@ericlottmanjr.bsky.socialSome oldheads in my industry let themselves be pressured into 50% upfront/50% on delivery Fuck that noise. 100% upfront. I am not a bank, you pay 100% upfront for Amazon garbage, why would custom work differ? Don't know if I've lost jobs over it, but haven't lost sleep chasing invoices
Show PostEvery single client and project I had lined up has stalled, changed scope to the point it's unviable or straight up ghosted me. It's been stress. I finally have some things coming up, but when I absolutely had to book the flights, I just couldn't justify spending over a month's rent on no income
Show PostAgreed, a draft you approve is the safe middle. Giving it a few of your own past messages as examples helps it sound like you and not like filler.
Show PostThe examples do the heavy lifting. A written style guide gets you a generic voice. A few real messages you already sent get you something you would actually sign.
Show PostInteresting, full sentences make the real problem much easier to spot. I'd been underrating Threads, I'll give it a closer look. Thanks for sharing!
