how to demonstrate expertise

There’s a right way and a rong way to demonstrate expertise.

The wrong way as you can see below is pretentious and lacks social awareness.

In fact I can guarantee you will look like a dickhead.

And you are unlikely to impress potential clients.


The right way:

“Hey I noticed there are several orphans in this typeset. It’s an easy fix. Just do x, y, z. Better yet if you send me the source files I can do it for you. Will take a couple minutes. Happy to help.”

This applies to copywriters, designers, developers, video editors, or really any service provider.

Do you want to be a pedant or do you want to be rich?
