HOW CODERS GET PAID

As a Writer, Marketer, Web Designer, Programmer, Coder, Et All on vWorker, you are paid in a multitude of ways. Although, payment depends upon how you can receive funding. The main way of vWorkers getting paid is directly through PayPal. But, there are some countries that do not allow this type of transaction. You’ll need to check with your government or payment processor prior to choosing a payment method.

That’s not to say you can’t change your payment method. During the course of the month I often hold back money to use on the site. You can also split the funds and leave some for credit and also change the way you receive your pay. One month you may want to get paid via PayPal the next month you may want a cheque. Some months you may need your money fast while others you could wait for the cheque to arrive. It all depends on how you need to get paid.

Also keep in mind that in some countries, your cheque may need to clear the bank as well. This may add an additional 3 to 9 days to getting your money.

Here are the vWorker payment methods:

Some of these options may not be right for you if you have not made a lot of money during the month. Weigh all of your payment options seriously prior to making a transaction. You may have to wait and build up enough money in your escrow account prior to having it sent to you. Look at the payment possibilities and weigh them against how much money you stand to lose for the transaction. Its typically a safe bet going with simple snail mail – but the wait may be too long. Try to stagger your payments.
