Project Payment: Fill & Download for Free

Payment.That’s what does it for me.Lovely, lovely money, put into that bank account.It’s making me feel like coding again tomorrow :)

I’m a freelance artist. What triggers me so hard are these types of clients:“$300 for 50 simple images? I thought that it would cost $80 maximum!”“Hello! I’m working on a children’s book and need it illustrated. The book will be 50 pages, and I want the back and front cover done as well. The drawing style needs to be hyper-realistic and fully-colored. Glitter is appreciated but not necessary. I need an artist who is highly motivated and willing to work long hours 7 days a week for up to two years. I need an artist who will make this book their first priority and not let other work, family emergencies, or life-threatening situations interfere with this project. Payment will be given when all of the work is finished and delivered.Budget: $200P.S. I’m looking for professional level artists with an M.F.A and at least 15 years of experience in the industry.“Hello (copy-and-paste artist’s name here. Do not include these instructions). I found you on a random portfolio website and you seem gullible so I thought I would contact you. I absolutely love your work, (but I can’t tell you which piece of work of yours I love because I have two hundred other randomly selected graduate artists to contact today so I don’t have time to look at your stuff.)I think you would be the perfect fit for this ultra-cool project I’m working on. It’s a 500-page graphic novel. I need a talented artist such as you to work on it. It’s going to be published by this super famous and established publisher. They’re a big deal and make billions of dollars a year.Unfortunately, the publisher doesn’t have much of a budget for this. I can pay you $800 for illustrating and coloring the entire 500-page graphic novel. Did I mention that I just love your work? Because I do. I love your work. I love your style. I love you.But listen, money isn’t really important, isn’t it? I know the price is low, but guess what? I’m going to insert a bunch of mumbo-jumbo in this section in hopes of masking the insultingly low price that even I know no fool in their right mind would agree to. But you’re a college graduate, and you have student loan debt to pay off, so I can insult your intelligence.And for real, just take a moment and think of the exposure you’ll get when this book is published several years from now. I even heard from a random guy mopping floors in my publisher’s building that this novel might be featured in an obscure magazine that’s on the verge of bankruptcy. So your work might end up in this magazine, which means that it might be seen by a few people (most likely the editor’s family). And think about this… your art in this novel might be seen by a small child who might become the next president of the United States. Just think about our future president saying that he was inspired by your art!I really hope you see how much of an amazing opportunity this is. The exposure, my beloved (copy-and-paste artist’s name here. Do not include these instructions), the exposure!Oh, this novel needs to be finished in a few months so I would appreciate it if you responded right away.Sincerely,“Person working at super famous and rich publishing company, the same person who will ask you to make 20+ changes to one character’s nose”P.S. *whispering seductively* Think of the exposuuuuuuuuurrrrre.

Maybe some kind of indicator on how much i can trust a freelancer as a project owner based on completion of previous work and time taken by the freelancer. And as a freelancer i would like to know how much i can trust a project owner based on previous projects/payment made and not just based on reviews. I am a freelance web developer and many times it has happened that the project owner stops responding in middle of a project, payment not made on time and so on. Based on this something like a "trust meter" would be useful.
