Key challenges for a freelancer

For a freelancer the focus is to deliver great work, on time and earn great referrals by the customer. While there’s a lot of technology available, most freelancers look for the easiest to use and quick to implement solutions that solve their key problems.

Payments is a key problem area for any freelancer. Getting paid on time is critical. To gauge and ensure commitment most freelancers charge an advance payment. The usual method is an NEFT (in the Indian perspective).

Now collect advance payment as soon as you sign the contract!
