We Are Not On Call!

Ok today was seriously rediculous. Why do people feel that freelancers are like doctors; on call 24/7. It is amazing how clients feel that you should do whatever they need at the exact moment they need it. However, when it comes to your requests to meet to go over the project, they are never around and then blame you for not being productive.

I usually set a specific block of time per client each day in an attempt to be efficient and organized. However, set backs like this cause shifts and delays. My suggestion to all other freelancers is to create an agreement each time you take on a new project or client that requires them to adhere to rules you set.

The first one should explain that you are allotted a certian amount of time to perform the task. Another key point should explain that if they do not respond to your requests within 24-36 hours you obtain the right to terminate the working relationship without issuing a refund.
