Got let go from a side gig that I'd had for 3 months, despite more than doubling their sales over that period (from ~$700 when I took over to $1850 in June), because I needed to simplify the accounting and make a minor (less than $3 on a $100+ sale) tweak to commission structure.
Lost about $500/month.
But they were by far the biggest PITA clients I had. Sometimes the trash takes itself out.

I was providing them with, essentially, free income -- I did all of the work, from initial contact to chasing down delinquents. They provided a website and forwarded inquiries. I also handed them a turnkey money maker -- they had no idea how to implement it. But hey, now they get to learn! On the fly! While trying to do all their other work! LOL it was easy for me because I do it for multiple sites and have a system. Not sure they'll find it quite as easy.

@etherdiver@ravenation.club the lowest paying clients do seem to be the biggest PITAs way too often... glad you're over that and able to find less annoying work.
