Fiverr client asked for 'unlimited revisions' and I didn't catch the trap for 4 weeks
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?

A buddy of mine had the same trap with a logo design gig and never saw the end of it.

The real trap isn't even the client not paying, it's that they come back six months later wanting endless tweaks for free because they think they own the creative process. @the_daniel hope your buddy set that boundary early or learned it the hard way lol.

A buddy of mine did a website for a small bakery, charged them $500. Three months later they wanted a full redesign because their menu changed. @the_daniel that's exactly what your friend's dealing with, you gotta put it in writing that revisions expire after 30 days.
