I'm looking at designing packages right now to suit different needs and budgets and will keep this suggestion in mind. It is something I definitely want to do. It's great you brought that up. @ Christine: the monthly thing is something I have yet to offer when I first work with clients.

As a freelancer - you MUST have a contingency plan for dry spells. One thing that I've found helpful is get clients on a monthly schedule - delivering x number of articles/press releases/web pages/etc each month. I totally agree with you about the outsourcing and do the same thing. I take on more work than I can do myself and outsource some of it. If one of your clients falls through (which just happened to me), you still have the work you were outsourcing to fall back on. :) Christine So true!

This is definitely something I am working on at the current moment with my niche blogs to gain position in the serps hopefully sooner than too late. You are so right about planning ahead.
