How do you get paid for your work

For those that make money from the internet, how do you get paid?

Do you use e-mail to communicate about the work that needs to be done, give your paypal id to customer then send the finished work through e-mail.

Do you have a website that takes care of the transactions and if so what do you use. Is it custom built?

What's your system of choice when working with a customer and getting paid.

 

I either send the client my paypal ID or I invoice them from my paypal account

 

You can use digitalpoints Private message system to contact the clients.
PAypal, moneybookers, egold are some of the online payment systems.

 

Do you solely use Private Messaging as a method of communication? I do sometimes but prefer email

 

90% is by PayPal. I also get checks and money orders as well.

 

I find it best on aim or msn, it's as if you're talking to someone face to face. Instant replies!

I always discuss the work and then once it's agreed, usually they pay half first or it's payed at the end of the work.

My jobs are not usually over $100 or so. So, if it's an expensive job, I definitely recommend signing some type of contract, and having them pay a downpayment or half of the payment.

 

We generally get paid via PAYPAL through our clients

 

They send me money to Paypal, and it wire transfer to the Bank.
Then I pull out the funds with an ATM card.

 

PayPal is the only way i receive money from clients. Communication almost always take place via PM, hence why my inbox is full after a month...sometimes through email though if i have worked with them before.

 

For me following are the exact figures:
- Paypal (60%)
- MB(10%)
- Xoom(30%)

 

Checks or paypal usually. I don't use anything else.

 

i received payment through paypal and also i get paid by checque from Google

 

100% Paypal.

 

I just use the PMs here. And I get paid by paypal.

 

ICQ for communication epassporte for payment.

 

I communicate with my client through emails and send the original files when completed. After that give the paypal ID to client and he just send the money... So simple

 

I like to pay Mrs Buffalo in pancakes and beer. Not necessarily in that order.

It's just the kind of relationship we have.

 

Thanks! Now everybody is going to want to pay me in pancakes and beer!! You promised to keep that a secret!

At least you didn't tell them what kind of work it is that I do for you....

 

It's our little secret. Just don't tell Mr Buffalo.



KIDDING ofcourse!

 

my prefered method of getting paid is in titties n beer, but sometimes I have to accept cash/paypal/credit cards and later change them into tnb.
