I am getting such messages that waste a lot of time asking for free work as a sample for there project:

Me: Estimated cost would be $ 350 and 15 Days (not 7 as in the request)
Please let me know if that works for you.
Please feel free to ask if you have any doubt or questions.

A Client: one more things

A Client: this project is my company project but alot of people are just waste time and my company don’t want to do this again but i convince them , that i will find a professional which is going to do it
so if you can do it give me update about my project at least\ if you can do this 7 secs video and show them , we can now do the whole project… if you can do this to show my company , then we start the whole project

Just offer them to create a quick test task. If they still want FREE sample, in 90% of cases they will get free video (or anything else) and never order your services

Thanks!
Recently some client asked for the sample and then he shared it with other seller. By coincident that seller was my friend.

I never create samples for a specific buyer. I have my own samples that I show buyers, everything else has to be paid for.

Nope. Absolutely not. You have plenty of examples in your gig, and if they can’t figure out if you’re the quality/type for them, they’re either trying to scam free work out of you or they’re just lazy. Either way, you don’t want to work for them!

Thanks you so much !a buyer who is belligerent and demands free unlimited revisions is a person who, at best is just rude and doesn’t value your time and professionalism, and at worst is actually scamming you for free work.
