Great podcast you guys — I just had a couple of points I wanted to add to your discussion of why to create a product and the cost comparison between client work and product work.
1. Self-owned products can create equity for a freelancer. I think its hard to compare your normal hourly rate to the time you spend on your own products because it’s time spent on an asset you own — as opposed to just collecting money for hours worked on a client project.
2. Building your own products can reduce (and possibly eliminate) your dependence on client contracts … leaving you with more freedom to work when and where you want.
I personally don’t think about the hourly rate of the time I spend working on my products … because there really isn’t a 1 to 1 correlation between hours worked and dollars earned with one’s own products.
Thanks for the podcast — I’m really enjoying it.
