[/quote] It's viable but it's not like it was in the infancy of the www, that is, easy and no competition. Now it's extremely complicated with the plethora of web technologies to choose from (clients will request everything whether you know how to provide it or not) and on top of that, there's extreme competition. So it's pretty much opposite from the birthing stage ;) Like I said though, it's viable, like any other business, there is a need for it, it's up to businesses to find out how to market themselves then produce in a cost effective/profitable manner. [quote] Do you have your doubts about the future and what will come of it? [/quote] I don't worry too much about tomorrow, but occassionally I give it some thought, and it could go either way. That's when I remember why I don't give it much thought. [quote] Are you in genral happy about the time and effort you spend on this? [/quote] Not at all, I'd rather spend much more time with my family on vacation but you know, there's work to be done, and the family's gotta eat =) Sounds like you have The Fear and Confusion. I think in a nutshell you might want to know that if you want to make a go of this as a business you're going to have to have a plan, get a marketing strategy in place (who will pay the bills and how do you sell them), find a source of accounting, find a source for healthcare, find suitable office space, then secure the capital and execute! There's probably no way you can do all that alone so you're going to have to consider hiring ASAP if not immediately (your 3rd paragraph alluded to your new understanding of this reality). Take a look at your skill set and see how many holes you have regarding those points and that will give you an idea of who and how many helpers you need. Once you figure out your expenses you set your goals to cover them and hopefully you're able to meet those and pay the bills. If you do all that you've gotta have some sticktoitiveness as the first several years (depending on the validity of your marketing and sales plans/efforts) you'll be absolutely sure that you should quit and go back to freelancing on the side cuz there's more money in it! But then there's still that time problem again. [url=http://disk919.com/] [img]http://disk919.com/sig/jason.gif[/img] [/url] Loading...
