How Online Workers Retain Clients, Avoid Being Let Go

 This week, one of the gigs where I'm a regular at is thinking of letting go another teammate in the PH.

Working online is great and fun, but you can still be let go so always be careful of your work output and standards. 

Again, just like in hiring online workers, the main consideration is The Client/ Employer cannot see what you are doing, unlike in a regular brick and mortar office.  In a regular office, you can afford to not say anything because people can see you are doing your job.

For online work though, there are 3 things that have to match up so your client is assured you are doing what you should be doing:

• What you say you are doing, should match
• The output you submitted or the activity logs in the website.  And both should also match
• The results your client is aiming for.

Online workers should have a wee bit higher work standards than the usual employee because they are not seen.  Everything is based on quality work output and a little more communication than usual.  These little things should be lived daily and internalized if you want to work long-term in the freelance telecommuting industry.

For clients to be happy, and for you to avoid being axed (if you are a resident online worker) then make sure those 3 things are in order.

You can do it.  It's easy and doable if you want to.
