Am I a Consultant Now? »
Earlier this week, I met with two new experiences. In the first, I received some goodies from my Amazon Wish List, courtesy of a presumably happy customer of one of my Movable Type plugins. In the second, that same person asked if I'd be interested in doing some Perl work for him on a project he was working on.
I had done some Perl work on plugins, of course, and I had hacked at the MT code a bit, and I had also done a bit of development at work on a site for mostly internal use. So I had some experience with Perl - but this was a real project!
Perhaps it wasn't a good idea, but I passed along my insecurities, not wanting to promote myself as something I'm not, and what do you know - I got the job anyway, it went as well as can be expected, and the code is in place and working for the job that it was intended. Cool. I think I need to figure out how to do some more of this. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am trying to get myself out there as an IA Consultant but I am not sure how to get started in letting people know I am here to support them. Can you give me some advice on this?
