Overheard a client say they hired me because I answer emails after 6 PM

I was grabbing coffee yesterday and the person at the next table was talking about their freelance writer. They said they picked them because they always got replies late at night. It made me realize my weird schedule might actually be a selling point. I've been working 1 PM to 9 PM for years, thinking it was a flaw. Now I'm thinking of putting 'available for evening consultations' on my site. Has anyone else turned a personal quirk into a real client benefit?

That's actually a great point. My weird sleep schedule has saved me with clients in different time zones before. Definitely lean into it.

Yeah, I read some article about how night owls actually have a natural edge for global remote work now. Makes total sense.
