Attention all people who want to make money at freelancing sites via doing free online jobs: Please be aware of few things that you are not suppose to do. Especially if you are a new comer, then you should know what things you are not allowed to do and things that are allowed.
Many people learn about these un-allowed things, the hard way. In fact some people do a violation after working at freelancing sites for few months.
This happens because of the lack of knowledge about Terms of service [TOS].
Anyway: the very first thing to keep in mind is that you should always get jobs using freelancing sites. Do not try to work outside these sites just to avoid the fee, which is taken from your earnings. You may come across many buyers who will want you to work outside these sites for them: many of such buyers are scam and the one that are not: they want you to work outside because they do not want to pay any fee.
Always be honest. We should be thank you to freelancing sites for providing us an online opportunity where we can make money online via working at home. And the most interesting part is that they provide us online jobs for free: that is, we do not have to invest any money to get these jobs.
So in return: the least we can do is to work according to their TOS. Never involve in any violation.
The fee they take: we do not have to pay it from our pockets right? They simply take this fee from the money that buyers pay us when we complete the given job.
It is 100% fair for them to take this small fee when someone at their site earn some money.
A person may be able to cheat and some money via doing jobs for buyer outside the freelance sites: but he cannot rely on just one or few buyers. Sooner or later, he will have to come back to find more jobs/buyers.
Freelance support team members are always on the hunt for people who cheat.
So it will be not long before they detect this activity and once they find out about it, they will simply terminate the account of such people. The best case scenario for such people is to get their account temporarily suspended if it is detected for the first time.
Why should we cheat the site which offers something superb?
Something that allows us to make money online at home: something that does not require us to invest any cash. We have a great deal of freedom in a way that we can do any number of online jobs that we want to do: and we can work whenever we want to work: but this freedom does not allow us to violate any TOS.
So if you are a new comer and have not yet read TOS of the freelance sites where you are working, then I guess you should consider reading the it ASAP.
Most of the freelance sites do not allow us to work outside their site boundaries. This is to make sure that no one gets scammed and that they get their share of the money. So next time, if a buyer offers you to work outside the legal boundaries, then simply say No: and report such people to the support team.
