Client: Just wanted to tell you again we loved your work - the cupcake marketing plan is brilliant. We don’t know how to thank you.

Me: I’m so glad. No thanks necessary – I’ll settle for the project fee we agreed on.

Client: Oh no, I’m afraid we don’t really have the money for that. Is there some other way we can repay you? Free cupcakes for life?

Me: I’m diabetic.

There’s nothing sweet about getting stiffed. Tell deadbeat clients to stick it in their cakehole and add what you’re owed to the World’s Largest Invoice to help freelancers #getpaidnotplayed.
