My biggest failure on freelance: not working with a contract, without it there is no limit to the size of the project.

@StefTechSurfer 3 жыл бұрын

Me: Not working. 😅

@thegalhorowitz 3 жыл бұрын

Im stuck with that now, he is MILKIN me. =D

Please could you share with me a contract exemple for ecome website design (or a template if its okey for you). Iam just starting, cant even afford to buy a contract template lol Thank you

Lessons learned. 1. Having a contract is important. You need to make sure you (designer) and the client are on the same page. 2. Working with friends and family is hard, so make sure that there are boundaries are set in place. (I personally don't work for friends and family) 3. Clear communication is extremely important with the client to avoid the project being scrapped.

Thank you so mush for this. If its okey for you, could you share with me a contract template for ecom website design (iam just starting 😅) Thank you for your time

This is probably the the 6th or the 7th time I'm hearing your high school freelance story, but still loved it!

100$? My friend don't even give me a treat that cost about 2-3$ 🙂 I designed a logo and banner for his business. 🙂

My rule of thumb … never take on a client, supplier or employee you would feel uncomfortable about firing. Because sometimes you need to.

I'm just starting my freelancing career, a very helpful video for me, to avoid unnecessarily disgust with the clients.

When I was in college, my boyfriend told his friend I would make him a gaming blog WordPress website. When he told me this, I said "no way, lol I don't do work for free". His friend legit thought I would just make him a website along with come up with his blog's name and logo and teach him how to use Wordpress. WTH! My boyfriend was like "you have to, I already told him you'd do it." and I said, "you're going to have to tell him you've made a mistake". We were upset with each other for a while and I almost broke up with him about it. Just craziness

Also worth mentioning that the contract needs to be really thorough on the type of retribution (ie. hourly rate vs target based), I'm not a freelancer but if I will ever freelance I really need to understand that stuff and how to make it work.

Had to go to the dictionary for 'scrumble' as I have been saying 'scramble' this whole time. Turns out they both apply! I legit thought for a second scrumble was a combo of SCRUM and scramble. haha 🤣

Your friends about the $100 logo sounded so unreasonable 😓If I was your friend at the time - I would have told her to chill the heck out - the crying is just ridiculous 🙄 sorry that you had to deal with that

can we show the 3d video that you make at that time, sir

Yeah, Number 2 is a pretty annoying one. Usually when it's Family or close friends I'll just do it for free, that way no one is frustrated. I do warn them though that it's just to get them started, and once the project is in a finalized state, if they want revisions they better have income through the project to start paying my rates, or higher someone else to take over.

These are some crazy stories xD I don't know if I would go to poland, he did it probably on purpose. It makes no sense that he all of a sudden doesn't likes it

@unknown-ir5gj 3 жыл бұрын

yeah wanted to ask this in your web designing course are you gonna show us how to make websites or just design them

@thegalhorowitz 3 жыл бұрын

He does both I think, depends on your level, he has a 10 k website course.

100$ is really playing role in our lives (Was doing the project for a friend :d) I made a design system and user interface kind of middle size app with about 12 unique sqreens it took me about one month but I assume it was the same thing here I just had a good communication and didn't stop after getting new tasks I knew this gonna happen but I did it anyway (Maybe called some kind of syndrome :d) even tho I am working to higher budget clients right now and didn't have a necessity for portfolio. I hope I am gonna learn something from this :d

After freelancing, you realise how much you can hate other people, even as a nice person.

Great video! I need to Backup my files asap. BTW in Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely he talks about the friend situation. He says charge them full price or FREE, no in between. Giving them a deep discount is a LOSE / LOSE. Unfortunately I messed up recently with this... *smh* Give it free or full price everybody

I had a client one time asking me to create a cryptocurrency website for him and we agreed that he will pay me currency after. After I designed and created the website, he asked me if he can pay me with a tutorial to crypto instead. I disagreed and took down the files in the site, but wasted a lot of effort in creating them. Lesson learned: Demand a downpayment for the initial efforts you put in the project.
