No, I won't work for that! How to deal with low-paying clients

About this episode

Low-paying clients. We've all been there as freelancers - so how do you deal with it? In this episode, we cover several scenarios:

  • What to do if you're offered work then told the rate is ridiculously low
  • How to raise your rates with low-paying clients you already have
  • How to weed out low-paying clients from the get-go, without wasting time
  • How to educate clients about market rates.

Tune in for the scripts we use with clients, how not to burn bridges (in case that client pops up somewhere else or suddenly gets more budget) and how to nip scope creep in the bud - which often seems to happen with low-paying clients! Plus, we tackle the great debate about whether to put your rates on your website and some strategies on how to use your website as a digital gate-keeper for the tyre-kickers who'll just waste your time but not hire you (or pay you what you're worth).
