Max it's great to see how you pointed out all the problems you faced, can you also make a video where you show the solutions for each? Like how not to get exploited or even about how to make the contract and the standards of it.
Hey max. You've made me save valuable time for my wedding preps in Seychelles. I'm a lawyer and know this type of clients inside out. That's not only in Dubai. India has been very similar in my experience (except for the middle man). Let me know if you need help make your contracts watertight and diplomatic. The key is to be clear on the scope and the exclusions. I'd be happy to help free of charge as you have been so helpful with your vids.
Discount in promise of future work. I tried the game on the guy in reverse: “How about you give me full price now and if we re both happy, ill give you discount on future projects.” -- he was soooo offended, saw it as a huge diss (local)
Spot on.. but one thing I learned from working there (alot) is never apologize for taking yourself seriously. If you show weakness they will exploit it, its as simple as that, don't be rude or arrogant but just don't accept terms you are not happy with. Almost all of the time (in my case) they came around. If you give a discount for a first job, refuse to work for that lower amount again. If clients liked you they will pay to keep using you, usually its the middle management who try and squeeze you but in the end the people in charge want good quality and if you've delivered once you are golden because they know what they are getting. You have to pay the rent but you are the one putting yourself in these situations and if you don't change it you will never get paid well or make it out of that level of filming.
Wow 😅 someone had a proper photosession🤩 this video is fantastic 👏👌 I feel your pain though, you need steel nerves to deal with those individuals 🤪 take care, bro!
This is all true 😂😂😂 is not only in Dubai unfortunately but trust me there are people like these also in Italy 😂😂 but great video as always bro!! You deserve more than this…100% 🙌🏼❤️
Nice one Max 👍 one more come to my mind 😜 the client who comes and beg you to pay pennies coz he is startup (miskeen habibi you know!) and when his business do well he will go and pay the big money to big agencies or more famous influencers coz they will give him better ROI and access to bigger network etc... Ohhhhh! I just remember the collaboration clients broooo 🙈 that is a big scam you missed it too 😂
haha damn the collaboration people are all those damn "influencers" that lack talent and want you to work for a shout out 😂 habibi my landlord don't accept no shout outs. I'm making a video about the "influencers" soon there's no escape 😂
I also experience that here in Ph also on my U.S Client. also my 2 uncle there in Dubai also experience it. and yeah I can't sell my skills, now I'm working as a freelance with a Middle Man.
This probably happens every where to an extent, but more often in dubai due to their culture. I would suggest to stop calling yourself a freelancer and call yourself a business owner. And if you meant them in person you have to dress up very expensive or they will try to use and abuse you, that's also part of their culture.
Come on man be honest with yourself you're not that skilled , i mean you're your first client right ? So why the editing of your own video is not that good? That's why you don't get good clients
The struggle is real 😫
too much real 🤦🏻♂️🥴

That was all true! I feel all you said 👊🏻👊🏻💪🏻💪🏻 amazing Maxxx
the truth shall set us free and keep us broke haha
Aren't there any laws to protect freelancers work? What you could do is watermark your work and only have it removed when they pay.
Facts! The bigger the client, the worse payer they are. It's shocking.
This is so painful! And the worst thing there are not a lot of options how to deal with those people 😓
deport them!! that's the solution 😂😂

@@MaxTheSensei Let's collab then bro 😜😂

You shouldn't accept any work if they don't pay in advance.
"The bigger the client, the longer you have to wait for your pay." Preach.
Very informative video brother 🤗
I also experience that here in Ph also on my U.S Client. also my 2 uncle there in Dubai also experience it. and yeah I can't sell my skills, now I'm working as a freelance with a Middle Man.
I want to aske i am new in Dubai where can i find place and i meet other freelancers like cafe or any place for work
