It depends on how reasonable your price is for the work you need completed.  Prices that are considered to be reasonable vary among service providers.  But keep in mind that service providers make a living providing their services. Therefore their time, labor, fuel, etc. should be taken into consideration before deciding on a price.  Also see Pricing Tips.

•       The price is too low (see pricing tips or search and contact service providers directly for quotes).  

•       The posting hasn’t been viewed by enough service providers (consider posting featured listing)

•       The work posting was listed in the wrong category. Re-post in the appropriate category.

•       None or very few service providers are in the posted category for your location. Click "Refer to a Service Provider" on your work posting (email address needed).  And share your work posting with your social network by clicking on the appropriate icon from your work posting.
  

Click on the button on the navigation bar at the top of the page.  You can search by category, keywords and location.  Try different combinations to narrow or broaden your search results.  For keywords, use words associated with the service industry you are searching (e.g., mechanic, programmer, designer, carpenter, pressure washing) or search for profile title.

This must be worked out between you and the service provider.  If the service provider has invested time and effort or purchased materials, they may require some type of compensation for their loss. Some service providers may request a deposit upfront to cover materials so they don't take a loss if you cancel the job.

If you are dissatisfied with the quality of services, we recommend first reaching out to the service provider to try and resolve your issues directly. If this doesn't lead to a satisfactory outcome, you can visit the service provider’s profile and leave a rating and review about your experience. WorkMyPrice operates on a community-driven accountability model. Your ratings and reviews play a crucial role in helping other consumers make informed decisions about whether to use a particular service provider.

You can search for work by clicking the “Search Work” link on the navigation bar at the top of the page.  You can search by category, keyword, location and other fields to get matching results.

Only service providers with an active profile subscription plan can view contact details for work postings.  If you do not have a profile, you must create one so consumers can search and view your qualifications when you contact them about their work posting. You can also create more than one profile if you provide services in more than one category. Click here to create a new Service Provider Profile.

If you have an active profile and still cannot view certain contact information for a consumer, it is because the consumer chose to hide it.

Creating a profile allows service providers to post credible information about themselves.  The information provided in profiles can be used by consumers to aid them choosing a service provider that meets their requirements.

Therefore, service providers are unable to connect with customers unless they have an active service provider profile.  A profile may be viewed as an online portfolio or multimedia resume. It contains details about the business/services as well as certifications,video/photos, ratings/reviews and other information customers may use to make their decision.  Profiles can be used to give a business credibility if used effectively.  They can also reduce credibility for those who have poor business practices.  See Tips for Creating a Service Provider Profile for more information.

Only service providers create profiles, which can be viewed as a business profile or portfolio.   In order to create a profile, you must:

1.    First, log in to your WorkMyPrice.com. account.  

2.    Select the “Create new profile” button at the left of the page under “post work”. 

3.    Select a plan that best fit your needs.

4.    Complete the “Service Provider Profile” page and submit.

It may have been accidentally flagged as spam. Try looking in your spam or junk folder.  Add WorkMyPrice.com as a safe sender. Or you may have registered with an incorrect email address. If so, register again with the correct email address.

Click on  Manage Work in the top right corner of this page.  Then click the "Service Provider" link and click on the “Edit” link for the profile you need to change.  You can also extend or stop your profile from being listed.

In order to maintain the integrity of the site and rating system, service provider profiles are permanent once posted. You may stop your profiles from running at any time to prevent users from viewing them.

You may be using too many keywords or even the wrong keywords.  Try one or two word combinations.  If that doesn’t work, try leaving the keyword field blank and search by category and location only.  Increasing the proximity may return better search results as well.
