Monthly earnings: $5k - $30k

I was charging $125/hr when I first started. 

To earn $5k, I would only have to work 40 hours. Not per week. Per month. 

But the work takes up more hours than that.

If you win a client, you should be making at least $10k/mo. The only reason to go below that is for a retainer with massive upside if you successfully complete a transaction.

At my height of charging hourly, I was charging $225/hr. If I worked full time, I'd earn well over $30k/mo.
