    Scott…

    I like the content. I think you need some visuals peppered in there; it’s a wall of words right now. Speaking of which, I’d recommend you adjust your type size to just a leetle larger than it is now. About 78 percent of the U.S. population is sight-impaired to one degree or another…flyspeck type is a no-no.

    For very long articles, start them on your index page, and continue them to an inside page. That way the reader is not left scrolling down half a dozen full-length articles on the first page. We have attention spans the size of gnats, so you must accommodate these peculiarities. You might check out my blog (in the sig) to see what I’m talkin’ about.

    Other than that, good luck! Ping the search engines, make the most of the most excellent plugins and widgets that WordPress accommodates…and blog on a regular basis!

    One saying I’ve always been fond of is “Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on MY part.”

    Another thought…

    A friend of mine is a highly-regarded audio engineer, who tells people he’s happy to work on the weekends, at 3X his normal rate. When I remarked “Wow…that’s high!” he responded. “I don’t like to work on weekends. This rate separates the men from the boys. And if they DO hire me, then at least it’s well worth my while.”

    It’s a great point. As is -why would you be uncomfortable charging them your hourly rate?

    I’m all for videographers earning at least $90 an hour. That’s just slightly more than skilled trades (electricians and plumbers) receive. Unless you’re doing this for a hobby…get paid what you’re worth.

    Great idea but the vast majority of real estate agents won’t spring the money to make it worth your while.
