Hi, I’m am waiting for a client’s payment. However, I can expect the payment by the end of the next week, so I haven’t gotten the money yet.
I would like to buy something that costs about 100$, it’s not necessary at all but I’d like to buy it.
The ideal scenario would be a client who pays upfront (could happen anytime). I have some electronic parts that I can sell on craigslist or ebay. Other than that I’m clueless.
If you are an average web developer, here is a scam that I discovered recently:
There is one guy who makes the shittiest web sites for local communities, cities, or nonprofits. The kind of web site that no one reads, and contains a few articles or piece of news. This asshole charges each client up to $2000 a month for “maintenance” which is mostly “add an article every 6 months.”
It’s the kind of job that you could do with any blog subscription (like WordPress or Ghost) for $20 a month, and you could charge it $500 or less. 1 client, $500 every month for five minutes of work, forever.
If you can convince people that your method is cheaper and better, you could be a billionaire overnight. Yes, I’m bitter.
Fantasy.
