How Oficio Claro Works
Oficio Claro is a marketplace where freelancers in Tijuana get found by local clients. Your profile is your storefront: buyers search, compare, and contact you directly — by WhatsApp, phone, or email. Oficio Claro connects you; the conversation, the deal, and the payment happen directly between you and your client.
The Seller Journey
Your first 3 months are free. Build your whole profile and go live without paying anything — after the trial, a subscription is what keeps your profile published and visible to buyers.
How Buyers Find You
Most buyers start by typing what they need into the search on the home page (e.g. “I need an electrician”). Oficio Claro matches that to the right skills and shows the sellers who fit. Buyers then narrow the results with filters:
- Category — the type of service
- Skills — specific expertise within it
- Price range — their budget
- Star rating — the minimum they will accept
You show up when your profile matches what they are looking for — so your category and skills decide whether you appear at all. Choose them carefully.
What Buyers See on Your Profile
Buyers see your whole profile: photo and name, service title and description, skills and pricing, portfolio and cover photos, experience, certifications and education, availability, FAQs, social links, reviews and rating, and your “Works With” connections.
The three that win or lose trust fastest are your portfolio, your reviews, and a clear service description — put your energy there first.
How Clients Reach You
When a buyer wants to work with you, they tap the contact buttons on your profile to reach you by WhatsApp, phone, or email — using the details you entered. From there you handle the conversation, the quote, scheduling, and payment directly with the client.
Oficio Claro helps clients find you; it does not host messaging, process client payments, or take any commission on your work. Keep your phone, WhatsApp, and email accurate and reply quickly — a missed message is a missed client.
Important
A completed profile without an active subscription is invisible to buyers. Subscribing is what turns your profile on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Oficio Claro free?
You start with a 3-month free trial and no card is required. After the trial you decide — subscribe to stay listed, or do nothing and your profile simply goes offline. You are never charged automatically.
Do I need to be based in Tijuana?
Yes. Oficio Claro currently serves Tijuana, Mexico. Sellers should be based in or actively serving the Tijuana area.
Does Oficio Claro take a cut of what I earn?
No. You pay a flat subscription to be listed; everything you charge your clients is yours. Oficio Claro doesn't process client payments or take commission.
How will clients contact me?
Directly — through the WhatsApp, phone, and email buttons on your profile. There's no inbox inside Oficio Claro, so keep those details current and respond promptly.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
Your profile stays visible until the end of the billing period you've already paid for. After that it's hidden from buyers — but nothing is deleted. Your profile and all your data are kept, and you can reactivate anytime to go straight back online.
