Learner quick start

Get from sign-up to your first brief.

1. Create your account

Click Create your account on the FursaFlow homepage, choose Learner, and follow the steps. See Creating your account.

2. Set up your profile

Complete seven short steps: who you are, your skills, the skills you want to grow, the work you’re looking for, your track record, how you like to learn and your timezone and photo. See Setting up your profile.

3. Find a brief

Go to the Projects hub.
Filter by skill, and by free or paid.
Look for briefs with a clear scope and milestones, and check whether a mentor is advising.

4. Apply

Applying has four steps: why you’re a good fit, your portfolio, your availability and a final review. Your application saves as you go. See Applying to a brief.

5. Do the work

Once you’re accepted, you’ll work through the brief’s milestones. For each one, upload your files, then submit a summary. The Team reviews it and approves it or sends feedback. See Submitting work for a milestone.

How you build your record

Brief Record: issued by the Team when you complete their brief.
Verified Skill: signed by a mentor who has reviewed your work.

Both are permanent and anyone can check them.

Common questions

How many briefs can I apply for? On the free plan, there’s a limit on applications in any 30 days. Focus on doing one brief well. Your record is built on work you finish.

What if I’m not accepted? It’s normal. Use any feedback to improve your profile, and keep applying.

Do I get paid? Open briefs are unpaid. Supervised briefs pay you a fixed fee for each milestone you deliver. You’re paid for the work, not employed. Check the brief’s terms before you apply.

Tips

Treat every brief as real work for a real business.
Deliver what you agreed at each milestone. Reliability is part of your record.
If you’re stuck, tell the Team early.
