OOF. A big red flag I encountered in my freelance life: asking me to pitch “at least ten topics” and then they’d pick one for me to write... but then how do I know that doesn’t end up being their content next week? I hate it.
Oh god yeah, I wish I'd known early on what I do now — my proposals and content calendars full of ideas made their way to the prospective client, but their money or credit didn't make it back to me. We all learn this lesson and I just hope anyone who hasn't had to learn this the hard way found this post useful.
