An Interesting read

Came across this interesting article targetted towards freelancers and as to how to charge/ justify your charges to clients. I already abide by almost all of them but yes, it was a refresher to read it all again and remind myself that what I have as a talent of creative writing is something I should be proud of and cherish. I feel like attaching this blog post to all the clients who like "re negotiating" the price front.

Be proud of what you do and always work towards bettering it, that is the way forward!

Enjoy this interesting blog post.

Keep scribbling! :)

Ohh yes, the client too replied back... will be reviewing the documents on partnerex.com shortly. Has now asked me to work on a sumary for the business enabeler for www.partnerex.com. Lots of work here people!!

ok, we move on...

I hear back from the client. Changes suggested. Will work on them sir!!

I prefer to write articles which have topics like features/ advantages/ benefits etc. in bullets. This not only makes reading easy but also aids in navigation throughout the article. The other benefit of incorporating points and bullets in a write up is that you can now highlight keywords and phrases and this way you will be able to convey your point more easily and efficiently.

Will work on the suggestions conveyed to me and then will post the final write up here.

In the meanwhile talks have been initiated with another prospective client for a writeup for his website. He wanted a sample article along with my quote which has been duly sent by me. The status quo see's us as always stuck on the quote! :)

Well I have tried my best to justify myself for that price as well as for an initial advance payment so let us see how long does it take( that is if we do) for us to move to the next stage of discussions. I demand an advance because I do not wish to be played smart once again.. ohh ok.. it looks like I now have another topic to write about wherein one of the client acted smart... In this profession of mine, people of different mindframes do I meet! :) I am louuuvinng it!

Feedbacks and rounds of edits

Heard from the client regarding the draft that i mailed him he said "this draft looks good.
can you also add a paragraph to each feature you see in the product."

Will work on the changes now and send the same to the client. Quick feedback from the client surely helps maintain the crescendo of work! Will post the final approved version of the draft here on the blog.

Am loving the challenge to work on this project as this area of writing in IT is completely new to me. A good client too plays a very important role in a project as he has the capacity to introduce in the workspace a sense of comfort and freedom. Glad to be associated with this project for PartnerEx.com!

Welcome back work

With parents leaving back today got back to my work.. lots to think about! Will be starting work on a client website from tomorrow... the website is that for a project management tool. Need to get myself familiarized with the website first so that I can describe it out in complete clarity. The concept is exciting for sure! A website which allows you to keep track of all your projects virtually and provides you the chance to seek real time reviews and feed backs from the client! I hope I end up a little knowledgeable on IT once done with this project... A sure bonus for my line of work... :)

Will be posting my drafts here along with the comments that I receive from the client for the same.. Till then let us enjoy the Sunday! :)
