does anyone know how to use http://www.freelancer.com ?

Hello

Please carefully read my question before answering it.

Today I visited http://www.freelancer.com.

I created an account. I made a work account, and not a hire account.

I added my skills in my profile.

I don't understand the point of this website.

If I make a bid, then will I have to pay to work?

Please correct me if I am wrong. If I use this website, I have to pay to work, and I don't get paid after I do a job.

How do I make a bid on this website?

Please explain what I should do to make a bid, for a job.
