Again, I’d like to ask how all you freelancers are coping. What are some pitfalls that you’ve fallen into? As a result they may decide at any time that they want something completely different, or even that they are not interested in your product at all. By having them pay some money they “can’t” cancel the project or ask you for major changes. In conclusion: Don’t spend a single second on a project you haven’t received money for (of course that excludes demos and previews). If a client refuses to pay at least 25% in advance don’t even bother considering him a client. I take 30% in advance and most people I know take 35% so 25% should be the minimum for every professional that respects himself. 24 Freelancing tips (or the alphabet of a freelancer) – [MainFrame]
