He went from fired to $30k in six months. I had a plan, quit my job with a runway, and still didn't make that much in my first six months as a freelance developer. Finding leads, selling, delivering, and billing take time. I'm averaging a lot more than that now; hopefully he will too.
- vacri 13y agoA good point - billing takes time. Usually it's a minimum of one week, often two, and usually it's a month (depending on industry). So even if he had been working for six months solid, he would only have effectively had five months 'worth' of billing land. As an aside, my mum used to run a bookstore, and I think it was Penguin books who used to prevent overdue accounts this way: If you're not paid up by the 25th of the month, your orders are halted. Only really works if you've got a decent amount of traction, but you can guarantee that the one distributor that got paid on time every month was Penguin.
