....help me earn my Instrument Rating when you do!! I used my programming
career to aid in the creation and upgrade of an online pilot store. If the store is successful I will have earned for my hours of work the instruction time needed for my instrument ticket (the site is owned by a San Diego flight instructor). I apologize if the post here is inappropriate, I'm just looking for a decent audience. I have utilized this rec site for a long time to get good information and was the first place I thought of. The store is pretty darn good...close to 1200 items all marked well below mfg sugg price. I am still in the process of uploading all the picture shots, but the quantity is there. www.pilotjourneystore.com Thanks for reading - Jon Baker, PP-ASEL |

You do that amount of work on speculation????? You get paid ONLY IF he
makes money? Nothing wrong with working on trade-out, web site design in exchange for instruction, or even doing a single page as a free sample to get the job, but not very professional on either of your parts to do it on speculation. For both of you, it should be you do the work, you get paid. Period. wrote in message news ![]() ...help me earn my Instrument Rating when you do!!

credentials at the door, they're useless now. "Steve House" wrote in message ... You do that amount of work on speculation????? You get paid ONLY IF he makes money?

Not a matter of credentials, just good business practices. If he wants to
take the risk, he's welcome to it but IMHO it's extremely unwise. Known too many people who have been thoroughly ripped off by doing work on spec. "idkw" wrote in message om...

I'll would receive the trade agreed upon regardless of the financial
outcome. The owner of the store is a local CFI, and I would just feel much better if her project really took off and did well as a result of the changes. I guess the way I worded it sounded like my success relied on the stores increased success. "Steve House" wrote in message ... You do that amount of work on speculation?????

Ahh, don't feel too bad...
The reality is, any time you give a customer any sort of terms, you run the risk of being dependent on their success for payment. I had a customer for whom I did a bunch of work thinking I was actually going to get paid for it in 30 days, and they were sold in an asset sale by their bank 90 days after my invoice date... Of course, all legal advice I received was that my invoice was going to be at the bottom of the list behind the bank's secured credit, and I was SOL... I'm with you - spread the word and help make your customer successful!
