First of all, you have to push this out of your mind at some point, because MOST private request customers aren't like this! It's like any job - there are always some customers who make us feel terrible, but most are fine. Don't let it put you off. You have heaps of supporters here! :) I would defin...

Hi Scott, I had a client who wanted six articles per month as an ongoing thing. She contacted her account manager from CC who set it up as a private request for several months at a time (before the request expired they had to update it now and then). Every time I submitted my articles I found the re...

Don't be nervous! It's nice to have you here. Try your best and enjoy it!

Hi. Lovely to meet you. Yes, it's definitely quiet on here at the moment but we're happy to chat if you have questions.

See you around.

Nice to meet you. It's unusually quiet on the forum just now - but we're here to help if you have questions.

Abba May

Oh thank you! So cool.

That's interesting... Thanks for the update!

And that's such a cool little picture!

I finally found it - you have to click on "my account" then "edit my request settings." I don't suppose there's any point mentioning the "acccess" spelling mistake on that page because the same mistakes seem to stay on the site for years quite happily. :) I am level one...

Well, escturtle, I think there are plenty of things we don't know so we learn as we go along. I didn't know those settings applied to private requests but I always wondered, so I figured 100% was best. At least now you know what to do to keep selling to that client. Good luck!

Wow, HiredGun, you sound like you know what you're doing! I'd love to hear the results of your analysis. :) I think of it from the buyer's viewpoint and I think they'd prefer to see 100% before buying. We can worry about people copying and stealing our work if we reveal too much of it, but if people...

Oh no! It's such a horrible feeling! Are you still emailing the client about it now and then?

Abba

Oh, that's interesting ScriptMaster. Thanks so much for that!! I'll try it.

Abba

If the customer made a private request, surely she must have an account manager who she can contact directly? I'd ask her to do that.

Abba

That's strange! :( I guess she can only see a two-paragraph sample. Do you think your default setting for the preview section of your article is set to 100%? If you're not sure, go to "my account" dropdown box, click on "edit my account" and scroll down to "default long summ...

I had no idea! Thank you for that.
