How to start freelancing without risks?

Virtually anyone who is new to the industry but would like to earn extra income from freelancing has come across frankly suspicious offers. These include:

  • Writing reviews for online stores;
  • Conversation in forums or in separate threads;
  • Script writing, adult film descriptions;
  • Audio transcription;
  • Earn on clicks, likes, reposts;
  • Advertise for outright fraudulent schemes, dubious products, pseudo-drugs;
  • Description of illegal services (escorts, pyramid schemes, smoking blends).

If you see offers in the indicated niches, it is better to abandon projects and look for a job that suits your qualifications. According to experts, content remains the most promising from the point of view of marketing for decades. Even Bill Gates, when asked what will be in demand in the near future, answered “Content is king.” Therefore, if you are in the mood for a long, fruitful and profitable job, it is better to focus your efforts on an honest and sought-after occupation, such as copywriting, writing student papers, translations or commercial texts.

What is the danger of off-exchange cooperation?

The very first thing that comes to mind is the lack of payment of a fee. The peculiarity of the Internet does not provide for direct contact with the employer, which means that almost always relationships are built solely on trust. In such conditions, fraud flourishes, both in large and small transactions.

The most common schemes for cheating performers:

  • Complete a test task (naturally without prepayment) – a scammer publishes a project with a relatively high budget and asks candidates to prepare a test task, which will help to select a performer. The applicant tries to fulfill all the requirements of the customer and submits a text or work, not taking into account that there can be dozens of “applicants” like him! The scammer collects 10…20…50 test items and does not answer a single candidate. Having tried their hand at such projects, beginners often quit any freelancing activity, referring to their bad experience.
  • Work without prepayment, which ends with the loss of communication with the customer. Fraudsters often resort to tricks: they pay for the test task, but do not pay for the main block, or they use hacked (fake) accounts when posting their projects. This type of fraud is often associated with audio transcription, translations, copywriting, since the customer provides a large volume, and the performer expects to receive payment upon delivery. The Avtor24 exchange works exclusively on a prepaid basis, and the funds are credited to the service account, and the contractor has the opportunity to receive payment only after the completion of the project. Thus, the interests of the employer and the contractor are protected.
  • In the process of work, new requirements arise that radically change the essence of the task. It is important to carefully agree on the requirements for the project before starting work on it. Otherwise, you run the risk of performing a much larger volume, with more demanding requirements, than stipulated at the very beginning.

If you follow some simple precautionary rules, you can destroy or bypass all the myths that freelancing cannot make money. The main rules for the safety of a freelancer:

  • Never work without getting paid in advance;
  • Carefully study the customer’s profile, especially pay attention to the registration period, the completeness of the specified data in the profile;
  • Most freelancing exchanges and services support peer review. It is better to refuse to cooperate with people whose reviews have a period of six months or more. Often scammers use hacked or inactive profiles for their detail;
  • Require a clear statement of the problem to avoid misunderstandings;
  • Do not chase suspiciously high price tags, try to work within a price range that is comfortable for you.
  • Blackmail – events can develop in different ways, but the essence of deception is simple – the customer demands either a discount or a monetary reward for not publishing a negative review. This is especially important for freelancers with an impeccable reputation, who are willing to go to any cost to keep their portfolio or resume free of negative reviews.
  • Swinging the project – the contractor performs part of the work, the funds are transferred to him, he proceeds to the second part. But then problems begin, the customer provides new tasks, but talks about the difficulties that have arisen with payment, which are about to be resolved. The contractor executes the second block, sends it to the customer, after which the connection with him is lost.
  • Clones and twins – accounts in social networks, instant messengers, on freelance exchanges are copied to create the illusion of cooperation with a decent person. Next, the freelancer either loses his clients or gets a lot of complaints from former clients who (turns out) are waiting for tasks that you have never even heard of.

Exotic ways to steal money from freelancers

You must always be prepared for such situations and strive to protect yourself even at the slightest hint of risk. We remind you that the Author24 exchange was created, among other things, to protect the interests of performers and customers. If you suddenly have problems related to non-payment of funds, cases of fraud or data substitution, you can contact the administration of the resource.

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 the student defends his 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 specialists 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 the 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 the commission is one. 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.
