I'm self-employed, so I have to earn a living, right?

Well, you'd think that one day people would stop knocking me down on price... Something that really bugs me is that people what everything for nothing.

I went to see an old client of mine yesterday, and he wants to start a new business; Due to the success of his previous website, he wants me to start a new one for him - There one major difference - His old website had been started in 1996, so it was already in search engines, and it has lots of good incoming links, etc, etc....

If you start a website now, it's much more difficult to get #1 rankings quickly (unless you use PPC). You've got to wait at least 6-12 months before you strart seeing organic results. I've lost alot of business, because I am realistic, I won't tell you that it's possbile to do £1M of sales in the first 6 months, unless I think that it is possible.

Till next time...
