When a Client is deciding between Talents, your profile does the talking for you. A complete, clear profile helps you appear in more searches and turns visitors into paying Clients. Below, we cover each section one by one.
Opening the profile editor
- Log in to your account.
- Click your profile picture in the top corner and choose Edit profile.
- Make your changes, then press Save changes at the end of the page.
You can come back and change your profile at any time.
Your basic details
Full name
Enter your real first and last name. If you work through a registered business, you can mention the business name in your description.
Professional headline
This short line appears under your name in search results, so make every word count. Sum up your service and the kind of Client it’s for.
- Good: “AI automation specialist for small online shops”
- Too vague: “Hardworking freelancer”
Stay within 70 characters, write in normal sentence case, and skip strings of keywords.
Location
Your country is required; adding a city is optional. It helps Clients see which time zone you’re in and when you’re likely to be available. Your country is also used for payout and tax checks, so keep it accurate. Your exact address is never shown.
Hourly rate
Enter the amount you want to earn per hour on Hourly Projects. You can change it at any time, but the new rate only applies to new Projects.
| Rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| Certified Freelancer listings | Your rate must be at least $10 per hour |
| Apprentice Projects | Lower rates are allowed for learners |
| Your subscription plan | Some plans limit the highest rate you can set |
| Fees | We take 0% commission. Only payment provider fees are deducted from your payout |
Languages
Select every language you can comfortably work in. Only add languages you can really use with Clients, because they’ll expect to communicate with you in any language you list.
Showing your work
Description
This is your chance to explain, in your own voice, why a Client should choose you. A simple structure works well:
- Who you are: one or two sentences about your background.
- What you offer: the main services you provide and the results Clients can expect.
- How you work: your process, how quickly you reply and how you handle revisions.
A few things to avoid:
- claims you can’t back up, such as fake qualifications or invented results;
- asking Clients to pay you outside Yosch Media;
- personal details of other people, or anything about a child;
- posting your phone number or private email publicly. Clients can reach you safely through platform messages.
Intro video
A short video lets Clients see and hear you before they hire. Profiles with a video often feel more trustworthy.
- Aim for 30 to 90 seconds.
- Say who you are, what you do and how you can help.
- Film in a quiet, well-lit place and look at the camera.
- Accepted formats: MP4 / Youtube video, up to 50 MB.
- Only use music, images or clips you have the right to use, and don’t show anyone who hasn’t agreed to appear.
Portfolio
Your portfolio shows Clients what you can do. It’s made up of photos only, so upload clear images of your best work, such as finished designs, screenshots of websites or automations, or stills from your videos. You can add up to 5 photos, so choose your strongest work and put the best image first.
- Accepted formats: JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 10 MB each.
- Use sharp, well-lit images and crop out anything that isn’t part of the work.
- Only upload work you created and are allowed to share.
- If a Client asked you to keep a Project private, leave it out.
- Entries that didn’t win a Skill Challenge still belong to you, so you can show them.
- Be open about any tools you used, including AI, if they played a major part.
If someone reports that a portfolio item uses their work without permission, we may remove it under our copyright rules (Schedule 4 of our Terms of Use).
Skills and expertise
Choose up to 15 skills that match the work you actually do. Skills help Clients find you, because search results consider how closely your skills match what a Client is looking for.
- Put your strongest skills first.
- Pick specific skills (for example “Shopify automation”) rather than broad ones (“Computers”).
Pricing and packages
Packages are ready-made services that Clients can request straight from your profile, without posting a job first. They’re ideal for work you do often, such as a UGC video, a logo or a social media post set.
Creating a package
For each package, fill in:
- Title: a clear name, for example “30-second UGC product video”.
- What’s included: exactly what the Client receives, such as file formats, length or number of items.
- Delivery time: how many days you need after the Client sends their brief.
- Revisions: how many rounds of changes are included.
- Price: the fixed amount for the whole package.
- Extras (optional): add-ons the Client can choose, such as faster delivery or an extra version.
Example: UGC video packages
| Basic | Standard | Premium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What’s included | 1 video, up to 30 seconds | 2 videos, up to 45 seconds each | 3 videos, up to 60 seconds each, plus raw footage |
| Delivery time | 3 days | 5 days | 7 days |
| Revisions | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Price | $19 | $39 | $59 |
How a booking works
- The Client picks a package. They choose one from your profile, and it arrives as a message to you with the package details.
- You agree the details in the chat. Talk through the brief, deadline, any extras and the final price.
- The Client sends the contract. When you’re both happy, the Client sends you a contract on the platform, set up as a Fixed-Fee Project.
- You accept, and the work is funded. Check that the contract matches what you agreed in the chat, then accept it. The Client’s payment goes into the Security Hold. Start work only once the funds are in place.
- You deliver and get paid. The payment is released once the Client approves your delivery.
The usual rules for Fixed-Fee Projects apply, including disputes and the transfer of rights after payment. Each contract also counts toward your plan’s limit on active contracts.
Price rules
| Rule | Limit |
|---|---|
| Any package | Between $5 and $10,000 |
| Certified Freelancer packages | At least $150 each |
| Your subscription plan | Some plans set a maximum Project value |
Describe only what you can really deliver within the time you set. Clear, honest packages lead to better reviews and fewer disputes.
Protecting your account with two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second check when you log in. As well as your password, you enter a one-time code that we email to you. Even if someone learns your password, they can’t get into your account without that code.
Turning on 2FA
- Open Edit profile and scroll down to the Two-factor authentication section on the same page.
- Choose where your codes are sent: your main account email, or a separate 2FA email address.
- We’ll send a code to the address you chose.
- Enter the code to confirm. 2FA is now active.
Extra security tip: using a separate email address just for your 2FA codes means that, even if someone gets into your main inbox, they still can’t receive your login codes. Choose an address that only you can access, and keep it up to date in your profile editor.
Logging in with 2FA
After entering your password, check the inbox you chose for 2FA codes. You’ll find an email from Yosch Media containing your code. Type it in to finish logging in. Each code works only once and expires after 3 minutes.
Keep your account safe:
- Never share your code with anyone. Our team will never ask you for it.
- Protect every email account linked to your login with a strong password, including any separate 2FA address.
- If a code doesn’t arrive, look in your spam folder, then ask for a new one.
- Still locked out? Contact us through our contact form and we’ll help you verify your identity.
