Define what you need
Before you begin your search, it helps to clarify your project details. Things to think about:
What is the objective of the work? (e.g., “I need a logo”, “I need blog content”, “I need a mobile app prototype”)
What is your scope of work? (deliverables, expected style, file formats, number of revisions)
What is your budget range and timeline?
Do you have any preference for experience level, language(s), location or work style?
Having this clarity will make your search more efficient and your interactions smoother.
Search for relevant Offers and freelancers
On Osdire you can use our marketplace to browse freelancer Offers.
Here’s how:
Go to the search bar at the top and enter keywords relevant to your project (for example, “WordPress website”, “social media graphics”, “SEO blog posts”).
Alternatively, browse via the category menu: choose the broad discipline (e.g., Design & Creative, Writing & Translation, Development) then a sub‐category that fits. Please note that you can still search within categories.
Once you have a list of results, you can refine through further searching, or using filters such as:
Budget (minimum/maximum)
Delivery time (standard vs quick turnaround)
Service types
Freelancer rating / reviews
Freelancer language / location (if important to you)
Open individual freelancer offer pages and review:
Offer description: what exactly is included?
Profile/displayed work: better understanding of who they are, their style and quality of work.
Review ratings from previous buyers.
Delivery time and what’s included (e.g., number of deliverables, file types, revisions).
Short-list and communicate
Once you find a few services or freelancers you like, do the following:
Use Osdire’s list feature to Short‐list 4-5 profiles that fit your requirements most closely. You can share this list with others.
Use Osdire’s Inbox / Messaging tool to contact the freelancer.
In your message you can:
Introduce your project briefly.
Confirm they are available for your timeline.
Ask for clarifications: “Do you deliver source files?”, “What’s your preferred file format?”, “How many revisions are included?”
Share any reference materials (branding guidelines, competitor examples, mockups).
Use the communication to assess responsiveness, professionalism, understanding of your request, and whether their style matches your vision.
Choose the freelancer and place your order
After you are comfortable with one freelancer:
On the freelancer’s service page select the package that matches your needs.
Double‐check what is included (deliverables, timeline, revisions).
Confirm your budget is appropriate for your scope.
Select any extra services needed for your project.
Click Proceed & Pay to proceed to checkout.
Payment will be held securely until you accept the final work (see payment protection for how we keep your money safe on Osdire).
Tips to find the best match
Be very open and specific about your project in initial communication: the clearer you are, the more likely you’ll get a freelancer whose style and deliverables align.
Don’t just pick the cheapest option: check their works, reviews, and included deliverables.
Prioritise freelancers who ask questions and clarify your needs — that often signals professionalism.
If delivery time is important, confirm it up front and ensure the timeline is realistic for the scope.
Keep all communication and the order process within Osdire (don’t move off‐platform) to keep your engagement safe and eligible for support coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request a custom quote from a freelancer?
Currently Osdire does not offer a bespoke “get a quote” request system. We recommend you search for an Offer that closely matches your need, contact the freelancer to confirm the scope and expectations, and once the order starts, your freelancer can offer you custom extras that cater to your needs.
What if I can’t find a freelancer whose Offer exactly fits my needs?
What if I can’t find a freelancer whose Offer exactly fits my needs?

What budget should I set?
A: Set a realistic budget aligned with your scope. Offers that seem extremely low cost may compromise on quality or include fewer deliverables. Consider the value of the outcome, not just the cost.
