📚 How to Spot Bad Clients

💸
Vague pay = low pay. Clients with real budgets state them. "Budget is flexible" usually means they want to lowball you after you're invested.
📋
"Quick project" is almost never quick. Real project scopes have deliverables, timelines, and requirements. Vagueness protects the client, not you.
📝
No contract = no protection. Any serious client welcomes a contract. "Trust-based" is a red flag, not a selling point.
⏰
"Available 24/7" is unreasonable. You are a freelancer, not a salaried employee with overtime pay. Set clear boundaries upfront.
🔄
"Unlimited revisions" kills profit. Always define revision rounds in your proposal. Unlimited = client can change their mind forever.
🤝
Net 60/90 is unfair for freelancers. Standard freelance payment is NET 15 or upfront 50%. Large corporations use NET 60/90 — you're not their bank.
