"Love the logo! Can you also do letterhead, business cards, a brochure, and maybe a quick website? We can talk budget after."

— asked of a designer, after a $150 logo project

"While you're in there anyway, could you just add a login system? Shouldn't take long since the site already exists."

— asked of a developer, day before launch

"The article is great. Can you make it 3x longer but keep the same price? It's basically the same article."

— asked of a writer, at the invoice stage

"Small thing — my nephew has a band. Can you also edit their music video? You're already editing our ad anyway."

— asked of a video editor, mid-project

"We showed your mockup to 11 people and each had one tiny change. So just eleven tiny changes. Real quick."

— asked of a designer, revision round 6 of 2

"Before final payment, can you train our intern to do what you do? Should only take a few sessions."

— asked of a consultant, at handoff
