Working on retainer
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Let me set the scene here. About five years ago I was in London, living in Wembley and working from home (in my undies as usual) and I picked up new client on Elance. It was a very small project for less than a couple hundred bucks. The client was in the US and looking for some quick banners to meet a late deadline. I low balled my bid knowing I could turn it around fast and I needed the cash for some bills. One thing lead to another and I got the gig.
I completed this little project which turned out to be the catalyst for a great working relationship and over the next five years, this client would spend over a $100k with me, all from a small two hundred dollar project.
