I just got my first customer doing consulting for a proprietary software product. $90/hour, not bad!
Looking forward to reading this when I get home, (work firewall) :(
- lifeisstillgood 13y agoCongratulations ! Please remember to put some of that nice money aside for the month without income that will inevitably occur sfter contract ends (and tax!) How will you raise your profile amoungst the users of that proprietary package (perhaps a technical blog focused on things you innovate or fix at work, useful mini script's, spending time being helpful on forums or LinkedIn groups) Trust me, if you have just landed that first gig, now is the time to start laying the groundwork for the next one - take each lunch hour to a llocal park or cafe and write thise scriots or blog posts. One hour of your time a day will add up in 6 months (I guess thats the cconract length) Ps new android phone horribke to type on

Some good suggestions on how to raise my profile, this vertical market software is on the rise, and hopefully have several more improvements to come (and an API which I am trying to get in on the ground floor of)
