Step by Step

From Profile to Paid Project

The full freelance marketplace is launching mid-2026. Clients post projects with scopes and budgets; freelancers submit proposals. Bigger work, longer engagements, milestone-based payments.

01
Build Your Profile
Create a detailed freelancer profile with your skills, portfolio, hourly rate, and past work samples. Clients browse profiles before posting a project.
A strong profile wins more projects.
02
Browse & Propose
Clients post projects with full briefs, budgets, and timelines. Freelancers submit tailored proposals — cover letter, price quote, and estimated delivery.
Quality proposals beat low bids.
03
Negotiate & Contract
Client and freelancer align on scope, milestones, and payment schedule via in-app messaging. A digital contract is generated automatically.
Contracts protect both parties.
04
Work in Milestones
Projects are broken into milestones. The client funds each milestone into escrow before work begins. Payment is released upon milestone approval.
Milestone escrow = zero payment risk.
05
Deliver & Get Reviewed
Submit your final deliverable, client approves and releases final payment. Both parties leave reviews that build long-term reputation on the platform.
Reviews unlock better-paying projects.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

When is the freelance marketplace launching?
We're targeting mid-2026. Join the waitlist to get early access, a free featured profile for the first 3 months, and launch-day notifications.
How is freelance different from micro-tasks?
Micro-tasks are short, fixed-price actions (follow, like, translate a paragraph). Freelance projects are larger engagements — a logo design, a month of social media management, a software feature — with proposals, contracts, and milestone billing.
What skills will be in demand?
Graphic design, web & mobile development, copywriting, video editing, accounting, legal drafting, marketing, and more — all serving the Ethiopian market.
Will existing Metbaber accounts work?
Yes. Your current Metbaber account will carry over to the freelance platform — no new registration needed.
