Avoiding scams in freelance work
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2025 10:41 am
In every profession or job there are risks and one of them is that the freelance worker does not receive his corresponding payment, so he must be careful so that this does not happen to him. One thing to keep in mind is that there are clients who tell the freelancer that they will pay him his money when the project is finished.
However, especially when it comes to web designers, it happens that when they are already 70% done, the client turns a blind eye, causing them to leave the job and refuse to pay them what was agreed. They hire another worker and lie to him, telling him that they had to hire his services because the previous one did not finish the job, justifying themselves by saying that they abandoned the project.
To avoid these situations, it is best to copy the site to a ghana number dataset service other than the client's so that when it is ready, it is presented to the client in a way that the client is satisfied with and pays the corresponding amount. If it is an application, the freelancer is not safe from being scammed, so he should do the same as if he were designing a website.
Now, if your work has to do with SEO , it is advisable that you charge separately for each website optimization service for which you work, something to be specified after exchanging links or at the conclusion of the advertising campaign.
If the website is already optimized and what needs to be done is a link building campaign, the freelancer must tell the client that he will charge for his work according to the number of hours worked. It is always good to charge fortnightly, since this way you avoid being scammed in excess of what you can earn for 15 days of work.
If the client decides not to pay the worker, then it is a good idea to publish their email and other personal details that you know so that other freelancers do not fall into the trap.
