If You Want To Go Broke As A Web-Developer Let Me Tell You How….

 by: Serena Murphy

If you want to go broke as a web-developer let me tell you how….

Early on in my web development career I tried to re-invent the wheel… I set up everything from scratch including my customers! I wasted about 5 months and about $20,000.00 on collecting content from them. I heard all the excuses……I will have the content to you by Monday. When Monday would roll around I would hear…my kids had soccer games all weekend and I just couldn’t get to it….I promise I will have my logo’s and word docs to you on Friday.. When Friday came around and I would call, .Oh…It has been such a busy week…I am so over worked right now I promise I will get it to you next week sometime!

I tried to stay faithful to get that original content and graphics from them. Till I was almost short on making my payroll! Then it all came to a complete stop! I decided to hire and farm out the content. Also I implemented a content management system! Genius….and the bank roll came back.

If you are in the web development game let me help you out here….Save your self some time and money…Farm out the content to a content writer for a couple of hundred bucks…It will save you about $2000 in time and expenses. Forget about the emails and the follow up calls and gas over to your clients and the disappointment I guarantee you will always get when it comes to content. Customers don’t have time! When they originally are trying to save costs on web-development and “think” they can cut corners. The only thing that they cut is your profit margin in half! ©
