The \u2018Iron Man\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a project with high promise, the kind that will shake the world, bringing a tide of revolution that will impress the mortals. The client speaks about it like it is inventing a new form of metal. Twice. In his mind, of course.<\/p>\n<p>You will have to hear the term \u2018revolutionary\u2019 30 times before you can even slip in a question about how the project actually works. Depending on the project\u2019s authenticity, this could be a new high or new low in your freelance career.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/freelance-project-types\/incredible-project.jpg\" alt=\"incredible project\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/figure>\n<p>Undeniably, though, most freelancers actually love this specific kind of challenging project, as long as the revolutionary project pays your bills. Whenever I come across a project like this, I <strong>demand a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/design-contract-clauses\/\">contract<\/a> and 50% upfront payment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>2: The \u2018Clone Wars\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>So you are asked to develop an innovative website that will reboot the Earth and change the way humans interact (again), and it sounds like a mashup clone of Facebook, Pinterest and Vine combined.<\/p>\n<p>After some period working on the project, the technical part gets sticky, so you request for more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/time-tracking-mac-apps\/\">charged hours<\/a>. They tell you the budget is tight, so they make do with a Pinterest clone. Apparently, it\u2019s all good for them as long as it\u2019s a clone of a mega-buzzed social media platform with a coincidentally identical design.<\/p>\n<p>You deliver the project, take your fee, and walk away, without mentioning those Pinterest clones you have visited for reference, or developed before (it\u2019s the dark side of the freelance business, after all).<\/p>\n<h2>3. The \u2018Jack of All Trades\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>In this era, it\u2019s certainly better to be a jack of all trades than a master of one, as it\u2019s really hard for me to think of freelance projects that require only one set of skills. However, what happens is that in some projects, the client thinks you\u2019re a master of all trades!<\/p>\n<p>After you hear all those requirements and work details from the client and translate them into a note about job requirements, your requirement may look like this: <em>Mastery in CSS, CSS3, HTML5, JS, PHP, MySQL, Python, C++, C#, C, Photoshop, Illustrator, Copywriting, SEO, Animated GIF\u2026<\/em> and on and on. It is deadly important for you to <strong>state clearly what you can do before any work starts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/freelance-project-types\/jack-of-all-trade.jpg\" alt=\"jack-of-all-trade\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\"><\/figure>\n<p>If however you actually master all of them, then it is time to test whether your client is the master of paying all bills.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/jack-of-all-trades-master-of-one\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: Jack of All Trades vs Master of One for Designers\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Jack of All Trades vs Master of One for Designers<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/jack-of-all-trades-master-of-one.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-15382 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/jack-of-all-trades-master-of-one.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">Jack of All Trades vs Master of One for Designers<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEvery year, large batches of design students graduate and launch their careers in the market. Some of them...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>4. The \u2018Trouble Saver\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>You are hired to clean up the mess that the previous designer left. Judging from the spaghetti code strewn all over the project, your experience tells you that it should be done by amateur freelancers\u2026 not, college students. It seems like your client has hired cheap labor, but ended up injuring himself.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a relaxing job as you\u2019re just fixing the atrocities that previous designers committed, but be sure to <strong>request the full payment before handing over the project<\/strong>. Who knows if the project you\u2019re currently fixing is actually a compilation of work that has been unpaid by a client on the run!<\/p>\n<h2>5. The \u2018Sixth Sense\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>Philosophically speaking, the project itself is the client. It revolves around the very soul of the client himself, which is commonly referred to as \u2018feel\u2019, and you need to have at least a Bachelor of Psychology, or a sixth sense to figure out how (in the world) you can deliver this project.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Design a website that rocks and pops with everything edgy and spicy\u2019, you will be amazed at how many adjectives clients can come up with to describe absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/freelance-project-types\/guessing-client%20demands.jpg\" alt=\"guessing client demands\" width=\"800\" height=\"541\"><\/figure>\n<p>Any design task or project goal will change according to the client\u2019s artistic sense. But you simply don\u2019t have time to guess his every whim, so your best bet is to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/creative-brief-from-clients\/\">narrow down the project outline<\/a> with as many details as possible<\/strong>. Otherwise, you will be stuck into the \u2018I don\u2019t feel like it\u2019s right\u2019 black hole forever.