I'm a former freelancer. I had a video production company that I was able to build from the ground up to a point where I was making anywhere, on a slow month, from two grand a month to a very busy month making seven grand a month on the side. Only working after my nine to five job, only working on the weekends. My name is Ian Balina, as I mentioned before. I'm also the author of the book, The Complete Freelancer Guide, which is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, anywhere online where books are sold.
