Kathy, I couldn’t agree more–I remember one client in particular who wanted me to write very difficult copy on a technical topic for practically free, on the grounds that it was a “free education.” This sort of attitude does exist.

It’s nice making plans and getting prepared with a fresh approach to the new year 😉

Have a great day!

No way should your payment be compromised because someone says you’re going to get “free education”. You didn’t ask to be taught anything!

However, I’d just like to caution new writers about clients who try to use it as a bargaining point. “You’ll be getting a free education out of it” is not a reason to reduce your price.