<\/p>\n<h2>6. The Project Within A Project<\/h2>\n<p>The Project Within A Project is the best example of why you <strong>should sign a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/freelance-contract-clauses\/\">contract<\/a>, but not an agreement<\/strong> with your client.<\/p>\n<p>So you just submitted the design and happily wait to smell the fragrance of cash, only to receive the client\u2019s rejection the next day, and the problem is not even about your design. The problem is its own logo. They command you to design a new logo for their brand, just to make the website design look good, or they won\u2019t consider the job done. A new baby project has been born!<\/p>\n<p>You know you are (tightly) screwed, but you don\u2019t want to lose the money since you put a hell of lot of effort into it. After working furiously on the logo, and the mascot, and the copywriting, and the SEO\u2026 you are finally fed up and decided to <strong>state the obvious, that you are a web designer<\/strong>, then they promise to talk to their web designer about your concern.<\/p>\n<p>But wait, I\u2019m their web designer! The mess goes on and on, and the only confirmed thing is you will not receive payment any soon.<\/p>\n<h2>7. The \u2018Need for Speed\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>It often starts as a task, then ends up snowballing into a project. A wild client appears and pitches a project, and they sound like the world will end tomorrow if you don\u2019t help them, then here comes the two keywords \u2013 <strong>fast and easy<\/strong>. You feel like the deal is okay and since it doesn\u2019t take much time\u2026 why not?<\/p>\n<p>You started to work on the task, but suddenly they demand more details than before. You threaten them by demanding more time, and the shocking thing is they say no problem!<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/freelance-project-types\/speed-up.jpg\" alt=\"speed up project\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\"><\/figure>\n<p>Since you have other projects on deadline too, your time suddenly becomes very limited since this new project piled on. Now, it\u2019s your turn to feel as if the world is going to end tomorrow. This project teaches you a lesson: tell them that you are charging double, just to see if they actually need you to rush it just to save the world.<\/p>\n<h2>8. The \u2018Fight or Die\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>This is the project that makes you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/habits-to-destroy-freelance-career\/\">feel bad about yourself<\/a>, but ironically it\u2019s also the one you will show off to your friends and children. Since most freelancers are naturally adventurous, we tend to accept projects with immense challenges that make us question our technical and mental capabilities, only to realize later that the project is simply too hard to beat.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you have 2 choices: admit you can\u2019t do it and surrender, or slave through it day and night, just to break the surface. Since surrender is for the weak, you decided to go all-in, and retreat to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/freelancers-motivation-tips\/\">weep<\/a> at the corner of your room at night.<\/p>\n<p>But in the end, everything falls into place, and you walk away not just with a paycheck but also with a great appreciation and respect for yourself. You feel like you can conquer anything from now on while giving yourself advice that runs along the lines of \"<strong>know when to drop it and run\"<\/strong> for a healthier and longer life.<\/p>\n<h2>9. The Cheap Project<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s just what the title literally means: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/paying-for-good-design\/\">cheap project<\/a> from a cheap client, but this time, you are forced to accept it because you need that urgent money to pay your rent. The strategy here is to receive 50% of the payment upfront, then use that to please your angry landlord, while the spare will go to stop the incessant growling coming from your stomach.<\/p>\n<p>I believe every freelancer has somehow tasted this during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/freelancers-insecurities\/\">less secure<\/a> foundation years, and we all know the mental disturbance that the cheap project caused is even more harmful than all above-mentioned issues combined. Your body is simply open to any torture that the client could think of. It\u2019s a fun past that serves as a reminder for you to <strong>always have backup savings for difficult times.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>10: The \u2018Forever Billing\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>You do a project for a giant corporation, but strangely you never saw a dime coming from their pockets. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/invoice-freelance-clients-professionally\/\">Billing the clients<\/a> is easier than actually collecting from the client. And when you stretch that pay-up period long enough, they may come back and tell you, \u2018We have no money to pay you\u2019, or worse, they take off with no reply at all.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/freelance-project-types\/thinking%20of%20getting%20paid.jpg\" alt=\"thinking of getting paid\" width=\"800\" height=\"524\"><\/figure>\n<p>Our courage grows weaker every time we request payments, even though we know that we should be paid. But you <strong>must confront the client as fast as possible<\/strong> since the more time you delay, the less chance you are going to get paid. Don\u2019t email or call him,<strong> face him at the office, or invite him out for a meal or a 1-to-1. <\/strong>Once you get the payment, you can dump the client even if he asks you to do another project for him.<\/p>\n<p>Once is enough.