How Do Online Freelancers Get Paid?
Often, as soon as the task is completed and both parties are agreed that everything is okay, the job is marked as complete and the hirer will pay over the agreed amount to the freelancer. Some freelance websites or particular tasks involve an ‘Escrow’ system which aims to guarantee upfront that both parties will be happy with how the job is completed. Usually, the hirer pays the money to the freelance website as soon as the job is awarded and they hold the funds until the job is marked as complete and everyone is happy. In the event of any dispute, the freelance website will arbitrate before the money is either paid over to the provider or refunded to the hirer. Yet other tasks can be carried out on an hourly basis where you ‘clock in’ to the freelance website while you are working and invoices are produced based on the number of hours you’ve actually been working on the project. The money builds up in your online freelance account until it reaches a minimum payout level, at which point the freelance site will either send the money over to your bank account, send out a cheque, or pay you via PayPal etc. Some of the freelance sites also produce credit card style cards which they will send to you and which can subsequently be ‘loaded’ with your freelance earnings.
