Very good ! I'm sure that, after some more thought / experience, yourself or an associate, will be able to devise an automated screening script that can help you make an initial categorization of potential clients based on High, Medium, Low expected ratios of "dollars per minute" criterion, even before personal interaction. There may even be some commercial packages available that you could customize. Inquisitive, creative, and a quick-learner as you are, I've no doubt you'll increase your hourly return many folds for a good product. Best wishes,

Re: I will, at some point, be interested in a store with you.
benzinha - keep in mind that you do not need any money for me to provide you with an online store. The only thing I cannot provide is a free domain name. I need a few testers or guinea pigs for the latest release of my store template. Just say the word and I will set one up for you to use.

ash_pradhan - thank you. I've already made a few bucks from this template. Over 30 months I've sold approx. 150 copies at $10 each plus another dozen or so installations, some with webhosting contracts. As discussed in the previous post, some of those sales have eroded the time versus return profit ratio. I would have been far better off with fewer sales if I could have eliminated the few time wasting clients that turned a handful of those sales into long drawn out affairs.

I will, at some point, be interested in a store with you.
First let me get my income back up.

Troosha - Thank you - I just have a few loose ends to tie up
I want to improve the template graphics first but I think I will be done by the weekend. I'll make the product available with a simple salespage, then finish the tutorial. So pre-launch this weekend, official launch sometime shortly thereafter.

gomedome
I'd say the site is shaping up quite nicely.  When do you launch?
