A clever way to help get rid of the “feast or famine” part of freelancing

There’s been no shortage of freelancers in my hearty horde complaining to me about the whole “feast or famine” nature of the game. For example: At any given time, they have no clients coming in for weeks or months and panic. Then, suddenly, they might get a rush of clients, and feel they have to heroically work 24/7 and take them all on at once or lose out, because they need the money. Note the evil word “need.” Yes, it’s a neediness type of thing, my Pet. So they take on gigs or sales they shouldn't, and they end up screwing up the fulfillment because they're overloaded and know famine time eventually comes, where they won't have any clients at all. In a lot of cases they may need to have at least 10 clients to make the bills every month, and this month things are really weak and the referrals are low. So now they've only got three or four clients and they're struggling. This constantly being in “feast or famine mode” is extremely common in all kinds of service-based businesses, not just freelancing. The solution? Email automation. Specifically: Creating an email automation system that helps freelancers — or any kind of service based business — have leads being qualified automatically and “behind the scenes”. That way, you can spend your time doing the actual work you’re hired to do, instead of wasting your life away dealing with flakes, second guessing yourself, and taking every scrap of bottom feeding work you can today just to make sure you can make your monthly nut in case your work dries up tomorrow.
