Nice article and title

Quite liked the bit about when the contact sucks. Just to add, for me my personl hate is clients that constantly never have enough time to get you site content and then moan that the stuff you’ve thrown together isn’t good enough. Still, I’d love to know what people do when a client starts out very good and then turns totally crap when you ask for payment

Thanks for the great information. I actually used your information on “When the Contact Sucks” and it helped iron out some of the wrinkles that were growing between us.

Thanks a ton!

This blog post made me laugh. I guess sometimes you have to ‘suck it up’ and just get on with the job but if you have the luxury of having more clients than you have time available, then drop them like a hot potato!

As a freelancer, which comes with risks and responsibilities, we are untitled to make our own price for tight deadlines, or lousy clients. Robert Kiwosaky (rich dad) wrote extensively on the issue. I understand that, and I use it.

@ Kris – That’s the biggest reason we work only via email – EVERYTHING is in writing, and it’s proved VERY useful!

Good, straight-forward thoughts. Thanks for sharing them. One thing I would add: put it in writing. Although a signed proposal or scope of work may not be enforceable if differences result in a lawsuit, generally it will help keep a project inline.

Fair enough. So where does one find clients that suck?

Any suggestions?
