Your Honest Opinion is highly needed!

[Guest introvideos12]

So there’s this order I’ve been working on that has literally killed my working on something else. The gig has two revisions. After sending the video, the buyer says she wants to make changes to some slides but has sent me close to 30 new attachments of files she wants incorporated into the video.

Does this count as a revision or is this just literally more work? I really need the clarification because doing the overhaul is looking scary.

That sounds like a completely new order to me to be honest. 😒

My point exactly. My problem - expressing that to the buyer without sounding phony!

Which is why I strongly recommend specifying in your gig description what a revision entails, like minor changes and such, so that:

1. the buyer will know beforehand what you include in a revision, and

2. you will then have a “weapon” to fight buyers who demand too much in a revision

If you had written in your description that you offer minor changes per revision, for example, you could have now told the buyer that your gig description explicitly mentioned what a revision includes and that what they asked for is outside the scope of a revision as per your gig description, without sounding phony at all since it’d be all black on white.

Always specify in a gig description what a revision means and what it includes, to avoid these exact issues 😉

Thanks for this. Will edit my gig descriptions to also spell that out for buyers.

I still need to get out of this though… Sighs.

You could throw your buyer the “revision” definition and tell them that the official dictionary definition doesn’t include making a whole new work, nor extending the current work:

revision: to alter something already written or printed, in order to make corrections, improve, or update
