Guaranteed-earnings promise

What this clause does

The agency promises you a specific income figure.

Why it hurts you

Nobody can guarantee earnings, and an agency writing this either knows it is unenforceable or intends the guarantee to come with conditions that make it meaningless. It is a sales tactic, and it correlates strongly with the agencies that later disappear.

What a fair version looks like

No earnings guarantees. Instead, concrete deliverables with dates.

Wording you can send back

Agency makes no representation as to earnings. Agency shall deliver the specific services listed in Schedule A.

Paste this into your reply. Asking for a specific change is far more effective than asking them to "soften" a clause.
