I got this email from Ben Settle today and I thought it was particularly on topic with this group:
I usually only tell my Email Players subscribers about client gigs I'm approached with.
But today, I'm doing something different.
I'm telling my WHOLE list.
Anyway, I first met this perfect client in Summer of 2011.
This one is ALWAYS ready to hire.
(Hint, hint...)
And, is like a "super client" dream come true for any hardworking, business-savvy service provider or freelancer. (The only thing THIS client is missing is a cape and tights...)
Why do I say this?
What makes this client so groovy?
Well, for one, this client will NEVER challenge your ideas. Will NEVER ask you to work on projects where you don't believe in the product. And will NEVER (ever) devalue your time or treat you like some kind of underling. Plus, this client will ALWAYS pay you on EVERY project you work on forever -- all up front.
But that ain't all.
This client only has projects you WANT to work on.
For products you 100% believe in.
And is willing to pay you whatever you ask.
(Without question, haggling or hemming-and-hawing.)
After knowing clients like this one I met, I can guarantee your time will always be respected. Your talents will always be appreciated. And never will there be a deadline you can't handle.
This client is TOPS.
They will never leave you nor forsake you.
And there's NONE of the drama you get from other clients.
Sound almost like fantasy land?
Well, it's not.
This client really DOES exist, and is just waiting to hire you, whenever you want, at the drop of a hat.
They don't care about your portfolio.
Your track record.
Or if you're a man or a woman, young or old.
Just say the word and the gig is yours.
Who is this super client?
Yourself!
Hey, am I saying never to take on other clients?
No!
Do what you have to do to survive.
But personally, I think it's a mistake to rely on other clients exclusively for your income, as there are many things in their business beyond your control (especially if you have some kind of contingency/royalty deal gong on).
So I suggest also doing your own projects, too.
Start small, if you must.
Maybe find a product on clickbank to sell.
Build a list.
Then sell to it!
Write an email every day.
It sounds really simple.
(Cuz it is.)
But it will pay you dividends for years to come.
Far more than a client ever will.
