How to Send an Offer on Upwork

Updated on:
April 6, 2026

Madhav Bhandari
Use this interactive demo to learn how to send an offer on Upwork.

‍


To send an offer on Upwork, follow these steps:

‍

  1. Go to the 'Talent' section and click 'Discover'.
  2. Click on the freelancer's profile.
  3. Click on the ellipsis icon in the freelancer's profile page.
  4. Click on the 'Hire' button.
  5. You will be directed to the offer page to send an offer.
  6. Set the offer terms and provide the job details.
  7. Define the scope of work whether it’s hourly or fixed-price.
  8. Enter the hourly rate or total fixed-price amount.
  9. Set a weekly limit to help ensure that you stay on budget.
  10. Check the check box to allow freelancers to log time manually.
  11. Provide a message with details or instructions.
  12. Check the check box to agree to the Upwork's terms and services.
  13. Click 'Continue' and the freelancer will now receive your offer.

📌 Why this matters

Sending offers directly to freelancers lets you bypass the traditional job posting process and secure talent before competitors even know they're available. This proactive approach transforms you from just another client posting jobs to someone who identifies and pursues specific professionals.

You can negotiate terms privately, often getting better rates and availability than through public listings. By initiating the conversation, you also demonstrate genuine interest in their work, which typically results in higher-quality proposals and stronger working relationships from the start.
