Brett,

You need to decide if you're a hobby WISP or a growing, career WISP. If you
have less than 100 customers, then by all means continue doing what you're
doing but I'd say at the 100 mark, you're ready to start with a billing
platform mentioned on the list so you can grow faster.

Start adding more customers so you can afford the solution. Even at a $250
monthly minimum, it should only take 5-7 customers to recoup that amount so
it's not alot. Sonar only has a $125 monthly minimum. It is also not $125
plus customer count, it is only that the monthly amount is no less than
$125 or 100 customers total.