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/accounting-invoicing-services-for-freelance-designers\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: Best Invoicing & Accounting Tools For Freelancers\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Best Invoicing & Accounting Tools For Freelancers<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/accounting-invoicing-services-for-freelance-designers.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-9460 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/accounting-invoicing-services-for-freelance-designers.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">Best Invoicing & Accounting Tools For Freelancers<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCompilation of free invoicing tools and services to handle your billing systems and invoices. Some of them are...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>11. The \u2018Relative = Free\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>Your cousin wants to design a website for a college project, and you\u2019re appointed by your mom to be his free technical slave. You swear your loyalty to your cousin <strike>because mom says so<\/strike> since you had some fun times together, but soon you realize that this is one of the biggest mistakes you have ever made.<\/p>\n<p>You will probably end up doing all the work yourself since your cousin probably doesn\u2019t have any skills to build a website at all. And after so much explanation that is sometimes more hectic than actual work, you find it easier to complete everything for him. Makes you feel like telling everyone you do not know anything, so no one will come looking for you for favors again.<\/p>\n<h2>12. The Friend\u2019s \u2018Not So Friendly\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>Your friend has accepted a project, and now he\u2019s asking for your help, which you logically will not refuse because friends help each other, right? This is an extension of #11, just replace cousin with a friend, the always asleep, always snoring friend. And worse of all, if the project fails to come up to the mark, it\u2019s your fault for not giving it your all. \" You\u2019re supposed to help me, you\u2019re supposed to be my friend.\"<\/p>\n<p>By this point you should already know that, any project that involves <strong>close relationships should be avoided at all costs<\/strong>. It\u2019s still okay to help your friend with important tasks though, just not anything that involves big money (a few of them are still on my Ignore list).<\/p>\n<h2>13. The \u2018Multiplayer\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a rare circumstance that 2 or more freelancers are hired for a project, but if it happens to you, congrats, as you\u2019ll be gaining precious experience working with multiple, expert-level freelancers like you. But remember to ask this question to the others before starting work, <strong>has this boss paid you before?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a strategic question, as it not only <strong>confirms the sanity of your current client<\/strong>, but also opens up a chance to chat with them, thus <strong>setting up a friendly working atmosphere<\/strong> with your freelance comrades. You will also learn how to work on the same design at the same time without technical conflicts, and it\u2019s done even without verbal communication!<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/freelance-project-types\/freelancers-team.jpg\" alt=\"freelancers team\" width=\"800\" height=\"529\"><\/figure>\n<p>You feel like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/freelancing-corporate-jobs-similarities\/\">good ol\u2019 times<\/a> when you\u2019re working with a bunch of people in the office, except this time they are all true professionals, and they don\u2019t like to play office politics.<\/p>\n<h2>14. The \u2018More Than Money\u2019 Project<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes it\u2019s not just about money, but absolutely not about exposure, too. Freelancing can be touching and romantic, and that\u2019s what the \u2018More Than Money\u2019 project is all about. You saw a charity organization running a campaign, but they are financially unable to hire a designer for the banner.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s fine, you do it for them, charging them with the children\u2019s smile for the service fee. Most importantly, when the banner is lifted up onto the sky, you feel proud. You have done something good, refilled your karma, the good kind.<\/p>\n<p>There are also times when your better half\u2019s birthday is around the corner, and you want to pour your very best into crafting a website or mini-game to surprise her, and show her that, she has got a great partner (this is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/dating-geeks\/\">why you should date a geek<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Money is great, but these are something meaningful that makes you happy about life.<\/p>\n<h2>15. The Dream Project<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s this project you will shout out \u201coh my god! oh my god!\u201d when you first check the invitation mail, be it from Google or Facebook. It\u2019s the project you will check countless times to see if it is legitimate or genuine because it\u2019s too good to be true. It feels nice. It tastes sweet. It defines who you are \u2013 a world-class software engineer.<\/p>\n<p>You will soon be hit with the technical terms and techniques that you have never heard of, but that\u2019s fine because everything here is worth fighting for! Three months have passed and the project\u2019s ended, but you feel like it was just about to begin. You made sure you <strong>a few ways form to contact you again<\/strong>, then stared at the screen for a few seconds, then clicked to sign off.<\/p>\n<p>The sunlight has never been so bright, your life has never been so great. You can\u2019t wait to empower yourself with a new skill or knowledge today, in order to experience this vivid dream again one day.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever heard of the toughest species on the Earth?
