Great question. I have realized that as a freelancer, not many clients are interested in hiring part time even though they could save on cost. One primary reason in my opinion is fear of uncertainty. Clients are always scared to hear that you want to give only part of your time to them. They want to feel safe knowing that they own your time 100%. Not to mention other legal implications specially in the financial industry where I work. It is my dream to get a part time gig at a bank where I only work 3 days a week. Tried that a few times but won't work easily. I am sure it has been done but very rare. Another point is that if you get hired for a particular project, it has its own timelines,deliverables and milestones (as a PM would call it:). Clients will include your time in the project estimates and they usually use man hours/months but considering 5 day work weeks.
