Thoughts on Product Pricing
by
I’ve got 1 product out and have a few others on the mind (need to choose one I know) so this article about pricing products and services is great. The bottom tier of any pricing grid experiences the highest churn. Intuitively this makes sense; small early stage businesses are more likely to fail than larger…
I was a guest on the Freelancer’s Show 063
by
In this week’s show I was simply guesting, but I’ve now been asked to come on as a regular host. It’s typically been a Ruby focused show (in that the hosts work in the Ruby field) but is one of the best podcasts on freelancing. In fact it’s the only one I’ve been listening to…
Cheat on Work

When it comes down to having to choose to cheat on something, I’m going to choose to cheat on work.
It just isn’t a Priority
by
But do you have an hour to outline a table of contents? Could you write 500 words today? How about emailing five bloggers that might be interested in reviewing your book this week?
Programming and Extending Grace
by
We’ve all heard about the 10,000 hours it takes to get good at something. Maybe it’s 10k blog posts or 10k lines of code for you. The point is that you aren’t great till you’ve been doing it a long time and produced a bunch of terrible work. A great article takes this idea of…
Weekly Pricing for Web Development
by
As I start the transition to weekly pricing I thought it would be a great time to explain why I think weekly pricing is a good idea for both clients and businesses. Less Lock In I know that I’ve been involved in projects that are going south, at some point it’s just going to happen…
Google+ Redesign Whiners
by
I’ve been prompted by some discussions on Google+ about the recent design change to write this post. First off, I don’t mind the change at all. Really it’s pretty similar to the iPad version, which is the spot I have most interacted with Google+. It’s not a big change for me. More importantly, people hate…
Schwalbe – Ultremo DD Review
by
I’ve already taken a look at the Giant PSL-2 and today we’re going to take a look at the Schwalbe Ultremo DD. This review comes after 4000km on the DD’s, which is enough that I wore the a flat strip on to the back tire. Performance Most ‘flat protect’ tires have a pretty harsh feel.…
Freelance Billing – Flat, Hourly, Weekly?
by
I’ve commented before that I want to go with weekly pricing, but I just didn’t have all the answers. Like what if a client has an emergency and I need to deal with a crashed server? What if it’s a 5 hour project? Well in episode 15 of Unfinished Business they actually answer my questions.…
Dropping the Canadian Credit Card
by
As we’ve been doing the Total Money Makeover one of the things we have been unable to find a suitable replacement for is a credit card. Statistically you spend 12 – 18% more when you use a credit card. Those numbers hold whether you’re in the US or Canada, and I’d bet that they are…
