I see this happen all the time at Demand Studios. People go in the forums and type 20 words per minute to complain about the last re-write. Then they follow up with more posts. Then they post the re-write request and have other people review it. Then they follow up with more posts. THey spend hours on this rewrite request without actually a) getting it done or b) moving on. Would you argue with your boss for 3 hours if he wasn't going to pay you for it? I make $60 in 2 hours writing for Demand Studios. I get rewrite requests 20% of the time. My rewrites get rejected at less than 4% of the time. I made 6 grand in less than six months because I didn't take revisions personally. I kissed butt, made the changes, and moved on. As I noted in my Demand Studios e-book, I can take a few literary punches for 6 grand! http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/writing-efficiently-for-demand-studios/8099028 RE: not taking revisions personally.

Consider it bookmarked. I particularly like the advice on not underselling and being able to repurpose your work. A monster list indeed. Consider it bookmarked.

But I guess the biggest challenge is actually collecting payments. Its such a big headache. I guess freelancers need to concentrate a lot on building relationships. Otherwise some company will take up their position. <abbr><em>Abids last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ZoyidianThought/~3/p2nXEUihdr8/" rel="nofollow">Any Crazy Engineers out there?
