Monthly fee is nonsense. Charge a project cut.
- Vivtek 15y agoI agree with this. A monthly fee only makes sense if I have an ongoing and steady need, but the presumption is that this is project work. Your charge needs to be project-based.
- MatthewB 15y agoAgreed. A monthly fee doesn't really make sense. If it takes any more than a month to find a dev, there's something wrong with your system. That means the most you'll ever make is 1 month worth of fees. Charge a flat fee...but wait until I find my tech cofounder:)
- jrwoodruff 15y agoDefinitely this. If I have a one-time project I need a programmer for, I'm not going to commit to a monthly fee.
- syllogism 15y agoThe problem with that is that you want to let them communicate freely to strike a deal, emailing each other details etc. Then they can just negotiate off-site and you're cut out.
