I would avoid paying a large amount upfront to someone you have never worked with. Start small, build trust, and increase the workload over time.

Yes, although finding the right person can require patience. I usually contact several freelancers, explain the project clearly, and see who responds professionally.

The best freelancers I've worked with usually don't promise unrealistic results. They explain what they can do, what they need from me, and how long the work should take.
