Freelancers: How Do You Get Paid?

A universal goal of freelancers and other business owners is to get paid for the work we do quickly and in full. There are several general payment options you can offer to your clients, each with their own positives and negatives. Plus, there are a number of things you can do to make it easier for clients to pay you, and pay you on time.

How you get paid ????

 

Paypal, I bet most of us use paypal over here.

 

Ya, you are right.
Most of the people in this world use PayPal only as its the fastest and best and also safest way for doing any business.

- Digital -

 

Even with little bit of inefficiency with respect to chargebacks, Paypal still rules the payment processing segment since it offers very wide acceptance with relatively easy operational procedure, making it ideal for even a newbie to start with the same!

Looking back, Paypal have been around since year 1990 but they didn't go online until 2000.

Paypal is the world pioneer online payment processor and world wide in each country are beginning to accept Paypal while other online payment processors will still have to consume a few more years for lots of other countries to approve them.

I made a few thousand dollars with Paypal and yes, I can touch my money.

 

i am working as a freelancer on oDesk they if you chose bank transfer they deduct $20 on withdrawal and if you chose money bookers they charge $1

i withdrawal my earnings to moneybookers and from moneybookers to my bank account in this way charges are 3 in total
$1 odesk to money bookers
$2 MB to Bank

 

I use Scriptlance for many of my projects and they use many different ways to pay freelancers including bank wire. Sometimes that is the advantage of using an intermediary service.

 

I use SL too, first I was withdrawing by BankWire, but then I got Payponeer which is faster and cheaper. Epassporte is good too in the adult industry.

 

yap, It's true.

 

I use paypal most of time

 

Most of my clients are in the US, and I'm in Australia, so I have only used paypal. It's convenient for both my client and myself.

 

Normally i get paid by western union coz its safe and secure but the down side is the fee is too high.

 

Normally i will choose paypal as my online payment processor

 

I use paypal and alertpay but mostly I received the payment through paypal. I am also bit frustrated about the charges paypal have started takin on personal accounts. I got 5 payments within a week and all the 5 transactions had some fees. So, not happy to give away fees on my precious earnings.

 

I have AlertPay set up just in case but I've never been asked for it. PayPal is how I get paid. Upfront no less, and I've never asked

 

PayPal hands down is the most universal, and in my experience the easiest to use. Some freelance project sites have their own internal payment/escrow service but they are tied to the most common payment processing companies - most common being PayPal.

 

Might you won....not sure abt that coz there are many others in competition also and doing well ............

 

I use paypal and moneybookers both works well

 

I use Payoneer regularly. I also use Paypal, but rarely.
