I do a setup service for clients that takes me a few days and produces a genuinely good result, because I make dozens of judgement calls along the way based on what I see in their data. I am building the software…
I do a specific data cleanup and reporting setup for small ecommerce businesses. It is a three day job that I have done nineteen times, and about 70% of it is now scripts I wrote for myself. I charge $3,800 and clients…
