Sometime even faster. One of crazy client asked me rank 1 in 2 weeks I clear said "Find someone" These are the clients later ask for refund once they got de-rank as Black or Grey hat not sustain for so long!

My favourite demand came from an old web design client I had. I was showing her the website I made and she said, "We need to make it POP! Can you do that? Like, the colours and the logo need to POP!"

I tried asking for an explanation, and she just said, "You know, make it... POP! Like, Pop!"

POP POP POP POP whats the heck! what did she mean with POP? popcorn? what can pop for her may not pop for others. This is crazy!

I don't know if I ever even figured out what she meant. She hired a "more qualified" lady with an associate's degree in cosmetology to work on the website at the same time I was (you know, to make the website 'pop', which a cosmetology degree helps her with... somehow?

). The lady broke everything because she didn't understand CSS or web design, so then she just used a site builder like Wix to set everything up and moved the domain there.

I actually complained about this particular client a few times here before, that's how much she annoyed me.

Im really wondering @Zwielicht
If you had a content writing service, what would be your price range, for example for 1k words?

tubeboost · Nov 4, 2020

That's ok, people just don't understand/know about everything and ask for something weird. Just lack of knowledge.

Lucky_P · Nov 4, 2020

All the time, i want 100s of 5 start google reviews. thats not how it works!

loukeyzee · Nov 4, 2020

Some clients have no idea what is entailed though, and as soon as you explain their needs in reality it kind of seems like they don't like your ideas.

#1 position in less than a month with $200 budget

No thanks

Another bizarre one I got today
"It's basically the same info just present in a more aesthetically pleasing way."

Aesthetically pleasing, guys, it gotta be aesthetically pleasing.

thescrrr · Nov 20, 2020

My gf wanted me to help out one of her clients, so I offered my help for like $100 which included an SEO optimized homepage article. They were thinking for a month and asked if I could do it for $50. I turned down their offer.

most of these are not crazy demands, though. What is so crazy about someone wanting traffic, or a website that generates leads, or state of the art website, or site that is better than the current one? I honestly don't see anything wrong with these statements. And the others are debatable, too...

Elvlin · Nov 20, 2020

well crazy demand will always be there.
not to mention on service without any standard, and price that have a big range.
you can find someone sell website design from $30 to thousand of $$. for the same design.

IG Professor · Nov 20, 2020

yeah.. some expect to get a value of $1000 for $100
