Work For Hire Seo Services - What To Watch Out For!

In a world where people continents apart work together for that same cause

, and may not even know it, it can be confusing to hire someone when you cannot be familiar with them. Especially in the realm of online services like SEO services. A person who lives in a far away country may be willing to do the job you want them to for a fraction of the pay of hiring someone from your own country, but what redress do you have as a consumer if things do not go as expected? Not much really.

Hiring free-lance experts from other countries can be daunting so I have assembled a list of a few ideas that will help and protect you. Follow them and you should do well when you decide to hire abroad.

Know how to protect yourself!

Dealing with work for hire websites, like E-lance.com, free-lance.com or any of the many others, is probably your safest option. These types of services usually have a protected escrow process where you deposit the money for the project up front, and it is either released in partial payments as the project develops, or it is held until you are satisfied with the results. This is designed to protect both, you and the contractor. This way the money for the project is already in the hands of the third party, so the contractor can be paid, but still gives you a chance to dispute any problems you may have.

Allowing the contractor limited artistic license!

Sometimes, unscrupulous contractors will agree with you on the project technically or conceptually but try to change the project as they go. They may offer to add in certain benefits as a part of the deal. Once they get you to agree to something additional, that you may not know what all is entailed, they can simply run up the price tag and you have no recourse because you agreed to something you did not know about.

Watch out while communicating!

One very sneaky thing a contract may do is try to take your conversation off the website communication board. These boards are frequently slow and awkward to communicate through. To "expedite" things, contractors will some times as you to chat through an "IM" service. This is no big deal, but making changes to the project in this manner will not be beneficial to you as the mediator, who is a third party person brought in to help iron out misunderstandings, will only use what is posted on the work for hire website board.

As an example of this, I hired a person from half way around the world to provide some SEO services for my website. He claimed to have done certain things for me and requested some money. I agreed without validating it released the first disbursement for the SEO services he said he had done so far. Then he asked me to communicate with him through Google Chat to iron out some details he was seeking clarification for. While on the instant chat program he said he could offer additional SEO services if I would send him $500 through a money sending service. He explained that he could do more if he was paid more, and cutting out the work for hire site would allow him to make more by him keeping their brokerage fees. Needless to say, I did not send him any money, and he did not do any more SEO services for me.
