Once a freelancer breaks free from the time-for-money basis for pricing, the opportunities increase.

I don’t think the key is dropping fees from $100 per hour to $50 per hour; it’s solving the puzzle of packaging what clients want in a less expensive bundle that also takes less work to deliver.

@ Hidden – Please don’t tell me your mom named you Hidden Spy. Because with a last name like Camera, that would really suck. I mean, you’d get teased at school and stuff! Scarred for life! (Probably why there’s no pic displaying with your comment.)

I knew another guy whose mom named him Really Cool Wallpapers. Sad. Moms like that suck. I’m glad mine named me James. Could’ve been Hot Smokin’ Copywriter. You know?

On to the comment! (Which had more thought than the name used in the comment form…) You’re absolutely right that tough times means creativity rules. There are a few great inventions that came about during war times, the Great Depression and more. Opportunity is still there, for those who take it!

Bad econimc times have always been fertile ground for new ideas, now opportunities, growth and more profits-IF you have the guts to take a chance. But then if you own your own business you already have that.

Alright James,

This was some good motivational reading.
You know, I recently came across this saying’ that – the ability can get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there. – Therefore if we engage in our capabilities now we will in turn help ourselves adjust to the new character, a stronger, more ready character.

peace.

I completely agree. I started focusing more attention on affiliate marketing. More and more people are looking for ways to earn extra cash and work from home. I'm taking advantage of this open door, and hopefully, make some extra cash in return. Valencias last blog post..Is It Too Much to Ask for a Little Notice?
