This is a new project type, which allows you to create and send offer (price, estimated time to delivery, description of the proposal and estimated consumption). For this type there won't be any data expert from Apify as man in the middle, we will do moderation of these projects but won't touch the flow of the projects most of the time.

# Offers

This is a new project type, which allows you to create and send offer (price, estimated time to delivery, description of the proposal and estimated consumption). For this type there won't be any data expert from Apify as man in the middle, we will do moderation of these projects but won't touch the flow of the projects most of the time. With this new way of delivering projects, we believe that the lifecycle of the project can be much more efficient and smooth.

## What does this bring for you?
|
|
|
With the opportunity to create the offer, you will decide what reward you would like to get for the project, how would you handle it and when you can deliver it. Also, you will get a higher reward for the projects and when you deliver more projects with enabled offers, you will receive even higher rewards.
|
|
|
But keep in mind that with the offers, one of the criteria (besides the price, date, consumption..) based on customers will decide who to choose will be your rating, so if you win the contract, make sure you handle the customer nicely.

When you go to the detail of the project with enabled offers and you will decide that the project is interesting for you and you would like to work on it, you can click on the `Make an offer` button in the top right corner.

Fourth, Expected consumption - consumption if one of important attributes of the offer, if you can set it up the way it will be very efficient and you found some XHR requests where to get the data, your chances are going significantly high! Always try to check if you can go with cheerio of basic crawler because for customers it will make a huge difference in monthly costs for the usage. Also if the site is blocking heavily and he will need to use a lot of proxies, point it out.
