How will you prove you have completed the work?

When disputing a buyer's claim that you have not completed the work, it helps to provide some type of proof of work. And, this might differ for each specific type of service. For instance, if you are an article writer, your proof is usually the article file uploaded when you submitted your work. For forum posts, you could screenshot your final post (which proves you reached a specific post count) and if later the forum owner rejects the order when completed, you would have proof that you completed the job as requested.

But there are many other types of services provided here, not just those based on writing.

Please suggest other ways to provide proof that you have completed work.

For instance, how would you document that you had provided Facebook fans; Twitter followers or website traffic?

This would not necessarily be proof that you submit to your buyer upon completion of the job, but something you would hold onto for yourself just in case you were required to refute a buyer's contention that you had not completed the job.

Please provide tips so that other sellers here can learn.

For traffic providers, it might be harder to prove they have provided the work. I don't provide this service, however it seems a very hard thing to prove. After all, wouldn't you need access to the buyer's site stats to determine if your traffic had reached the site?

Another good source of proof for your work is the communication between yourself and the buyer. If the buyer has been encouraging about your work for the entire time you were working and then suddenly rejects the order when it's turned in, that looks suspicious. A buyer doesn't just say he's happy one one day and then suddenly disavow all that on the next when it's time to pay up. By his own words, the buyer accepted the work.

Take a screenshot of the page you have completed and provide that as proof.

Keep a copy for yourself, just in case the customer contests that you have done the job.

I take a screen shot of the page before and after I had submit for completion. That is the proof. Then, I copy the link address, save in ms word. I make sure to interact with the owner of the site to confirm that he had received the article.
