Is Your Freelance Site Secure?

October 10th, 2009 No comments

One key aspect that online tech money makers must put into consideration is the security of the site or web domain that they are working with. With the constant influx of billions of dollars over the internet per hour, no wonder many scammers and unauthentic tech sites have tried to steal most of the people’s hard earned electronic cash.

securityHowever, this is not always the case. Fortunately, money making sites such as GetAFreelancer, Scriptlance and ODesk all have their own security strengths. In this regard, it is best to highlight Scritplance since it may be the freelancing site with the most secure and tech safe money transactions done over the Internet. Compared to other freelancing sites, Scriptlance has a tighter security protocol that any hacker can really be challenged.

For one, Scriptlance has an automatic IP detection system. Yes, most sites have this mechanism pre-installed into their system to automatically harvest the IP addresses of their visitors but what Scriptlance does remarkably well is during user logs. When a particular user logs into the site, their IP address is always recorded. The trick now is what if this same user will use another computer bearing another IP address to log into the same account? Well, Scriptlance really treats this as a threat, hence they always ask for a security question from the user to ensure that you are still THAT same user.

This is very different from other freelance sites wherein there is basically no scrutiny over this area. No matter how many different IP addresses you use, still you can log into your account with ease and without any interruption whatsoever. This scheme from Scriptlance may sound too tight but mind you this is practically very useful in countering fraudulent users and account hacks. You can just imagine how fast it is for somebody else to withdraw money to your account and transfer them into their own account if ever they managed to crack your user login info. Your hundreds or thousands of dollar commission may all be gone within a days time, the worse if everything happens in less than an hour, which is very much possible.

Moreover, your email will automatically be notified that your account was successfully opened using another IP address, at this certain time, and informing the account user that the security question you placed at the front line of your ‘anti-hacking defense’ was successfully cracked. Therefore, if somebody else managed to log into your account then you’ll know eventually.

Another tech security measure done by Scriptlance is the way they usually ask for a re-log after a specified number of minutes of being idle within your account. Again, this may seem very troublesome for the ordinary user but as a matter of fact, this helps a lot in instilling secure log-ins into each online account.

All in all, Scriptlance may be way ahead compared to GetAFreelancer and ODesk, in terms of tech security measures. But still, all of these freelance sites are pretty secure so there is little or less reason to worry about your static electronic money online.

GetAFreelancer or Scriptlance: Which Is Better?

September 8th, 2009 No comments

The Internet is very rich with online money making opportunities for every freelancer who is working at home today. Freelance sites such as ODesk, Elance and many others are among the most popular ones. But out of these many domains, two stand out among the rest – GetAFreelancer and Scriptlance.

However, every freelancer questions as to where they can start and what firm they must pick. Well, please find below some of the advantages and or disadvantages of GetAFreelancer and Scriptlance.
 

GetAFreelancer
 
Advantages:
 

  1. You can enroll your account for a monthly gold membership for less than $20 that enables you to stretcthumbsh your bid limits to more than one hundred online bids. In this connection, you will experience no more project fees taken for each bid that you will win.
  2. There are plenty of projects for every programmer or provider with any skill type.
  3. There is a very friendly user interface.
  4. You can make use of the superb, perhaps unrivalled PM (private messaging) mechanism to communicate between project buyers and providers.

 
Disadvantages:

  1. There are lots of limitations in bidding. There are those projects that can only be entered by providers who are gold members whereas other projects can be entered by those who are only new providers with no single rating at all. This is practically difficult if ever you are already an established writer or freelancer in GAF with lots of good ratings.
  2. You are discouraged from negotiating deals outside of their site. You can even be sanctioned if ever you will be discovered to have made transactions directly out of GAF.

 

Scriptlance

Advantages:

  1. There are lots of online projects, perhaps more than what GetAFreelancer has to offer.
  2. You can enjoy unlimited bids wherein you can bid as much as you like.
  3. You can have a portfolio of your resume so that the project buyers can scan through them and assess whether you are qualified or not.
  4. You can report your earnings outside of their site. For example, if you happen to receive payments directly from PayPal then you can ask an authentication from your project buyer so that it can elevate your standing high up the freelance site.

