// Website for our book: https://www.breakingintoconsulting.com Become a freelance software consultant: transition from salaried dev to independent Working as a freelance software consultant is a lifestyle that can be a path to more freedom, a feeling of control in one's life, and a more effective hourly rate for your time. This has enabled me to start new businesses, dedicate time to my hobbies, travel, and stay out (or up) late at night if I feel like it. If you learn the "skill tree", your path toward this lifestyle will be straightforward. Get the book and benefit from: Skills You Can Use I literally map out the skills that are most important for you to develop to thrive in the business of software consulting. I give you the step-by-step concrete paths to achieving competence, but I also explain some of the abstract theory. For example, not only will you be able to copy my craigslist ad that I've used to find lucrative clients, but you will understand why it worked and how to write your own variation. Step By Step How To Find Clients For most people, getting started can be as simple as finding your first client, coming to terms on an agreement, getting to work, and getting paid (sometimes in advance– using a retainer, strategy described in the book)! In the book, I discuss over a dozen channels that have been effective for me to find new clients; they generated results, meaning cash in my pocket. Not only that, but you also get a full 30-day plan for finding clients. You can repeat it ad infinitum once you complete the initial 30-day stretch – it is a business playbook. Table of Contents 1.
