## 1. Check your contract Read the outside-work, conflict-of-interest, non-compete and IP clauses. See [the guide](https://deftridge.com/guides/check-your-contract-before-side-work/). ## 2. Find the hours One to two hours on a working day is about five hours a week. Our tasks are sized for that, and the platform cap is 15 hours a week across all tasks. ## 3. Set the rate Start from the market median on the [rate pages](https://deftridge.com/rates/), add the contractor premium and decide a floor. See [how to price a task](https://deftridge.com/guides/how-to-price-a-task/). ## 4. Mind the tax Contractors usually report and pay their own tax. See the [basics](https://deftridge.com/guides/side-income-and-tax-basics/) and ask a local adviser. ## 5. Stay safe Real recruiters never ask for money and write from @deftridge.com.
