worked on Upwork (when it was called Elance) as a freelance developer for 3 years. Guess what was my least favorite thing to do? Yep, looking for projects. As a developer, I’d rather dive into an interesting project that I get paid for than sifting through a never-ending stream of ‘Facebook clone for $500’ job posts. Bear in mind that you compete for talented developers with other clients, most of whom have a vague idea of what they need built. At this point I’m assuming that you have a technical mentor, you’ve decided on the technology stack and have a functional specification and/or wireframes. Now, in order to attract the best developers, you need to write a job post that speaks ‘professionalism’. Besides good grammar and spelling here’s what an ideal post should include: long-term / short-term). Some of the information will be repeated in the following sections. Don’t worry about it. The overview is designed to deter irrelevant candidates and make good ones interest
