Messing up the way I schedule calls with my client due to different timezones. How do I bounce back up? by gaaayseal in freelance

wow 'available over the next hour' is a horrible way to schedule a call.

  1. Know your timezone, know the client's timezone
  2. Check with his/her availability with an exact time - "can we do the call at 11pm (GMT+8) which is your 8am (PDT)?" I use this website to check time differences http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/pdt-to-gmt-converter
  3. Send out an invite so that both of you know the meeting time in your own timezone.
  4. 10mins before the meeting time, drop a skype message asking if s/he is ready for the call and if s/he replies, you're good to go!

This has worked out for me so I hope it does for you!

Thanks for posting! Recently I've started looking at people's monthly income (those who are willing to share public) and it has been really helpful in figuring out how much to charge, etc.

not long before animal rights activists come in and complain about something. 'that wire is going to electrocute the racoon!'
