i agree with everything said already. another path i've seen taken is to work as a vendor for bigger agencies (see shops like Code and Theory, KNI, EVB and others) . everyone outsources everything all the way down the line, so instead of being the one getting the work to outsource, you become the person bigger shops come to when they need help (then of course you can always outsource whatever you want down the chain). this will gain you access to a broader range of clients (i.e. you don't have to do the sales part) for your book and, hopefully, you can form relationships with those clients directly down the road.
- i should point out that i haven't been successful with this approach, but it's kind of the path i'm on... ;hope it works.effort
- As I understand it this is the way a lot of bigger firms get their huge clients. An ad agency will get the account...scrap_paper
- which in turn gets outsourced to the firm to implement.scrap_paper
