How to work with hourly pay on Russian freelance so as not to be deceived?

Question

Freelance

Here is an understanding of how hourly payment works on foreign freelance exchanges, the client reserves money in the system, after which a special program registers the time spent by the freelancer, and the money is withdrawn from the client’s account in favor of the contractor. It seems so, if I'm not mistaken. In this case, the freelancer works with confidence that his work will be paid.
And how is the situation with Russian freelancing in the case of hourly pay? According to what scheme is work performed with hourly payment, if the client seems to have agreed with the contractor on hourly payment, then what is the guarantee that the customer will pay for the work after, for example, two weeks of work on the project?
After all, it may be that the customer at the end of the work may say that for some reason the work does not suit him, or he may start working according to this scheme with several freelancers, in order to then choose the most profitable result of work for him, or the customer may simply disappear , leave, get sick, or simply stop responding to messages at a certain point.

Answer 2

Forgive me for being frank - since when in the world does ANYONE do ANYTHING without deceiving another? Realize the scale of the problem!
First, people came up with a reputation. That is, there was such an alpha male, he kicked everyone and had a bunch of friends, because he is the strongest. And only a stronger jock could defeat him. But there were frail people who realized that they couldn’t win, but they wanted virgins and food. And they invented such gods and became experts in them. Now the concept of smart, authoritative has appeared. You could be weak, but cunning. That is, now it was no longer you who tried to defeat the strongest leader, but you tried to deceive him - they say you are talking with the gods, and therefore God forbid he show off - flood the den, name the plague and you are generally a terrible type. And attention - strong, but stupid took and surrendered. He decided - it's better I will listen to the gods, well, fuck him - because I will be guilty for the tribe, that half died because of the plague, and nothing will happen to him, the priest. That is, they threw the strong.
Then they fixed it all by inventing paper bills . This is when it became unsafe to carry a kilogram of gold in your pocket - they can take it away. And they came up with banks that lent paper, in which it was written "to the one who presented this - to weigh so much gold." And this gold accumulated, accumulated, accumulated. And quite recently, in the aggregate around the world about 80 years ago, banks suddenly united and said, "you know what? Now money is a means of payment. And we will not return gold to anyone, now everything can be bought for paper, and it is the state that prints them, which is clear forge, it protects us." And for those who show off - we will send guards and cut off the fucking head. Again everyone was thrown. (do you understand what happened? you were suddenly told that now you are subordinate to the one who prints banknotes. and if they decide to change the currency in the country, you will become a beggar. this is a monopoly on your money, which you seem to have, but in fact it can disappear at any moment ) The
USSR tried to make a shortage of goods and introduce coupons. To buy rare products, you had to work in a factory. This solved some of the problems with wages and unemployment. About the same thing a man named Johan Geisel did in his experiments - he introduced local money in a small village. The village simply told everyone that "your money does not go with us, go to your village." As a result, the village began to develop, and the exchange with other villages was through REAL value - cows means flax, cotton - in exchange for something - TVs, refrigerators. And it solved the problems of the village. Because all the problems are born from the fact that there are a lot of people in the world who, smiling and talking on the phone, earn more than those who work hard and do not smile at all. Half of the planet - does not work, but only talks.terrorism and fraud , "for example. And in the case of the USSR, the number of those who understood everything reached a critical point and they took it and fucking ruined the country. Because they had money, but they could not buy anything.
And in general, people remained predators . You can't not be deceived, you can be " deceived to a lesser extent and score a bolt on it"... It sounds tragic. But it's better to look at it like this. Just decide for yourself - here I have so much money, and I can give it to the project. Tell the freelancer about it. If he doesn't say much, estimate for yourself "can you give him more. No? Apologize and look for someone cheaper. Maybe it will create more problems for you, or maybe you will run into a stupid person who works for pennies and does well. As a result, you will deceive him. You know, relax! You can to change this only by starting a nuclear war. Although it seems to me that when you go out into the ruins later, you will receive a bullet from an "honest" person.
The point is that YOUR MOOD is good. Do you think that you are being deceived? And how do you like it? Do you like it? No.
There is an option to change the world through pressure, yell at freelancers, run into everyone, teach life.
There is an option to change the world through the gingerbread. Pay everyone more, respect them, love them, praise them all the time.
And you can change yourself, becoming a little wiser and more cunning. Like all people.
They know they are being deceived. But the scales have what they get. And they believe that they receive more than they give. And they demonstrate that they give more than they receive. That is, they know that they still have work to do, and they give the guy a little more than he wants. For self-giving. Again, if it suits them. They know that the guy will gladly come again, and if he did well, you can pay again.
For your topic with hourly pay - talk to a freelancer. If you see that he hangs a lot, does little, you can disagree. If you feel that he understands (the phrases appear in his words - "yes, everything is just there", "it's done like this - and then the story of how it's done", "well, if it doesn't work out, I'll try to return it to you, or at least at least I’ll tell someone who will help "- of course, a cunning seller can also say this. But the seller most likely does not understand technical issues. Understand the minimum and ask. Sometimes it is useful to listen to what a specialist will teach you. Interesting and generally useful for the future. "So the seller won't teach. He promises and takes the money. You feel that the show-off starts to twist like "no time, a lot of orders" - send it to the neck. What do you need? Feeling safe, safe hands. So he should take care of you and keep you informed. And not to show that he is a super duper dude. But you still won’t reveal an experienced freelancer who has been a salesperson inside for a long time. He hangs, and takes care, and takes the money, so...just allocate money, see how he works, and try to take care of him the same way he takes care of you.
That's how we live.

Answer 3

1. Western customers pay 3-5 times less than they would have to pay directly.
In these conditions, the hourly rate still rules.
You cost him next to nothing.
2. Western sites are very focused on reputation. Ours are quite loyal. It is more difficult to register a second account there. Therefore, our cheating will allow. And do not press.
For these two reasons, the hourly is not accepted, or at all.
Or simply the price of the work is floating (as if it were an analogue of the hourly rate) - the contractor simply names the price at the end of the work, this is a common practice with constant cooperation.
