Default How to prevent "Simple Theft" - 06-11-2006, 05:50 AM

Anyone who has read The Gary Halbert Letter will come across this particular definition of a "Simple Thief"

Quote:
You do the work, give it to the client and he simply doesn't pay you. Or maybe he will pay you your up-front fee but not the percentage from the sales you are supposed to get (which can amount to an awful lot of money). Almost every copywriter I know has been screwed in this fashion. But the truth is, "Simple Theft" is the least significant way you get screwed.
Just like to know how do u guys (who collect a percentage of the sales for the copy u have written for your client) actually safeguard and ensure that your client pays u the percentage of the sale... Do u request to see their monthly financial statements to verify that the client is not 'underpaying' u ?
