The client kept asking for 'just one more revision' on a logo until I had redrawn the same flamingo like 14 times. Has anyone else found that cheap platforms just mean you get cheap clients who don't respect your time?
Took a gig writing website copy for a guy in Austin back in March. He kept sending back tiny changes like swapping commas for periods, and I didn't realize his package said 'unlimited revisions' until I was 30 hours deep. That one line cost me about $800 in lost time because I couldn't bill for extra rounds. Anybody else get burned by that unlimited revision loophole before?
Figured I'd save time by paying someone who knew the platform to spruce up my Upwork profile. Guy had great reviews, seemed legit. Two weeks later, absolutely nothing changed in my invite count or views. Ended up rewriting everything myself in an hour and started getting messages the next week. Has anyone else had luck with paid profile services or are they all fluff?
I was super skeptical about a $50 logo gig someone messaged me about on Fiverr two months back. Figured it'd be a headache with endless revisions, but the guy was clear about what he wanted and paid fast. He just hired me again last week for a $200 branding package, no hassles. Anyone else had a cheap job turn into something steady?
