How willing are you to work with a new or repeat customer to accommodate their budget? For instance, if your service price is usually $10 for an article, would you write one for $5.00? And, under what conditions would you change your price or create a new lower priced service just to accommodate that one customer?
As Avery said I would rather offer them a smaller package suitable for their budget. :)

There are so many people who just aren't willing to spend the money. I've had people approach me to do articles for them for $1.50, and they weren't 100 word ones either. It's sad because people's time is valuable, and I'm sure if the shoe was worn on the other foot, they would probably see it as an insult...lol

If it were a good customer I might be willing to do that. However I have had one that offered to pay me more because he liked my writing so much.

I've had that situation happen too where someone asked me to write an article for $1.00 and I had to say no as that's just too little money to work for. And, though I don't write for cheap I can see it from the point of view of a struggling webmaster or blogger. These people are on a tight budget and they need high quality content. It never really hurts to ask someone if they will do a job. But really $1.00 is a super low amount to be offering to anyone. Hopefully they would understand that a writer has to make a living too and offer more money.

Seriously, if somebody is asking you to write articles for a dollar then they are insulting you.
It is one thing trying to negotiate a discount but to offer $1 is the same as asking you to do it for free.

I wouldn't even turn my computer on for a dollar. It would use that much in electricity just to run it. lol
There is one buyer recently who keeps persistently messaging me to negotiate a better deal on one of my listings by asking if I'll do twice the work for the same price, or the same work for half the price, but I always refuse, and yet they still place the order (twice so far), because they know it's quality work.
You don't get great quality for a buck and experienced buyers know that and are willing to pay the price to get what they want. THOSE buyers are the customers I want...not cheapskates trying to squeeze my time for a buck or two.

Maybe there are some people who will spin out 1000 words for $1.00, but I'm not one of them.

I can not believe that there are some that would do this. We are here to make money, but we all work really hard so it is often hard to work for less money.
