Torm rated 9 months ago- I'm only at student level when it comes to freelance work but i've had my share when it came to the company not being able to pay me due to financial difficulties, I've still not heard from them since. Never do work during your college/University years that may affect your course work.

- A lot of wisdom here in a very compact format. The most important rule of thumb however is to never trust clients unless you have a reason to and always demand payment up front, at least half the amount so the risk is shared. Your chances to sue someone who refuses to pay you and thereby commits IP theft are near nil so make sure it just doesn't happen by being smart and choosing your clients, don't let them choose you!

- Top 10 lies you'll hear as a freelancer -- and the counter-arguments you need to know!
- "Do this one cheap (or free) and we'll make it up on the next one."
- "We never pay a cent until we see the final product."
- "Do this for us and you'll get great exposure! The jobs will just pour in!"
- On looking at sketches or concepts: "Well, we aren't sure if we want to use you yet, but leave your material here so I can talk to my partner/investor/wife/clergy."
- "Well, the job isn't CANCELLED, just delayed. Keep the account open and we'll continue in a month or two."
- "Contract? We don't need no stinking contract! Aren't we friends?"
- "Send me a bill after the work goes to press."
- "The last guy did it for XXX dollars."
- "Our budget is XXX dollars, firm."
- "We are having financial problems. Give us the work, we'll make some money and then we'll pay you. Simple."
- Top 10 lies you'll hear as a freelancer -- and the counter-arguments you need to know!
