Welcome to Lesson 3! If you missed the previous lessons, please go back to that email or head over to the course page. http://sounddesignlive.com/from-the-sound-up/ Notes - Clarifying your financial and time needs is important in guiding you towards the opportunities that are the best fit in your new city. - Example: If I need $3500/month, then I need $875/week, then I need to shoot for a day rate of $438, but I can go as low as $175. Homework 1. Estimate how much your life will cost in your new city per month. I know this kind of research could take a long time, but just come up with a reliable number as quickly as possible. You can refine it later. 2. Estimate how many days/month you want to work, minimum and maximum. Use that to calculate a range for your day rate or hourly rate, as you prefer. 3. Who is your ideal client? Who do you enjoy working with? Who are you most skilled at serving? Hit reply and let me know. Great job on completing your third lesson and I'll see you tomorrow! -Nathan
