What's your capacity? Are you just looking to do one of these every two weeks, or do you have a team? Assuming the former, it seems to me like an absolute nightmare way to make $130,000 a year - assuming you were fully booked. Given the specification stage of each project (which realistically is probably a week of emails, phone calls, baffling sketches from your potential client, etc.), it doesn't sound like you could really book these back-to-back anyway.
I'm also interested by your payment clause - are you really expecting people to have paid 100% of the cost without your having finished the project? I'm used to a half upfront, half on completion model, but it seems very ballsy to me to ask for all the money when you're only half done!
Best of luck with it, anyway.

- 23andwalnut 12y agoIt's just me and I'm only doing 5 of them. Regarding payment, it's the same way I bill for my freelance work. Each week of work is paid at the beginning of the week.
- pbreit 12y agoAfter you max out the 5 are you still be available for MPV work? Can you give us a rough cost in that case?
- 23andwalnut 12y agoSure. Just shoot me an email and we can discuss.
- bshimmin 12y agoAh, you do state that on the page and I totally missed it. Apologies. Five sounds like a reasonable target, and gives you time to scope things out properly with the client to mitigate any potential disasters. I normally bill, as a contractor or when freelancing, at the end of the time period, ie. when the work is completed. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong!
