Setting yourself up to be unproductive?
by
This will not be the first article you’ve read about someone finding social media way to intrusive for daily life. All of us are on social media and most of us find it totally overwhelming at some point. When it hits that breaking point we try and take steps to turn it off. For a…
Confidence to Change Pricing Models
by
I’ve had more than one person ask how I changed to a weekly pricing model. The eaisiest version is that I just didn’t give clients an option of anything else but I suppose there is a bit more. I was nervous I first wrote about weekly pricing quite a while ago. Read the article at…
PayPal now accepted and I was a hypocrite
by
If you’ve already bought my book or heard me speak at WordCamp Vancouver then you know I’m against credit cards. They are not a great idea at all, at least not how they are typically used. Heck I even blogged about it already. But I was a hypocrite If you did purchase my book already…
When is an invoice #paidpaid
by
Billing is one of the harder parts of freelancing. You’re done the work and waiting to get paid. Outside of simply not being paid (which has happened a few times and sucks huge) one of the biggest issues clients bring up is how you count when something is paid. Just last weekend (as I’m winding…

by
https://twitter.com/edavis10/status/365499060095959040 Do you have a minimum value for any new projects? I know I do and my current minimum for new projects is $2000. It’s fine to say that but why exactly do I have a project minimum, and why should you set one? Setup Cost First, there is a minimum cost to setting up…
Relationship is so important for you
by
It’s funny how similar thoughts and conversations come up in your day. Over on Post Status last week there is an article about ManageWP starting a WordPress News site. I said in the comments on the post (and on Google+) that I just don’t know about the site. It’s a ‘big’ company and I don’t…
