This week’s #solopr Twitter chat covered a wide-range of topics, with some of the top pros in PR consulting weighing in on the following questions:
1) Do you take credit cards or some sort of online payment vehicle?
2) Have you ever relocated your biz to another city/state? How did that work? Did you keep clients?
3) How do you justify retainers over $2k/mo, and/or how do you explain your hourly rate?
4) What are some of your biggest “lessons learned” (the hard way, or otherwise)?
One of my favorite quotes came from Kristie Aylett, aka @krisTK:
Lesson learned: more clients and more money do not equal more happiness or career satisfaction.