 
Disadvantages:

  1. There is a $5 project fee for every won bid. This means that your account will automatically be deducted with the said amount every time you win a bid. This is contrary to what GetAFreelancer has been doing wherein even if you win 20 projects in a month, you won’t be deducted any fee whatsoever. In Scriptlance, if you win the same 20 projects then you’ll pay the cumulative sum of $100 for an entire month. This happens because there is no gold membership for providers at Scriptlance.
  2. Many users at Scriptlance may find their interface to be less attractive. Although this is relatively minor, this will still make an impact to the number of freelancers that will register in their site.

 
Overall may it be Scritplance or GetAFreelancer, every user can sign up and assess for him or herself what best suits his or her online freelancing needs. It is a highly competitive workplace so it’s good to start now. You can even work under both if you like!

Three To Dos Before Writing Online At GetAFreelancer or Scriptlance

August 3rd, 2009 No comments

There are lots of things that a typical tech freelancer needs to do and know before writing online at freelance sites such as GetAFreelancer or Scriptlance. Among all of the most important things, three of the most basic are highlighted below. Read more so that you’ll know how to level up your writing skills and perhaps earn more at freelance writing sites.

1. Observe Word Count

You must pay particular attention to the word count of what you write. At GetAFreelancer and Scriptlance, the project buyers usually limit your work to a certain word count. Based on experience, you will later find out that most projects are priced at per article per word count basis. This means that each project owner will hunt for writers to do some writing jobs at $3 per 500 words per article and the like.

To help you in doing such, you can simply use Windows’ MS Word. Don’t worry this is just simple tech. Just turn on the word count toolbar of your MS Word typing program by right clicking at any toolbar space near the menu and tick the word count option. With this turned on, you can simply highlight your content and see how many words you have made so far. The word count result will actually appear inside a box at the toolbar section.

Moreover, there are other free online websites that will let you paste your content to do a final assessment to the word count of your finished product. Just make a search at Google, for example, and you’ll surely bump into one of these domains.

2. Write Original Content

Almost all project buyers at freelancing sites all need and want original content for obvious reasons. The Internet nowadays are full of redundant content that are slowly being hunted by popular search engines like Google to track the original source and shut down (or even penalize) the duplicate hybrid sources. In this regard, you as a freelance writer must make sure that you will only make purely original and copy-free articles. Hence, you need to get your ideas from at least 3 sources so that you won’t end up copying or plainly rewritindupe free prog the content from one single source.

To help you, you can verify your output by pasting it against free and paid duplicate scanning tech programs online like Copyscape and DupeFreePro. I suggest the latter because you can readily download the program and install it in your hard drive so that you can perform online plagiarism searches without paying any cent.

3. Make An Outline

Organize your thoughts by making an outline. This is a standard procedure, not only in online writing at GetAFreelancer or Scriptlance, but also with all forms of writing outside of cyberspace. This will surely ensure that you write in a cohesive way and practice a more unified approach in writing down your thought. Take note that all project buyers at freelancing sites want to get free flowing articles from their writers. And it will be good to know how to make effective topic outlines for your articles.

With these three important to dos before writing, you can surely be at par with most top caliber online freelance writers at GetAFreelancer and Scriptlance. Make full use of the advantages of tech and start earning good money online through writing.

What is a freelancer?

July 14th, 2009 1 comment

Many individuals today, most especially nurses, are always asking what a freelancer and its relevance to tech truly is. Is it some kind of a computer software a digital device or a person? Well, freelancers are actually a group of individuals who are self-employed without being tied up permanently to any specific or definite employer.

Oftentimes, the work of a freelancer is now more practiced in the realm of journalism or writing. And because the Internet has paved the way for more opportunities for any person to publish and write content over the web, the demand of freelancing writing services is booming by the minute. This is the reason why many employers who are based online are actually looking for their prospect writers at freelancing websites like GetAFreelancer or Scriptlance.

Although there are loads of other works that are being offered to freelancers, online writing services are still the creams of the crop. Any person no matter what his or her profession is can become a writing freelancer. Nurses are one of the most able freelancers because many of them possess great knowledge over a wide field of subject matters.

Rarely, contracts are no longer enforced in this kind of work. There are also some significant differences with the payment options. Nurse freelancers and all freelancers in general can be paid by the hour or on a daily basis but often they will be paid after each project will be finished. As a writing freelancer for example, the original author usually takes hold of the right to own the content. In this connection, freelancers can also make use of the full advantage of tech online by hunting for publishers who will buy original content. On the contrary, more and more projects are now being set up as ‘works made for hire’ wherein the content will belong to the buyer or customer immediately after the completion and full payment to the freelancer was made.
