Going back to services and products, when we started doing freelance works around 6++ years ago, we made the services part free for one year. Client only has to pay for the customized product. <\/p>\n
Even extended it to a couple more years, since most clients were kind enough to give us new projects (or recommend us to their branches) after the first year.<\/p>\n
It worked well… until 2007, when a new wave of client adminstrators went in… new staff without proper turnovers and a lot of outside factors as well.<\/p>\n
Now we’re spending some time ironing out things.<\/p>\n
In this part of the world, the fair option that I see for freelancers like us would be to sell the Product as Product and the ‘Services as Product’ part will tackle the maintenance part.<\/p>\n
Of course it also depends on what side of the fence are you in. Our Open Source lovin’ friends mostly would go for Services all the way.<\/p>\n
Which works for them.<\/p>\n
On our part, we still have a lot of re-planning to do since we have been discovering, as of late, that most human users are like Francium, one of the most unstable elements in this world.<\/p>\n
Ok… we’re not going into the bloody details of that part. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
