How to protect yourself as a freelancer

You may notice one significant difference between working at a corporation and being a freelancer. As a freelancer, you are a little bit more vulnerable. However, you can change it. 

Here are four ways how to protect yourself:

1. Always work under a contract. Execute the contract before beginning a freelance project to avoid legal and financial problems. 

2. Form a business entity. That means that if someone is suing you, they cannot go after your personal assets. Also, you can write off many business expenses.

3. Plan your finances wisely. A freelance workload might be inconsistent, so it's better to have some savings.

4. Send your clients the paid link, and they get access to your work only after making the payment. Have proof that your client accessed your work with a digital fingerprint and access logs provided by Paid Link.
