only doing contract work.
Since the contract market kinda dried up a little, and after I beat
myself senseless spending oodles and oodles of time developing proposals
only to be turned down, we revamped our business model so that we had a
"somewhat steady" income coming along. We breath easier knowing there's
regular billing going out every month whilst still providing almost the
same service we were before.
Of course you get headaches like this to work through, but heck, the
price of a little security :D
Cheers,
Erika

Subject: Re: For all you freelancers and business owners
Our situations are probably different, but this is exactly why I refused
to
act as the hosting reseller. For me, the freelance business was entirely
throwaway, so I made sure that there were no ongoing ties with my
clients.
When a site was up, my involvement was done. I wasn't trying to make a
living at it, so I didn't need to find the recurring income. I was also
very
up front about that with my clients, and my prices were significantly
lower,
because I wasn't making an ongoing business commitment.
If I had been trying to really make a go of it, as I gather you are, my
approach would have been different.
