This guy’s giving it away.
I like the idea. He gets real world solutions on which to practice and beer money to boot. He hasn’t updated his blog in a while, so maybe he bit off more than he can chew. I’m interested to see more blog entries about $50 projects.
Dick –
Like the idea, huh? Wanna do some subcontracting?

I’d do Excel projects on the side for $50.
I like the idea for him :) I guess if you pay $50 for an XL project you get a project worth $50.
As a self employed Excel specialist I’d say $ 50 will get you what you pay for: about half an hour’s worth.
Now don’t tell me my rates are extravagant :-). It is what I need to make ends meet, to cover for my non-billable hours and for the risk I take being self employed. It is also what you pay to get your job done professionally and efficiently.
“As a self employed Excel specialist Iíd say $ 50 will get you what you pay for: about half an hourís worth.”
I agree, the hourly rate should cover taxes, social fees, insurances and some percentage on top of it for retirement-savings.
Aspects that not self employed easily forget (and usually are not aware of).
Kind regards,
