RE: How Do You Negotiate Work Offers?

in #business7 years ago (edited)

Isn't this the most wonderful problem to have Lori? I would have offered to be your writing pimp if I knew anything about the industry but I don't, so I will leave that offer off the table ;P

What to do with all the opportunities? If I were you the first thing I would do is increase my service fee. That way you can qualify the leads you receive. One of the biggest mistakes people make as they grow is not to increase their service fee (including myself). I would also be selective with the projects that I take on to ensure that my client and I can grow together (don't take the boring assignments as it will feel like eternity ;P ).

PS - Get a writing pimp who has your best interest at heart, like genuinely. I don't think it is necessary as there are some talented artists who don't have managers. I know Hugh Grant used to be his own agent for years and did rather well during that time. He once said in an interview that he felt he knew himself better than his agent, and as he knew what he wanted there was no point paying 15% to someone else :)

May you grow big and strong like an oak tree :D (I mean growth in spirit not in physical size lol!)
