Last week I received an email from a potential client.

He was eager to work with me and wanted to get started as soon as possible.

But during our emails he kept avoiding a crucial part of the deal...

The price.

Instead of talking about price he kept mentioning consistent work and lots of it.

But because he was offering so much work, he though this meant he could get a discount.

I quickly shut down this idea as I'd be working more for less money.

And honestly, I think I dodged a bullet.

As soon as I told him that his budget wasn't right for the amount of work he became frustrated.

He told me he can "go find another copywriter who will do it cheaper."

Which is true...

But I'm almost 100% sure he won't see results.

You see, these cheap clients don't value your skill set and they're always more hassle than they're worth.

Every time I've worked with a cheap client they've:

• Micromanaged

• Requested edits

• Told me how to write

• Spammed me with messages

And worst of all...

They left me so tired that I didn't have the energy to find a client to replace them.

So while it can be good to work with a cheaper client when you're first starting out, use them as a stepping stone.

Get some experience to build your skills.

And then replace them.

Nothing will make you hate copywriting more than a terrible client.

If they threaten to go elsewhere let them.

The money will never be worth it.

Have a great week,

Copy "avoid cheap clients" Maverick
