plumbus11937yDelegate to me. I need work bad and though i use mostly python nowadays i was a drupal advocate years ago. But yea, the minor tasks, are very annoying. Some clients dont seem to appreciate being enabled to do things
-
terrican6877yUnfortunately I can't outsource it. They get product support for what they pay monthly, but adding content is not part of the product support. So I couldn't pay someone to do it for me because I'm not getting paid to do it myself.
If I were getting paid to add blog posts, I would be a happy camper. :) -
Renegoiate? Add a rate into future contracts?
And create a all happy customer service package, (webmaster, socialmedia, community management) with full 24h service. Find some people across timezones. (Latin america, south africa, Nepal). -
terrican6877yGood point. The need is clearly there, now the question is are they willing to pay for it?
-
plumbus11937y@terrican in that case, remind them. "You pay for development, not content management. Thats best handled by someone who understands your needs while letting me complete my tasks. I can refer you to plumbus or you can set a budget for this service and ill handle it for an extra fee." Im not actually sure this will work though. Its more like, they dont want to pay and want to guilt you into it. Not you specifically just thinking about when ive been in this situation

plumbus11937y@heyheni have you been able to do this? Its something ive been interested in but seems to come down to having capital for the freelancers or employees, as well as a reliable influx of clients or long term contracts.
Why do I develop Drupal websites for clients when I know they are going to contact me for any content update? I show them how to add, edit, delete, and I still get content update requests. I'm developing things right now, I don't have time to add your blog post, thanks!
