I love how you broke client vetting into five simple measurements. I use all of these!

Wonder what Freud would have said about that, Anon? 🙂

Wendy, you bring up a good point. Even one of those things out of place can be a deal breaker, depending on what it is. Same for me – no way I'm writing 50 articles in one week. That's not quality writing – that's quantity writing and it doesn't fit with my business vision.

It might be strange, Lori, but I recently had a dream about my grandmother's front yard – and it looked like it was located in a foreign country!

Everything you have listed here is important for me to measure the client up. The project, is probably the most important in most situations for me.

Generally, I will be contacted with snippets of info. relating to a project they want done. Then they ask me how much I would charge for it. The project info will either peak my interest in learning more or it will make me roll my eyes and politely decline the project.

Not long ago, someone asked for 50 articles (400 words) to be done in one week. That was all the info. I got about it. I, personally, refuse to do that, so I declined without bothering to measure up the other items you have listed. I don't care how much they would pay for it. It's simply not something I can handle, so I don't care to know more.
