Hi guys! I am planning to do online business like working as a freelancer in developing websites, I need guidance before stepping in. Need to know what precaution should I take in order to avoid being scammed. Looking for your valuable suggestions!
Hi vinmurkaal, With my point of view I suggested few tips, go through it... 1. When it comes to freelancing many freelancers hesitate to use their real name in online. And I too think its better to stay off with your personal details unless client willing to do face to face contact. 2. Before getting engaged with your clients its always better to screen prospective clients by googling their personal and as well as their business details. If you feel their prospect is wrong then its better to be off. 3. Pick the client who shows interest on your project, not on your personal info. And also they should be willing to pay upfront with some amount. 4. Finally, its unnecessary to give your bank details instead you can prefer services like paypal, escrow, alerpay and so. Hopping that you will shine in your business! Cheers!
First make sure you have a nice portfolio present online. Approach all the possible local clients. Ask for the 20 to 50 percent of total payment in advance. Produce quality work, and rest will follow.
