I was able to think of a few things such as blogs, mailing lists and and promoting the release date. But is there actually an 'art' to it, and are there other things you can do?</p> Great ariticle!!!

Ofcoures no-one wanted to give up money. When he keep offering work to you, that means you are doing good for him and his business. Why not laid 10 point criteria/conditions in front of your website and pointing it out to your client. I sometime did mistake by giving too much time to my clients, putting too much effort on every work. What I suggest, being a professional, we have to deal with it accordingly. Conditions > Project Accepted > Advance Payment > Work Start > Work Uploaded > Paymnet cleared > End. No more interaction after that, it seems bit rude, but it works, at least for me :)</p> Jason, This is something where we need to tackle without building a bridge.
