Jeez, If I could do the amount of work I did today EVERYDAY, I could make over 200,000 this year.

And the wife pays off her car this month Laugh

I hear you, man. I had two sessions booked at a client's studio for this morning. Last night I got a call from the studio with a small job for a third client. Then, when I got home from there, there was a nice Voice123 job waiting for me in my in-box. If every day went like today, I'd be approaching Philip Banks territory. Rolls Eyes

Know what you mean.

I've been busy non-stop with paying VO jobs since right before Christmas.
(though I did take a self-imposed break between Christmas and New Year's, of course)
Yeah, if we can keep up this pace for, say, another...what....350 days or so, it could turn out to be a decent year! Wink

Really, really quiet here. Not sure what I'm going to do. Terrible, awful!

Hey ho! Life goes on!

Keep your chin up, young fella. I'm sure it'll all work out. Wink

Ron, I've walked down that line of thinking before. I did a $3,000 job recently that took just 20 minutes....

so that's $9,000 an hour,

and that's $54,000 a day (hey, I'm only workin' six hours a day at that rate),

and that works out to about a gazillion a year.

What a business!

Funny you should mention this b/c I, too, have been busy and the clients have all paid right away! AND, I paid off the car and now have the title before me. Feels like it will be a great year.

Can I stand next to one of you, and touch you (appropriately, of course)? Mandy, I believe you are the closest one to Cambridge.

Maybe I still have time to audition for that $20. per .30 second job.

I'll join the party on this one. Great since the begining of the year! New clients, unexpected new business from old clients, less cars, more narration. Just did several radios for the big casino in my hometown. Keep it comin' 2009!

I sit here with new business cards in hand (very nice ones by the way)...a new website on the way, new home studio set up and a major desire to be part of the money makin' monkey cage family. Send that "booked from sun up to sun down vibe" in MY direction....Please...
