Freelance Client Relationships | Video of the Month 200907

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Humor and Reality Do Mix

As of today, this YouTube video has had 993,374 views: The Vendor Client Relationship – in Real World Situations, posted by zeorge497. You can also visit: http://vendorclientvideo.com

I’m guessing that you may have already viewed this video. It touches a nerve because it’s close to real situations many people have experienced. Take a look, and then my comments follow below.

The good news is that I’ve had very few freelancer/potential client conversations like what you see in the video. I try and be up front with services and fees, and discuss project needs in a way that may fit the client’s budget.

But, I’m posting this video for July because I feel it’s well done. And, funny!

It also encourages me to finish some client communication pieces I’m developing to help make the project/service fees conversation easier to have with new clients.

Hope you had a good July, and now Happy August!

My Comic-Con post truly is coming very soon!

Engage’s Circle Diagram

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Warning: Some Silliness Ahead
In the corporate world, the e-learning courses I’ve worked on fall mainly under two categories: Human Resources and Compliance/Required. After awhile, I need to stretch my fingers on the keyboard and have some fun! While test driving Articulate’s Engage interaction called the Circle Diagram, a silly, feline muse suddenly came over me.

Sample Engage Circle DiagramThe sample Circle Diagram now lives on my online portfolio site, RidgeViewMedia.com, in the (obvious) “Portfolio” section.

Click here to go to my Portfolio of e-learning samples, and select the image for the Sample Circle Diagram. It will open in a new window.

Make sure you have tongue firmly in cheek, or the cat will get it! (“What, cat got your tongue?”)

You Don’t Know Jack! on LinkedIn.com

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

This gets filed under the “Humor” department…. The screen shot below appeared on my monitor when I chose to make a LinkedIn.com connection to a professional colleague with a very basic first name. The result on screen made me laugh out loud. Other LinkedIn.com users will also see the humor.

You Don't Know Jack

I shared this with my non-LinkedIn.com-savvy husband, and even he thought it was funny. So, I post this screen shot on my blog to share with you, and to have it available to me the next time I need a laugh.

I’m “Always Learning” that humor appears in the strangest of places, and often when I need it most. Enjoy!
