Title: Freelancers Unite: Lowball Clients & High-Paying Gigs

Hey fellow freelancers. I'm tired of getting lowballed by clients who think they can find someone cheaper, only to end up with subpar work. Has anyone else had to deal with this issue and found ways to weed out the cheapos while landing the high-paying gigs?

"Preach to that! Been in the freelance game for years and it's all about setting boundaries and recognizing your worth. Don't let clients lowball you, invest time in finding those high-paying gigs and don't be afraid to walk away."

Yea, I feel you, been there done that. I use a tiered pricing system to avoid those lowball clients, it's worked out well for me so far. Anyone have a good resource for finding high-paying gig opportunities?

Yo, just wanted to share my two cents on this - I made the mistake of underpricing myself earlier this year and it came back to bite me. Now I'm working on setting a minimum rate that reflects my skills and experience, no freebies for me! Anyone else have a similar wake-up call?

"Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I've lost count of how many times I've had clients try to lowball me for my skills. Any of y'all have a go-to script for politely telling them to pound sand when they try to stiff you?"

"Lowball clients are everywhere, but I think we can all agree that it's worth screening the clients beforehand for their credibility and budget. Been using Upwork's messaging feature to filter out scammers and bad clients. Anyone else got some tips for dealing with them?"
