Many beginners, and not only authors, want to bypass copywriting exchanges, considering them unprofitable and too cheap. However, without experience and sufficient knowledge about false customers, copywriters often run into scammers who offer to write a trial article, a free article. How to get around deceivers?
Trial article
Everything looks fair here. The copywriter finds an advertisement for the recruitment of authors and contacts the customer. He provides the candidate with a free test task, that is, the copywriter knows in advance that he will not receive payment for his work.
What's the catch?
As soon as the customer receives the article, he informs the author that the work contains many errors and is of absolutely poor quality. However, after a couple of days, the copywriter finds his article published on the site, and completely without corrections.
Are there honest customers?
To distinguish an honest customer from a scammer, pay attention to the test task. The average article size should be from 600 to 800 characters, if an order for 2000 characters is received, this is not a good sign. The trial assignment should be the same for everyone and be publicly available, if the customer sends the work by mail, it is better to reject such an offer. And finally, the last, perhaps the surest sign is the deadline. The test task cannot be urgent, it is given several days. If the customer demands to complete the work within 2 hours, then he is an obvious fraud.
