Ask What are the biggest red flags to watch out for in a freelance business?

[SuperAffiliateX]

I'm new to freelancing and trying to navigate the business side of things. I've heard that there are certain red flags to watch out for, but I'm not sure what they are.

For example, are there signs that show a client might not pay or be difficult to work with? How do I know if a contract is shady or unfair?

Also, what are the risks I should be aware of when dealing with clients or handling payments?

I'd love to hear your experiences and advice on what to watch for.

Thanks in advance!
