Freelance pro-tip! Every project should have a contract, and that contract should clearly outline: 1. The scope of work you will be providing (i.e. number of words/images/finished pieces). 2. The exact timeline they are paying for. Absent these terms, you risk getting stuck in revision purgatory.

If I had a nickel for every time a colleague has told me about being trapped in a project providing endless labor to a needy client MONTHS after they were last paid because of a contract with vague or nonexistent terms about the scope or end date I would have at *least* a dollar.
