New jobs from clients never ending
17 May 2006
I got some major media coverage in Sweden recently and together with my partner Peter Larsson we made a decision that from now on we only take big jobs for big clients and I increased my rates 3X. Rather do a tip top SEO job to a big client that can really pay than smaller jobs for small sites. And then I thought, ok now noone from Sweden will order with these new rates and I have time to complete all the open jobs from before. But I still get orders and interest!
