs in busy categories often within a few hours. A clear budget and deadline speed it up.
Do I have to accept an offer?
No. There's no obligation. If nothing fits, you can message people for clarification, edit and repost, or just let it expire.
How are payments handled?
During this early phase, client and freelancer arrange payment directly between themselves. Built‑in escrow and milestone payments are planned.
Is my need public?
Open needs are visible on WDOYN and to search engines so the right freelancers can find them. Your messages and the offers you receive are private to you.
Can I hire and also work as a freelancer?
Yes — one account. Use “Switch to Working / Hiring” in the header. The first time you switch to Working you'll complete a short freelancer profile. Your needs and offers stay in separate places; your public profile only shows your freelancer side.
What stops a bidding war?
There's no live, public bid thread. Each freelancer sends one private offer priced to the scope you described. You compare on value, not on who blinked last.
How many offers can a freelancer send?
One per need. It keeps the client's shortlist readable and pushes freelancers to write something specific.
