Allena – I would be, too, if I could get away with it. But our MO seems to be lots of little clients rather than one or two big ones.

Peturla – I am a spreadsheet master. I’ve tried all sorts of different accounting and small business software, but nothing seems to beat the intricate and overly-complex spreadsheets I seem to come up with.

This is a great article. The administrative side can take up a lot of time, but it is necessary like you pointed out. I like how you break down your clients. Do you use spreadsheets to compile the information? Petulas last blog post..Listening to Digital Radio

I'm curious — do you use any kind of CRM system to manage your clients? Or some other sort of database, perhaps? Thursday Brams last blog post..Blogger For Hire: Can You Make Money?

I think I prefer 2-3 big clients with longish projects, and ONE filler to keep my interest. All that juggling tires me. I guess I'm definitely an "easiest route" kind of administrator. Allena Tapias last blog post..Style Guides- MLA, AP Style, Turabian- Oh My!
