Guess Who’s About To Be Fired As A Client?

I do video post by the hour, and I work according to directions from clients. My terms are payment upon receipt.

I submitted an invoice for $3,500.

Client: “I have only $3,000 budgeted. Can you help me out?”

Me: “Okay, I’ll discount this job for your budget, but on the next job where you make a windfall because I did the work for less than you budgeted, I expect a bonus up to $500.”

Silence.

Then, he took sixty days to pay the discounted invoice.
