Tip to freelancers and small firms: Use contracts! Don't do handshake agreements! Contract not only protect you, they protect your client and make you look more professional.

This is GREAT advice - I've been through these exact scenarios and these hard-won lessons are GOLD. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Ran, super timely and helpful as ever! I'm just in the process of finalising my contract, so this was really insightful!

Greetings from Los Angeles, California! I just found your KZfaq Channel! Thank You for your great videos!

Thanks for the tips Ran!

i had fire my first client this year last 2 month, the boss is a very nice guys, but his manager is really annoying. She bring me wrong feedback from her boss, and ask many things out of the jobs, like how do you do this, can we do that,... . I dont mind that sharing the knowledge, but sometimes its really cross the line. Next time i will prepare my research about the client more carefully before do the contract, cuz i dont want to work with someone like that again.

Hi Ran, I'm trying to understand if the "subscribe" button here 8:13 is the red square the some height of the white. Is getting me mad not knowing it... please tell me!

200th like! Thanks for the tips, Ran!

I am digital marketer. When a client losses there temper at you. I am working for free for experience. The client is bedroom business they want to rank against national business here in the UK. I tell her to work on the branding and in return I get told I am having to do more on seo. Help!

Also, what milestones would be in terms of building a website for example? Like one would obviously be a landing page, but what else, how many milestones should there be?

Now I’m back to this video with full of frustration. The client keep finding the way to make me work for them for free. Like this is a bug from the beginning. And I blame myself for it . I cannot sleep and keep thinking about how to talk with them.

I think that some potential clients would not want to pay downpayment because of trust issues and what to do in that case? Just not work with them?

I totally agree that going to justice could be more expensive, you have to spend money and time, also since you are revealing the problem to the public it is bad for your reputation as a freelancer or a business, because what really counts is the relation and not just the transaction. So you can for example give the client more time or you can finally end up firing him even if you lose some money

Ran check out this youtube video entitled: "Man Gets 'Rude' Woman to Reimburse Him for Movie Ticket After Bad Date" Apparently, it is not that hard to sue people.

I have had a client that became such a big micro manager, I could not take it anymore. The client decided to fully dictate the design of a site, and wanted to have everything exactly how she wanted. At the time, I was just starting out and did not want to leave a client unhappy.So I did suck it up, and worked very hard to do things just how the client wanted. In the end, we did settle any arguments and came out with a website that looks just how they wanted it. But I will definitely never work with a client like that again.

I literally just don’t want to work with this person anymore , any advice ?

🎉 if you take advice about firing your clients from a guy in a video wearing a T-shirt and undershirt that he probably had on for bed, it’s not going to go well for you…
