How It Works
How it works
p2people is the innovative micro outsourcing service that makes it easy for people, freelancers and businesses to outsource their jobs and freelance their services.
- An individual, freelancer or business (job provider) advertises their freelance job (i.e., piece of work, job, project, etc.) with us. The job will be listed for a fixed period, say, 4 weeks.
- An interested individual, freelancer or business (service provider) will apply by submitting a bid.
- When the listing period ends, the job provider will look at bids and accept an application based on the bid price, service offered, experience, service provider ratings and so on.

Yes! It’s free to join and you can use the free Lite membership plans to advertise your jobs or services. To get started, simply click Join Now on our homepage.
Some of you, however, might want only invited service providers to bid on your private jobs or might wish to advertise several services. You can do these things and more through choosing a p2people Pro or Biz plan. Again, to get started, simply click Join Now on our homepage.
First, you’ll need to Setup Your Account where you’ll enter information such as your name, email, city and country. (Once registered, you can edit your details to include your biz name and an introduction for you or your business.)
Then you’ll be able to choose a job provider plan, either the free Lite plan, or a paid Pro or Biz plan.
Paid plans offer some useful benefits over the free Lite plan:
- Receive bids before Lite members as your jobs are immediately available to Search, Browse and Recently Advertised Jobs (Lite jobs are available within 24 hours)
- Allow only a select group to bid by making a job private and allowing only invited providers to bid
- Improve your job’s visibility as they appear before Lite jobs in Search, Browse and Recently Advertised Jobs
- Discover more about service providers before inviting them to bid through our interactive online chat tool
- Obtain greater value from your membership by allowing up to 3 non-members (Associates) to use your plan to advertise jobs
On completing registration and signing in, you can use the “Advertise A Job” link under “My Jobs” to create your job listing. You can access “My Jobs” through the “View Jobs” link. Here you can enter a job’s details (title, description, budget, etc.) and preview your job. Optionally, you may select one or more advanced options.
Clicking on Advertise will list your job under “Live Jobs” and make it searchable or browsable.
Note. You can select an advanced option to make your job private. Private jobs are viewable to invited job providers only and are not searchable or browsable.

Then you’ll be able to choose a service provider plan, either the free Lite plan, or a paid Pro or Biz plan
Paid plans offer some useful features over the free Lite plan:
- Win potentially more jobs by advertising up to 6 different services, e.g., PHP Web Developer, Graphic Designer and Website Copywriter, 5 more than available to Lite plan members
- Better promote your services by attaching up to 10 documents and highlighting up to 15 skills (1 document and 10 skills for Lite plan members)
- Receive job invites before Lite members as your services are immediately available to Search and Browse (Lite services are available within 24 hours)
- Improve your service’s visibility as they appear before Lite services in Search and Browse
- Obtain greater value from your membership by allowing up to 3 non-members (Associates) to use your plan to advertise services
On completing registration and signing in, you can use the “Advertise A Service” link under “My Services” to create your service listing. You can access “My Services” through the “View Services” link. Here you can enter a service’s details (title, description, rate, etc.) and preview your service. Optionally, you may attach one or more documents.
Clicking on Advertise will list your service under “Live Services” and make it searchable or browsable.
p2people allows you to do just that! After you Setup Your Account, you can choose to have a job provider plan and a service provider plan. It’s that simple!
You can also add a plan to your account. So, if you join as a service provider, later on you can add a job provider plan to advertise your job(s), too.
You can use Browse or Search to find a suitable job. These jobs are all public. Private jobs require an invitation and do not appear under “Recently Advertised Jobs”, “Search” or “Browse”.
To apply for a job, you must indicate the service you’re willing to provide and the price (bid) you’re willing to accept to do the job.
The job provider will receive your application and decide if they want to accept your offer. If they decide “yes”, you’ll receive an email to let you know and the job will appear in your “Won Jobs” under “Manage”.
Note. When you place a bid, you’re agreeing to provide your service at the agreed price. This agreement is between you and the job provider. Please do not bid if you do not intend to honour this agreement. Please see our acceptable use policy.
When you advertise a job, you can require that the service provider creates a Milestone Plan. A Milestone Plan allows both parties to understand the key stages (or milestones) in the job, and agree the anticipated delivery dates and the payments that should be made on the completion of the various milestones.
The Milestone Plan also allows the service provider to let the job provider know that a milestone has been completed and the job provider to acknowledge that fact.
Currently, the Milestone Plan doesn’t allow Escrow or direct payments to be made to the service provider but we’ll include this feature in our next beta release. To keep up with site developments, just visit “What’s New” on our homepage.
As a job provider, if you want to increase your visibility to get more service providers to bid on your jobs, when you choose your plan you can select the “Feature me on the Homepage” option. This allows you to feature on our homepage for a fixed period.
After joining or if your featuring period has ended, once you’ve signed in and you’re in “My Account”, you can go to your plan in “Account Settings” to add this feature option.
