The Biggest Freelancing Trap Nobody Warns You About (Time Vampires)

Описание: Freelancing isn’t just about clients, money, or technical skills—there’s one hidden danger you must watch out for: time vampires. In this video, I explain what time vampires are and why they are the biggest threat to freelancers, especially beginners. I share real-life experiences from my own freelancing journey, including mistakes I made when I desperately needed money and said yes to the wrong clients.
These clients demand high-quality work, constantly negotiate, and often don’t respect your time or your value. If you don’t set boundaries early, you can easily get stuck in a cycle of underpaid work and endless revisions. This video will help you identify such clients early, handle pricing conversations confidently, and protect your time and skills. If you’re freelancing—or planning to start—this advice can save you from burnout and regret.
