This is one type of day that can be expected if you are fairly skilled at several things and charge median rates at those services. My goal is not to gouge as much money out of as many people as possible, and so consequently, I give discounts to widows, single mothers, and military and I try to save the client money where I can.
I have 4 hourly rates:
Handyman $40 or 25.75 pounds
Computer $60 or 38.64 pounds
Discounted Handyman $30 or 19.31 pounds
Discounted Computer $50 or 32.19 pounds
Friday was not a typical day, but rather a typical busy day. Someways, I run around appearing to pretend to work. So Friday went like this:
Sue:
install 2 co detectors, and smoke detector, and 2 sets of blinds.
1 hour handyman $40
Anita:
install Msn explorer and misc config stuff on another computer
1.5 hours disc computer $75
Meg:
Move and setup 2 computers and misc config and usb wifi adapter
3.3 hours computer + adapter $210 got xmas bonus - $100 shoes
Jamal:
Troubleshoot studio microphone issue and laptop tune up
2 hours computer $120
Aliane:
Virus removal and Quickbooks file transition
2 hours computer $120
Now, not all of these hours were worked Friday but they were collected Friday.
So that's $565 or 363.8 pounds collected in one day and some days, I make nothing. Busy days are long days where everything takes longer and I am late to every other appointment and drive like 100 miles.
I have 5 clients that owe me another $400 and 3 of them will pay me with Paypal so I don't have to go get it from them.
I think really the point of this post is that I made bank, but I had to earn it.
