I like long-term clients and middle men websites the best. However, I also take on short-term work that sometimes turns into long-term work. Not including my middle men websites I am currently working for 7 clients this month. If I take on anymore I might explode so I am good with this amount. It always depends on how big the project is. One this month is huge, so I probably won’t be taking on anymore. Usually I would take on about a dozen clients.

I prefer a mix of both, because that is where the demand is.

Now I prefer working with fewer clients who have large projects. Right now I only have four major clients, but they all have big projects. One client has over 300 articles to be written. One needs 65 articles. One needs five articles per week. The final client usually orders 30 articles at a time, and he always pays immediately upon receiving the completed work.

I’m not working with middle men anymore because I have been burned too many times. I recently had someone refuse to pay me for a sales letter – she had been referred by a client of mine. I did a project a few years ago for $1,300 and never got paid a cent – the person who worked with me was not the person responsible for payment. He was simply the graphic designer on the project. So, no more middlemen!
