Don't know exactly what you mean by "Friends who do contracting type work" I've been looking for anything and everything for awhile now and it seems like either an "outsourced" market or "Dry" market lately.
As for things getting better doing the same, I know that hands down, I've been working on NEW stuff but without the capital I can't get any further with them.
The problems I've been running into mostly is clients just vanishing for weeks / months at a time, they contact me for an order, make the order, agree on price, get payment info and then POOOOOF gone.
Or I have someone contact me for a custom package and then never get back yes or no
Or... they just don't respond at all via ICQ, Emails etc after they say "let me know when you get _______ ready to sell I'll deff take that package when it's ready"
IF I had just HALF my outstanding invoices paid on I'd not only be out of the hole BUT I'd be ahead enough to launch my new projects
As for the others offering me to sell my stuff via their stores / contacts I thank you very much BUT I entered into a deal awhile back that gave exclusive resell rights to one company, only THEY and ME can sell the packages in my store. FUTURE PACKAGES can be sold via multiple stores but right now what I'm selling can't be sold via other 3rd parties without violating my license agreement I made with them and because I'm honest (another reason I'm poor
) I won't break that agreement!
IF and when I get the time to make more packages for sale I will deff contact you guys and put them in your stores and we can split the revenue, I'd make content right now BUT I'm filling an order for someone right now AND I can't justify anymore rendering times with the bills going into shutoff mode, can't render without power.
