Some Clients Get It

This item was filed under [ General ]

So I was just posting today’s list of blogging jobs, and in one ad the client said they account for each post taking about an hour to write. I could have cried.

It was the first time in a long time I saw a blogging job ad mention timeframes without saying something completely ignorant like “you should be able to write 5 posts per hour.”

    My favorite line is “This should be easy for someone who knows what they’re doing.”

    HA – classic!

    In that case I’d tell them since they must “know what they’re doing” to know it’s “easy,” they should have no problem doing it themselves. :D

    The “big wig” internet marketers teach their students to say that in bids to encourage low bids. Isn’t that insane? That’s why you’re seeing it so much.

    My response is pretty much the same as Jennifer’s. If it’s easy…do it yourself!!
