That flow chart for example #1 gave me a thought. One could map out your suggestions, and use them as a flow chart in obtaining and declining projects. Great work, Matthew!

I think that say “NO” more often is the most important point. I always only work with with customers that are profitable and do not mind turning down a customer if the deal is only benifits the other party.

Mathew- Well written article with a lot of useful information. I would have to dis-agree on one point though about not doing reseller hosting. With the right hosting company and the right email configuration (Google Apps, etc) you can setup a client’s hosting and email at launch and never receive a support call. We host all of our clients and do many of their email services with great success. This also provides a “sticky-ness” that reduces the chance of our clients leaving us for a competitor.

Great post! You had a couple of things listed that it took me years to pick up, and a couple of things that I hadn’t. Keep up the hustle… I look forward to reading more great articles from you in the future!

I must admit I haven’t been taking advantage of using affiliate hosting. I’m certainly planning on doing more of this in the future.
