Shoutout to the client who tried to talk me down from $50 to $30 an hour then ghosted me
Last month I was talking to this guy about writing blog posts for his ecommerce site. He liked my samples and everything, then hit me with the classic "your rate is a bit steep for my budget." I held firm at $50 because I know my work is solid. He goes quiet for two days then comes back and says he found someone for $25 an hour. I checked out that writer's portfolio and it was full of typos and broken links. I just let it go and moved on. Three weeks later he emails me asking if I can do a rush project because the cheap writer flaked. I quoted him $75 this time and he actually paid it without arguing. Has anyone else had a client come crawling back after trying to lowball you?

Facts @mason.drew, lowballers always learn the hard way your rate was fair.
