Heard someone at a coffee shop say they only use Fiverr for 'disposable' work and it made me think about how I'm branding myself

Fast fashion" - nailed it @ross.kim, that's exactly what disposable work feels like.

Oh man, I just read a piece about how some buyers treat freelance work like fast fashion. In my experience, the clients who stick around are the ones who see you as a partner, not a temp.

Totally feel you on this, @ross.kim. I had a client last year who would send me briefs at 11pm expecting revisions by 9am the next day, and it felt like they saw me as some kind of content vending machine. It's exhausting when you're just a line item on their invoice instead of someone they actually trust to solve problems. The partners always end up being the ones who get better work out of you too.
