Seconding consulting. I'm in marketing but I went from 100k - $400k a year with the same hours.
- shanghaiaway 8y agoDo you bill 400k or is that what you pay yourself?
- cm2012 8y agoMy businesses expenses are only around $10k a year, so what I bill and pay myself is basically the same.
- shanghaiaway 8y agoAbsolutely is not the same
- cm2012 8y agojust curious - how so? It's an llc and the business bank account is the same as my personal.
- byebyetech 8y agoPlease tell your story. How did you 4x your income? Didn't know people in marketing make this much.
- cm2012 8y agoMost marketing people don't. Basically, I have a lot of experience growing and managing high spend ad accounts at this point. Once you have that experience and skill, you're in much higher demand. I have a lot of references saying I'm good, so I can negotiate hourly + % of ad spend. Pareto's law is in full effect in online marketing, so 10 hours a week with a client can get them very similar results to if I worked for them full time. For example, one of my clients I grew from $0 Facebook spend to 6 figures Facebook spend. They're happy because it's profitable (printing money for them), I'm happy since I get 15% of ad spend. It doesn't take that many clients like that before you're making $30k+ a month.
