At the beginning we took every work, we don´t said NO to anything! But then, with time and experience, we have changed. Now we ask simple questions that act as filters to determine if the work is “for us” or if we should not take it!

Very simple and very effective!

When I first started freelancing a few years ago I took just about any work I could get my hands on because I was afraid the minute I started turning down money was the minute my business would dry up. But after about a month or so of working my fingers to the bone and being completely dried up I realized that I had to work smarter not harder to survive.

No!

Even though sometimes I really need the business, if the work is far beyond my capabilities or at a rediculously low rate I turn it down, no second thoughts.

I’d rather starve for today with my reputation intact than suffer than have it tarnished with a poor or negative feedback due to lack of skills and inability to deliver quality work.

I turned down just a few offered so far. For some that shall take me much time for small amount of money and few where I couldn’t give the best service.

I essentially only turn down work if the client appears to be a poor match for me. For example, really low value of design (“I’ll pay you $50 for this logo”), ridiculous timelines, generally questionable attitude towards design etc.

The other main areas where freelancers turn down work – eg. too much on their plate, out of their realm of expertise, etc – I try and still take on, but do so letting the client know that it will be a while until I can get to their project, or that I’ll be outsourcing this part of the design, etc etc.
