  Old  First steps on the road.


Hello, this is my first topic in your great forum; I follow up your forum and I have learned lot of things from you, especially from Julian.

OK, my question is:

How can i manage a deal with clients through the internet, which comes first: money or design?
Especially that I prefer to deal directly with the client, not through sites or freelance auctions (with all my respect to these websites).

How can you persuade the client that he must pay first before receiving any thing?

I believe that it is more comfortable for both (client and designer) when they make the deal face to face.

However, online, I think that it is a little bit different.

When I receive an order from my client, usually , he pays a deposit, then a percentage before every stage until he receives the complete design.

There is a contract (thanks to Julian) and invoices, and this does not happen online.

I am taking now my first steps - as I mentioned in the topic's title – to a new career as a freelancer designer and I hope that you give me your advice as you do always .

Thank you.
