If you need the money, don't take the job


Money: how to get people to give it to you, how much to ask for, and how to be worth what you're asking. Some real talk about the challenges you’ll face as a newly independent worker.

My fellow content creator Zack Proser and I are sitting on a log, chowing down on s’mores and enjoying a few spine-chilling tales of terror about my horrible career. No luck so far getting people to pay me to tinker with their vintage Land Rovers, or to sit in a comfy chair eating chocolates and watching classic Doctor Who, but hope springs eternal. On the other hand, if after the first day or two they think “This guy’s no good,” they can just pay me off and wave goodbye: they’re not locked in for the long term to a vendor choice they’re already regretting.
