Why does every job seem to be a fight to establish the value of copy? I have more and more people telling me what they’re going to pay me these days vs. letting me estimate the job. And please, no more unlimited revisions included in the fee. I’ll give you one round of revisions. Any more than that and the client is changing direction. Which warrants an entirely new estimate. Or how about those “quick turns” that turn into “slow pays?” I have to get it to them fast, but they don’t feel the same sense of urgency in cutting the check. Anybody else facing this (besides Gary Jensen, who is the GOD of copywriting boundaries)?!!!
