What's up fellas? Been awhile, I miss you guys :wink:
So here's the deal: I love working at RIVCO, my coworkers are all crazy beer-fueled bikers and I have a blast working with them. But despite my hopeful predictions and thanks to the economy, my hours just haven't been improving. I've worked one half-day per week the past 2 weeks, and this week I'll be submitting yet another goose egg to Wisconsin Unemployment. And they're not really crazy about me, since I'm approaching the 1-year mark on my unemployment benefits.
I did have enough dough on me to take advantage of the $100/seat deal that the Alibre crew offered on v11.2 (thanks loads for that guys), and with my current financial situation circling the drain I'm seriously considering the freelance route. What I need to know is...what the hell do I do?
Here's what I got:
-A truck, light pickup actually, '98 Chevy S10 to be precise. So assuming they're fairly local I can go directly to the customer and get hands-on with whatever they want me to draw. And with the little plug-in power inverter I've got I can almost indefinitely run my...
-Laptop, an HP Pavilion dv9000 Entertainment, which has the seat of v11.2 Standard installed on it. Got my AC adapter and a Targus laptop bag with enough stuff to almost live out of. Mouse, HD camera, Garmin GPS, data cable, and a 1GB thumb drive. Have computer, will travel.
So I guess the biggest things I need to know is how and where to advertise, what to advertise, and last but not least, what to charge for my services.
