How should I write a good "I Need Help" listing?
Be specific about scope, time, and budget range. List the one outcome that defines success. Independents skim — vague briefs get vague signals.
What works
- Title names the role and the duration ("Part-time brand designer, 2 weeks")
- One paragraph on the outcome
- Budget range or a clear "let's scope it"
What doesn't
Vague visions, missing timelines, "competitive rates".
