working for yourself. (client services)

It seems that a majority of clients looking for some design work to be done will look to freelancers over big design agencies due to financial reasons and to get a more personal experience. If you are looking to be a freelancer, you can expect some clients looking to take you for a bit of a ride and try and squeeze a lot more work out of you than they first requested. So make sure that everything is clear between you both before you begin your deisgn process and mention that if any more work needs doing that the amount they pay you will have to be increased. In some cases especially if its a big job with a great deal to do you should consider taking a deposit to show they are committed completely and to protect yourself.
