IT Consultants: Don’t Sell Yourself Short
If you’re thinking you can go out there and be the Crazy Eddie of IT consultants in your marketing, or go out there for $25, $35, $45 an hour and ultimately, you’re going to make it up on volume - you’re wrong. There are only so many extra hours you can work in a week, even on a full time basis.
To survive as IT consultants and eventually make the transition to full-time, you need to study the competition when it comes to setting your rates. As you look to move into full time consulting, make sure you have multiple sources of steady consulting revenue.
The Bottom Line about IT Consultants
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket and don’t quit your day job if 90% of your IT consulting revenue is just coming from one or two clients. There’s too much uncertainty. As IT consultants, you want to make sure that you’re diversifying your client roster.
