How can a freelancer win the trust of a client?

The issue of payment remains one of the most important in the work of a freelancer, since everyone wants to receive a decent and timely remuneration for their work. However, where there is the possibility of an undue advantage, there will always be people who want it.

Let’s look at the main ways to get paid in the work of a freelancer.

Full prepayment

This is the safest way for a freelancer to arrange a fee payment. The essence is simple – the customer pays the full amount, after which the freelancer starts to work, but even here there are pitfalls:

Thus, by working on a prepaid basis, a freelancer receives some security, but may lose a significant part of his potential clients.

What can be dangerous in prepayment?

Rarely, but still sometimes, prepayment can be the very hook that you can catch an inexperienced freelancer on. Several schemes:

• An advance payment is paid, but after the start of work there are sharply additional requirements, which in theory should change the cost, but the customer insists that he has already paid for all services and owes nothing;
• Prepayment can be a bait for cheating on subsequent volumes. For example, a freelancer is told that the accounting department has a problem with reissuing an invoice, but the order needs to be completed urgently. Naturally, the performer does not receive payment;
• Prepayment is a deterrent that also prevents the freelancer from interrupting the collaboration, for example, if he is offered a better project.

Payment 50/50

A convenient and compromise option. Most often used among professionals, because it provides certain guarantees, but does not discourage potential customers. The second half is paid upon delivery, if the customer is satisfied with the quality.

Reefs:

• The simplest case – the performer does not receive the second half of the money, therefore, the customer receives text files at half the price.
• After receiving 50% payment, the customer makes additional demands, delays the acceptance deadlines, hinting in every possible way that he will not pay, or the payment will be much less.
• In the process of work, the volume is added (for example, several dozen articles), the freelancer completes them, but there is no payment.

The 50/50 scheme helps to get at least some benefit in case of cooperation with scammers, but does not guarantee complete security. It is better to work on it with companies whose customers you trust. Never work with clients with a dubious reputation on large assignments with a payment of only 50%.

Safe deal

Author24 Exchange implemented this payment method as the most secure one for both the customer and the contractor. It was implemented by attracting arbitrators, who decide on the payment of funds.

How does it work?

• The customer and the contractor agree in advance on the timing, budget and requirements;
• The customer deposits funds to the balance, while the money does not go to the author’s account, but the customer cannot manage it either;
• After the completion of cooperation, the customer accepts the work and only after that the funds are credited to the account of the contractor, who can withdraw them through his personal account to an available current account.

If the customer or the contractor has a claim, an appeal is made to arbitration, which carefully considers the situation and makes a decision:

• To fully pay the amount to the contractor – if he formally fulfilled all the requirements of the customer and did not violate the deadlines;
• Pay the amount to the customer in full – if the contractor did not complete the task or did not submit it on time;
• Partial refund – in an agreed proportion, the money is divided between the customer and the contractor, based on the level of readiness of the materials received and compliance with the requirements of the terms of reference.

Safe deal is ideal for beginners, for working on large projects, for cooperation with unverified customers.

The downside of such transactions is only the “freezing of money” within the system before the expiration of the warranty period (20 days). This rule was introduced to prevent the resale of works, as well as to minimize cases of fraud by unscrupulous performers.

When, after many sleepless nights, the diploma is finally ready, I want to pass it and forget it. But the university will not lag behind the student so easily. After all, the full text of the diploma was read only by the supervisor, and a whole commission will gather to evaluate it. Therefore, in many respects, his assessment depends on how a student defends a diploma.

So what is a successful defense?

• Competent protection text
• positive diploma review
• confident answers to commission questions

In the introduction to the course it is necessary to indicate many important points. One of them is methodology. The student is required to indicate what methods he will use in the study of the topic. This is not the easiest task, and often students cannot cope with this task themselves. In this case, you can contact us. Our experts will write you a paper of any complexity, and you can discuss the price with them personally.

Speech structure

Of course, what exactly to say in the defense depends mainly on the topic of the thesis and on what exactly is written in it, but there are general recommendations that are suitable for everyone.

• First, we need to say hello to the members of the evaluation committee. (“Dear members of the attestation commission! Your attention is presented to the final qualifying work on the topic …”)
• Introductory part. Here you need to reveal the topic and identify the issues that are raised in the work.
• Relevance of the topic. At this stage, it is important to prove the relevance of the chosen topic and the degree of its development in other people’s works. Indicate the subject, object, objectives and purpose of the study.
• Theme disclosure structure. Here you just need to list the paragraphs that are in the work and briefly describe them.
• Problem statement. To confirm the relevance of the topic, it is necessary to state the problem and indicate debatable opinions on this matter.
• Conclusions. At the end of the speech, the commission should hear the conclusions that the student came to in the course of writing the diploma, in which there are ways and methods for solving the stated problems.

On the one hand, it seems that it is much easier to write a graduation speech than the diploma itself. However, high-quality speech is a skillful squeeze out of the work, as well as its competent presentation. And it often happens that a diploma is written with the highest score, and a student gets a worse grade. Therefore, if there is a lack of self-confidence, you can order a speech on our website. And then the probability of failure due to bad speech will disappear. After all, we give a twenty-day guarantee for the work, and if something does not suit you, you can demand that the author finalize the order for free. We make sure that students are satisfied, so if the final version of the work does not meet the stated requirements, you will get your money back.

Formal requirements

When writing a speech for a thesis, you must also take into account that there are purely formal requirements.

• Time. Do not forget that there are many students, but only one commission. Therefore, the time for a defensive speech is regulated and ranges from 5 to 7 minutes. At the same time, you should remember about the time that will be spent on commission questions.
• Intonation. Where, no matter how on the defense of a diploma, is it important to win over listeners? Therefore, it is better not to read the speech monotonously, making accents with intonation.
• Style. When presenting a speech, it should be remembered that the main goal is understanding on the part of the commission. Therefore, you should not be too smart, but you can’t switch to colloquial speech either. In this matter, you need to observe the golden mean.
• Pronouns. As in the diploma itself, it is important to remember during the defense that although the author of the diploma is clearly spelled out, there are a lot of true owners of knowledge reflected in the work (the authors of all the sources the student relied on plus the supervisor), so first-person pronouns are not appropriate here.
• Questions. After the end of the speech, questions from the commission will inevitably follow, and you need to be ready for them. Suggested questions should be written down in the course of writing the thesis, work through all the questions that arose during the pre-defense, and you can also look at the questions at the end of chapters from textbooks on this topic.
• Pre-protection. In such a matter as defending a diploma, it is better not to be presumptuous and neglect pre-defense. On it, you can practice giving a speech and write down possible questions from the audience. This will allow you to feel more confident in the official defense.

Of course, these are only recommendations, and no one forces you to strictly follow them. However, the rejection of some positions during the defense will create additional questions from the certification committee, which is not always loyal. Therefore, it is best to think through all possible questions and answer them in advance in a defensive speech. Then the teachers will have a minimum of questions, and they will be grateful for the saved time.
