I second what Sharon said. Simple. Effective. And hopefully it helps you remember that you really are worth more. We all know you are! 🙂

A simple, but effective strategy, Cathy. 🙂

HA! I should have clarified … the "solution" is that the increased PITA tax should chase the client off (since they were concerned about price in the first place 😉 Though I suppose I ought to be careful about that or someone will take me up on it!

Pretty great advice from a "work-in-progress," Cathy.

And yes, you're worth it. And more!

Thanks, Ashley and Anne. I find the older I get, the more I find the PITA tax-eligible prospects are not worth it. 😉

And some aren't even worth the pita tax… thanks Cathy, good article as usual.

Oh, I like that idea! If a client acts like that, they should be willing to pay a hefty PITA tax (not a line item, of course) to work with a professional writer. Next time I encounter a client who questions my worth and yet still wants to take advantage of my services, I'll just increase that PITA tax by 20 percent. That should solve things 😉

Likewise, Cathy. 🙂 And thank you for your words of wisdom here, and over the years.

Aw, thanks for the kind words, Lori. One of the best days of my life occurred when we met through the magic of the online world. 🙂
