Lesson Info
Milestone Gigs
So milestone gigs and how to use them. Now, milestone gigs are very similar to custom gigs. And if you've watched that video, then this video is going to be quite similar. The only difference is milestone gigs allow you to break down bigger projects into smaller bite sized chunks. Now, personally, I feel like milestone gigs are not as effective as they probably could be. And there's a reason for that because when you work with a client, you are ultimately trying to satisfy them every single time you engage with them and throughout a larger project, sometimes things can happen, can leave the client quite annoyed. Now, obviously, this is something that we try to avoid, but sometimes it happens beyond your control. So for example, maybe the client makes a mistake or edits something on the website whilst you're building it, which knocks the project back by maybe a couple of days years or maybe even a week. This is not something that is down to you or it's not your fault. But basically, the...
client may not understand that it isn't your fault and they may basically blame you for that particular thing happening. Basically what I'm trying to say is with milestone gigs, it is far better, I think personally to set up separate gigs where things are finished and complete instead of having milestones within a gig so that you're still working on one large project, but you only have separate milestones you're working through instead of having completed phases are completely put away and tied up and finished. Now, to be completely honest, I've been on fiber since 2017 in April and I have not used a milestone gig any point during my fiber journey. So to be quite honest with you, I'm probably not the best person to speak to this. But as I've said before, I do not agree with how milestone gig are structured. I do not think there's any benefit to them. I would rather have three separate gigs so you can get three separate reviews and you can also have the freedom of leaving the gig half way through the process if you really want to. So for example, if you're designing a website and you do the first part of the website and then you don't really want to follow through with the second two phases because maybe the client is asking for too many revisions or they're just really difficult to work with, then you can walk away without being been shackled to the milestone gig where you basically have to finish the full project. That's just my opinion. But please make your own judgment. And do your own decisions. But I just want to give you my humble opinion to make sure that you are looking after yourself whilst also making sure that you make the best use of your time when serving clients. So you can work with the best clients and you have the flexibility to change if you need to. I hope this video was helpful and I look forward to seeing you in the next one. See you soon.
