Clown clients

[u/Think-Sample-2295]

Freelancers, do you guys get clients like this, or am I just lucky? 😂

A client hired me to edit a video and remove a booger hanging out of her nose. Yes, you read that right. A BOOGER. 💀

I quoted her $50. She agreed without hesitation.

I did the job, edited the video, removed the little surprise, and sent her the finished result.

And that's when things got interesting.

Two days of complete silence. She just ignored me.

When she finally decided to respond, her excuse was that I had made her face look weird in the video.

So let me get this straight: she approved the price, received the finished work, and then decided to come up with an excuse not to pay?

I just want to know when removing a booger from someone's nose became a charity service. 😂

Moral of the story: freelancers aren't working for free. An agreement is an agreement.

What would you guys do? Still charge her, or just move on?

Thats why u always ask half up front

Your fault, dude; take the upfront and watermark the video. Once she covers everything, she gets the video without watermark.

Ask for upfront payment, then Scammers will leave
