Freelancers Payment Issue
Why freelancers should protect their work before payment
Freelancers Payment Issue
Studies show that many freelancers face issues with not getting paid after completing work.
This is a global problem affecting freelancers worldwide.
Freelancers who take small design jobs worth ₹500 or ₹600 often do not have the opportunity to ask for advance payment. Unfortunately, some people take advantage of this situation.
After receiving completed work, some clients intentionally refuse to pay by making excuses, claiming dissatisfaction, or simply ghosting the freelancer.
Why watermark is not always enough
At this point, you might be wondering:
Why not send the work with a watermark or in low resolution until the payment is received?
That helps in many situations, but it does not solve every problem.
