Tracking per-word and per-finished-hour rates across different job types. Dry spells between jobs make cash flow unpredictable. On top of all that, FreshBooks charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median voiceover artist earns $35,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
