I just was discussing this topic yesterday. My tip is this: don't over deliver on your work. Your project should impress, but not exceed the orginal scope too much otherwise you wasting your time and the client's time if they don't need that information. Thanks, Tim Oh this is funny.

My tip: The customer is not always right. Especially if the customer wants a specific design for a website but has a poor sense of design. As a freelancer, you need to make them understand that there are better alternatives on design. Don't follow what they want or else you might destroy your name as a freelancer. :D Sounds great!

Well, that one's obvious. Having been stiffed by a nasty client, it pays to research people before agreeing to work for them. Google everyone! Also google their name + 'owes me money' or 'doesn't pay.' Also use Craigslist at your own risk. While I have found Craigslist clients that were a dream, I also found some nightmare ones as well. Trust your instincts. If you get a flaky vibe or a bad vibe off the bat, RUN! Hustle! Well, that one’s obvious.
