How to Sell on submitted-lancer Last update 2 weeks ago

Turn your skills into steady income.

Selling on SubmittedLancer means offering your expertise to clients actively looking for help — whether through direct gigs or by bidding on posted projects.

Getting started

  1. Switch to a seller account. Use the "Become a Seller" option to unlock selling features.
  2. Complete your profile. Add a clear headline, a detailed bio, your skills, and portfolio samples. Profiles with strong portfolios get more bids accepted.
  3. Get verified. Verified accounts build more trust with clients and often see higher conversion on bids and gig orders.

Two ways to earn

  • Bid on projects. Browse open projects in your category, submit a competitive bid with your price and delivery time, and win the work.
  • List gigs. Package your services into clear, fixed-scope gigs clients can order directly — great for repeatable, well-defined work.

Tips for winning more work

  • Write bids that speak directly to the client's specific project — avoid generic copy-paste proposals.
  • Set realistic delivery timelines and hit them consistently.
  • Keep communication clear and professional throughout the order.
  • Deliver complete work with a clear description of what you've submitted.
  • Ask satisfied clients to leave a review — ratings directly impact how often you're seen.

Getting paid

Funds move into your available balance once a client approves delivered work. From there, you can request a withdrawal to your preferred payout method. A small commission is deducted from earnings to support the platform — visible upfront on every order.

Staying in good standing

Deliver what you promise, communicate honestly, and avoid taking work outside the platform. Accounts that consistently deliver quality work and maintain good ratings get more visibility across SubmittedLanc
