Good morning most awesome BLUers. Question for you contractors. How do you bill your clients? About a month ago I resigned from my job, paid my bills a few months in advance, and have decided I want to and be an independent contractor. I have never done anything like this before. So far I have been very fortunate in picking up more business than I can handle just by talking with people and using craigslist. I've been charging by the hour though I notice clients seem to prefer charging by the project or milestone. What's the best way to go about billing folks? Increments of a certain dollar amount? How do you do it? A second concern is if my luck does not continue and I have to go several months without any clients. How do you stay busy? Do you partner with other contractors and share when you have to much work? Thanks, -- Eric Chadbourne
