how to avoid getting screwed on odesk so
I got a great question one of my youtube
viewers love you guys blitz gamer triple
zero wrote in to say I’m new in odesk
and I don’t know the payment process and
also how I know the employer will pay me
or not by the way nice video so when I
talk about odesk I’ve done some videos
from the employer side of it and the
employee side of it and so when you’re
our contractors you’re the employee join
him here’s what you really want to look
for okay there is a process that the
employers go through to verify their
payment methods so with each contract
that you look at you can look at who the
employer is and they’ll have a little a
dollar sign in their profile that’ll say
payment method verify you want to look
for that if it’s grayed out and it’ll
say payment method not verified that
means that the employer you haven’t
verified their payment method so they
still make a good potential employer but
it’s a it’s a bigger risk for you
because they haven’t verified that they
can actually pay so you want to you want
to watch out so I’d look for the payment
method verified and there’s multiple
payment methods they can go through and
so if you look at that little green
dollar sign some people have a full if
it fully filled in green and some people
will have it somewhere along the way so
it’s like three-quarters grain in one
quarter gray that means that they
haven’t completed all the different
methods so for my account it’s a full
green things should be check that out
but it means that I verified my paypal
account it’s also verified by credit
card and what it does is when I very for
my credit card as an employer it
actually builds me a certain amount i
think it’s a dollar or less than a
dollar and that shows that my credit
card actually works like i put in a
valid credit card they’re actually
putting money on to it and so they’ll
start to as the as I hire you and we
work together bill they’ll take money
out of my credit card and that doesn’t
work
my paypal so this is backup options to
go with their so definitely by looking
at the payment method verified looking
for that green dollar sign you’re much
less likely to get screwed the other
thing that happens is so odesk will take
the money out of employers account and
put it into to take ten percent
commission and then they’ll put it into
your account and there is a method to
dispute I mean that happens
automatically right you’ll you’ll either
if you’re doing it by the hour you’ll
charge your hourly rate and they’ll
they’ll take it out once a week or if
you have a fixed fee if something goes
wrong if if the employer doesn’t like
what is happening if they don’t want to
pay you there’s a dispute method where
you can both submit your argument 20
desk and odesk will review it and make a
claim make a judgment the scene you know
who’s right who’s wrong but your best
bet really is to find reputable people
so on top of looking for the payment
method verified you can look at the
Stars right so just like eBay ranks its
vendors you can look at past work right
if no but if they haven’t done any work
on odesk before then it’s riskier for
you to take on right but if they if they
hired lots of people before and have
over 10,000 hours and have all five star
reviews then it’s probably safe back and
then for the employer side you know this
is important is you take all of this and
put it in reverse where you want to
verify your payment methods right you
want to show that you can conclude in
your paypal and your visa not just one
because that’s a screening tool you want
to get the best candidates you want to
make sure that you have your payment
methods all very far you want to work
hard like I work hard to get all of my
reviews 5 star everybody who’s ever
worked for me has left me a five star
review last time I checked I’d so that
helps separate me from other employers
who when I put up my next job i’m going
to get better candidates because I’m
verify my payment
and I have privileges so that is how to
avoid getting screwed on oh that’s for
