Working directly – saving money or unjustified risk?

Freelance exchanges are created so that customers and contractors can find each other and work comfortably through the exchange system. It is designed in such a way as to provide guarantees of honest cooperation, help organize the workflow and monitor the fulfillment of the obligations of each of the parties. But for some reason, very often people neglect this and agree to cooperate outside the freelance exchange. Why is this happening, is it really justified savings and should such cooperation be avoided?

Why do people want to work directly?

It would seem that everything in freelancing is designed to make it comfortable for both parties to work and cooperate. It provides for all possible nuances and features of the work, provides for the possibility of safe transactions and conflict resolution if necessary. With all this, people tend to start working directly, outside the exchange. And here’s why:

• Perhaps one of the main reasons for refusing to work through the exchange system is the payment for the site’s services. On many exchanges, when working through it, you need to pay a small commission, in the amount of a few percent of the cost of the project itself. This is not a very large amount, but still some people prefer to save it.
• It is also possible to want to work off the exchange in a long-term relationship with one customer. When you constantly work with the same person, you can develop a certain amount of trust in each other. In such conditions, you really will not need an intermediary and you will not have to overpay him for each project. But it is important to understand when you can really trust, and when you should still not take risks and work through a guarantor.
• Some people are looking for permanent remote work. In such conditions, it simply makes no sense to overpay for a freelance exchange on an ongoing basis a percentage of your earnings. That is why people tend to go beyond the exchange, because they believe that they themselves organize the workflow much better.

So, for example, you cannot get a guarantee that your conflicts will be resolved if they arise. When disagreements arise on a freelance exchange, it will not be difficult for you to involve the administration and resolve this issue, having figured out who is really right and who is not. In terms of direct work, you will have to negotiate on your own. Otherwise, your cooperation may end at the very beginning.

Why not work outside the exchange?

Firstly, the freelance exchange itself warns us not to do this. Almost every exchange has rules or certain tips that can help you avoid problems and avoid becoming a victim of scammers. They clearly state that you should not work through the site itself and should use a guarantor when working with new or unverified customers.

Secondly, you cannot be sure that a person will not deceive you. Nothing prevents the customer from not paying you if you work without prepayment and without using a guarantor. He will not even lose his reputation on the freelance exchange, since you will not be able to leave a negative review about him when working outside the system. In such a situation, the attacker does not risk anything, all your evidence, even when filing a complaint with the exchange administration, will simply be useless.

Thirdly, the freelance exchange was created in order to help people work and earn money. It takes into account the interests of all, and there is nothing wrong with working through it. So you save your nerves, effort and money. Yes, you will have to overpay a small amount in the form of a commission – a percentage of the project cost. But it’s a worthwhile expense. You just have to think about the fact that if the customer deceives you and you are not paid, you will lose much more. You will lose not a percentage of the project cost, but the entire amount. This is a much greater risk, and it is far from always justified.

There is nothing wrong with paying a commission for a freelance exchange. You need to understand that in order to maintain such a large resource, they need money, they need to advertise themselves, attract customers, pay for hosting services, pay salaries to people and many other expenses that you may not even know about.

When can I work directly?

So, are there situations when it is possible or even necessary to work directly? Yes, there are such situations. But they are more of a rarity and an exception to the rule than the normal practice of freelancing. You can work directly with the customer whom you have known and worked for a long time. If you have a large number of jointly completed and paid projects, both of you are satisfied with your cooperation and would like to continue it further, it makes sense to try to work not through the exchange.

You have already found a permanent customer, and it makes no sense to overpay the exchange for each of your projects. But there are small nuances. So, for example, you should work on full or partial prepayment. Whatever it was, but still there is a chance that you will be deceived or try not to pay. Such payment will be a guarantee that you will receive at least part of the money in which case. It is also important to remember that not every person should be tried to work around the exchange. This can only aggravate your situation, ruin your reputation and lead to unjustified losses of money and time.

Some customers may even be intimidated by such an offer, as they will think that you want to deceive them. In such conditions, you will simply aggravate your situation and get only unnecessary problems. Usually the commission of the exchange is not so big that you try not to pay it. In many cases, this is a justified payment for your safety and for obtaining a guarantee of honest cooperation.

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 of all, we need to greet 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.
