I've had a few nibbles before and have always hesitated when it came to bigger freelance work due to the politics and administration needed to successfully manage things.
Has anyone run into blogs, books, forums, or anything else that could be used to help a CF dev freelance successfully? The work is often the easiest part. It's figuring out if/when to use a retainer, how to figure the amount, how to approach cost estimates so as to not talk yourself out of a job, etc. that's the hardest part. There are a lot of smaller businesses nearby that are on the verge of either hiring another body or two or investing in technology and _I_ see the benefit of the latter, but am trying to set up a solid formula for showing clients as well. There's lots of scattered info and a lot of bad advice out there.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333724 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
