On the next screen, select ‘Freelancer,’ choose a password, then continue. 

On the following screen, you have the option to verify your account security. You can skip this step for now, but be sure to come back and complete it later. Keeping your account safe and secure is essential. 

Next, you have the chance to enter your basic information. Start by uploading a photo. As we’ve discussed in the previous lessons, this should be a clear, professional head and shoulders shot.

Then complete the rest of the required information and continue. 

Done that? Great. Now we get to the most important section. You need to spend time working on this, as all the critical information is added here.

First, you need to list the services you wish to offer to employers. Include all your social media expertise here, including using your personal accounts. Everything helps. The more you include, the easier it is for clients to find you. 

Next, you need to introduce yourself. Give a brief but compelling overview of your work history. Focus on everything connected with writing. Aim to come across as being professional, reliable, and the right person for the job. 

Your final task is to set your hourly rates and information about your location. When all of that is done, hit ‘Publish.’

Then, boom! You’re all done. Your account on Guru is ready, and you’re well placed to start picking up work from this platform. Just check our jobs database daily to see what’s hot!
