Wow, thanks for putting a lot of really good info together. I'm also a freelance web developer and you mentioned some things I didn't even think about yet. Thanks for taking the time! The biggest thing I found helpful was the part about the emailing of clients, I've been prone to doing the same thing: not really being clear about a call to action. Something I would recommend (if you're interested in doing this as well), is to rather rent your own server space (I use Fastcomet) and then just build and deploy your websites on it. So what I do is when I talk to/invoice the clients I add hosting/maintenance to the mix as well. Because websites need updates and maintenance anyways, so every client I get I then also automatically turn into a monthly-paying client. Thanks again for your post!
