I gave him a discount. It's only my time that's involved. I don't have to

Give one a discount and they all want a discount.

When I built big ticket, expensive vacuum deposition systems, I gave
discounts to repeat customers, not new ones.

But... But... He needs the business desperately.

And you know this how?


He doesn't. The high point of FlaJim's life was his time in the navy,
swabbing decks or whatever they let low brain output types do there.
FlaJim is a frightened old man without a life, without a boat, without a
job, stuck in inland Florida, where no active person lives not
affiliated with UofF or Dizzyworld lives.

What I charge is entirely up to me. I have a couple of clients who pay
hourly, two who pay a monthly fee, and occasionals who pay by the project.

I farm out graphics work to an artist who used to work for me but
decided after her second kid was born to go freelance. It's easy these
days to collaborate at a distance.
