would really depend on what type of sites you have, how big of an operation you have, how much work they need
. I might not have a lot to offer in some cases for companies that have their shit together but others it might take me several hours just going over everything they have and formulating the best plan of action or changes that they should make. Then I need to get into specifics and details of what needs to be done. I need to try out the system and go through everything as a surfer etc.
I'd have to take a look at the scope of the work and then could give them a price based on the situation. Honestly, i just want someone to give me a shot to help them, if I do a good job I think they would be making me a good offer to either continue helping them with future updates, new or other projects they have, or simply to keep me from giving the same ideas to other companies in the future. While I would enjoy doing consulting jobs here and there and it would be a nice change of pace, I need to be compensated for my time. However, if the company doesn't see value in what I put together and they don't want to use it they don't pay me anything. I believe in the concept, if the customer isn't happy give them their money back no questions asked. If they see a lot of value in what I have to offer, and it works good for them then I figure they would be making me offers to keep me consulting on an on going basis or to just keep me quiet and helping just them.
generating traffic and being an affiliate isn't fun, its a grind. While I do have a couple smaller projects I am working on right now as well for myself, I'd like a challenge of turning a big existing company, or helping to make one that is doing good a lot better. I see what a lot of these companies are doing wrong and I know I can help them do it much better... if they have the resources and they want to fix things. Obviously if they are on auto pilot, gave up, or don't want to spend any money on making changes, we would just be wasting each other's time.
