choose Ur fren lo, sometimes frens cld brin U future customers so its like feedin them, U need frens, U need clients, U need relationships

depends on what kind of friend loh....
true friend will understand that business is business... they might squeeze abit but you need to know your limit how much to be sqeezed out loh....

if they squeeze to much, i just told them off lar... no point wat.. why wasting time and biz is not charity mah...

if you have partners then its more simpler to handle this type of friends... just ask the partner to back u up and become the bad guy loh..... its work every single times...

i do conned by my a*****le friend.
not even got a single cent from a project.

anyway, in freelancing world.. you need to be smart as business man. Freelancing mean business too.. You can't got perfect client all the time.

Do give time... later you'll got a very good client for long time run. Just always be careful and never trust 100% and don't take guaranteed .

That's normal freelance's world..
Just TERMINATE him/her from your FRIEND LIST..
That kind of person unworthy at all..

Hmm, the designs take too much of my time. Nowadays, I stick to programming and working on my own sites

Whenever anyone approaches me, I'll just refer him/her to other good designers that I know

i agree with mysticmind .. freelance is business.. u need to be smart, need to be strong.. u need to be firm.. dont let ur customer look at u like u r a begger or sumething... always present urself in a professional way...

one tips that i learn from being a freelancer is that... if ur client ask u to do this n that but never ask what it will cost, ask them back.." dont u want to know the price..?"... than only they will know that u r really doing business here... hehehe...
