erosiaart: Good point. But I have an advantage here. I don't advertise. ALL my clients are recommended by previous clients. And none of them have stiffed me yet. In fact, I stopped dealing with 'strangers' years ago. I only rarly get commissions for bryce work. My main business is the stationary/graphics, all printed and in your hand kinda stuff. A client knows that he will get EXACTLY what he asked for and gets to approve everything I do by way of proofs. I then ask him that a: He approves the final proof and tell him b: I am 'going to print' and that he is committed to the project once I have actually started to print the stuff out. If a client was stupid enough to go back on the deal and not pay, he won't get the product and I will blacklist him and tell the guy who recommened him exactly what happened. This means that throughout our community the guy who stiffed me will have a hard time getting anyone to do a deal with him. I had one client who moved out of the area. When I asked about him, the guy who recommened him to me was terrified that I was owed money (I wasn't) and offered to pay any outstanding bill. It works for me.
