I got messages telling me to kill myself and quit music for my involvement in Sinder's CPR cover. I won't post the screenshot; I want my platform to be one of positivity & kindness, not one that gives hatred a stage. Still, I think there are some things worth saying:

If you're a freelance composer, artist, etc. you've probably heard:
"Your prices are too high."
"I could get this done cheaper elsewhere."
"Why is it so expensive?!"

When a prospective client shoots down your price for being expensive, all you need to say is something like this:

IF the prospective client specifically says something like "I could get this done for cheaper with X person/site/etc", my favorite way to reply is:
"I don't want to waste your time or mine. If you truly think that would solve your problem, I encourage you to do that instead."
