I'm so curious though, about your 'non-paying' client... I hope you aren't already undervaluing your own services. It's one thing to offer a free consult, etc. but entirely another to give away your services. Just don't sell yourself short. See you on the boards! __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates! (Available in PDF and Kindle versions)

As for my non-paying client, it's a person who I began working for before I began my business and once they get some advertising revenue they will begin paying me. It began as something I enjoyed doing, however, if I end up with paying clients that take up that time, I will definitely be discussing that with my non-paying client and letting them know I can no longer do it for free.
