I agree with Jennifer - you have to be careful when you decide to trade your services. If it's someone you have a good relationship with (like Lori and her web designer friend) then it can be a good way for both parties to get what they need.Kimberly Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163102442191692386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299053910466115973.post-28638708688966975942012-03-06T21:49:54.095-05:002012-03-06T21:49:54.095-05:00I have had great experiences bartering too.

We've exchanged services like that for a few years now, and I think it's a great complement to each others' skills.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045985667596964511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299053910466115973.post-41370414158143336092012-03-06T12:57:14.503-05:002012-03-06T12:57:14.503-05:00Well, she wasn't a friend really - more an acq...Well, she wasn't a friend really - more an acquaintance. Still, I was nervous about taking on the project because I too have a "I don't work for friends" policy. Thankfully things went smoothly and she delivered my compensation as promised.<br /><br />And oh yeah, I'd DEFINITELY consider a trade with my mortgage company too - LOL.Kimberly Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163102442191692386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299053910466115973.post-41409191674832478682012-03-06T12:47:55.863-05:002012-03-06T12:47:55.863-05:00I notice you said one trade was a friend...I don&#...I notice you said one trade was a friend...I don't work for friends at all. I did at first, but it was too stressful. I have to be OK with killing someone's darlings. I have to be OK with saying HEY YOU"RE LATE, PAY ME NOW. And I wasn't, with the friends.<br /><br />Trade...I guess if it was something I needed/wanted. But not many of my clients have such a thing. Maybe if my mortgage company called, lol.allenahttp://www.freelancewrite.about.comnoreply@blogger.com
