How to Invite Your Existing Freelance Network

2. Enter individual invitees' email addresses.
You can do this in a few ways:
- YouYou can also choose to send invites to existing contacts in your Gmail account, LinkedIn account, or upload a CSV.
- By selecting More you may upload contacts from your Outlook, iCloud, and other accounts as well.
- Or you can enter the name and email address manually.
Each contact will receive an email inviting them to create a Storyhunter account.
3. Find & Hire Invited Freelancers
As soon as the freelancers have created their profile they will be added to your Saved network. Within that view use the Search By Name tool to find the person you've invited. Click Hire by their bio to start working with them.
If they're yet to create their account they'll appear as Pending and you can nudge them to create their profile again.
