First I just have to say this was titled "How I launched a productized consulting service in 2 days that brought $15,450 worth of work in the first month" but that was a little long for HN :)<p>There are just a ton of things to learn from this article. I'm not sure if I can cover them all but I'll try<p>> freelancing service with a fixed length, scope, and price<p>This negates a ton of the pains of freelancing. You wouldn't have to go through a ton of contract negotiating on price and work delivered because everything is fixed a clearly define. You shouldn't have to worry about going past the end date of the engagement since you're offering a productized consulting engagement which you're an expert at.<p>What if anything falls out beyond what's defined in the scope and end date? Just define a traditional MSA and SOW. The process should be a lot easier since you've already established trust with the client which is usually what 99% of contract agreements are all about (not a real statistic).<p>> Announce LPIAD like a product<p>This is what I found particularly fascinating. This service can be launched. And by launching you outreach to thousands of potential customers you couldn't reach before. That's the ultimate cold call!
This comment from the author seems to be a (very rough) summary of the ebook
