The most common question I hear people ask is, “Are there other companies like Field Nation or are there other sites like WorkMarket where I can get additional work?” Yes! but most techs won’t tell you about them because they don’t want you competing with them in the marketplace for Field Nation alternative clients.

You may have watched a few of my YouTube videos or come across my website and heard me reference my client list.
In today’s video, we’re going to be talking about some detail about what is in that list and why it may benefit you.
My name is Michael Fieri and I am with Field Tech Academy, and my goal is to help technicians make more money in this freelance IT tech industry.
So let’s get right into what is in my client list.
what exactly does my client list have in it?
Obviously, it has the names of these different clients.
I’ve also added some more information.
I put everything together in a spreadsheet.
Obviously, we going to have the name of every client that is in the list.
going to have the type,
whether they are a platform like Feel Nation at Work Market
whether they’re a contract client and that is just you and them having a contract
together.
This column will show you the lifetime revenue that I’ve generated. Just to kind of give you perspective on what I’ve made, to give you an idea of which ones you might want to focus on first.
This gives you an idea of
how they send their work orders. Are they sent by email or are they on a website?
Are they in an app?
Every client has their own procedure.
The right type columns are going to go over
how they pay.
Some of them are strictly hourly.
Some of them are a mix of flat and hourly.
just gives you an idea of what you can expect in terms of the types of pay.
The typical pay rate column goes over what I’ve negotiated in terms of pay rates with these clients.
Obviously, with a platform, it’s going to depend on the buyer that’s putting the ticket on the platform.
I live in the Midwest.
The cost of living here is lower
you know, and I’m not in a massive city like Dallas or Los Angeles or New York,
those cities.
The cost of living is higher. The competition is also higher. So the rates can be different in different parts of the country.
But at least in my spreadsheet, it gives you an idea of where to start, you know? Okay, I know this guy has made this much money per hour or this much money per project,
so that gives you an idea of what you can negotiate. And by all means, if you can negotiate higher and make more, go for it.
Payment terms that tells you, okay, this client is going to pay net 30, this one is going to pay net 15, this one’s going to pay net 60.
That way you know what to expect when you’re billing them.
This column will give you an idea of
how you’re going to build them.
Are you going to email an invoice? Are you going to do it in an app? Are you going to close on a website?
Then the onboarding method?
Are you going to go to a website to join their company? Are you going to do it through an email system?
Then where I have a contact, I’ve listed the actual name and phone number and email
of their onboarding person.
Obviously, if it’s a website, there’s no onboarding person, so that’s blank for those people.
And as I go through this
and I get new clients or I get new updates,
I always send out emails to people who have bought the list
to give them updates
of, Hey, I just found a new client
or Hey, I just negotiated a new rate with this client so that
you will know,
okay, Hey, you know, now I can try to
renegotiate my rate with them
if they are a website based one that I’ve listed the onboarding website where you’ll
go to actually sign up for that client.
had a lot of people ask about Canada
and I’m still working on finding out from these different clients if they operate in Canada.
if you’re in Canada, I really wouldn’t encourage you to buy this list because I don’t have confidence that you can make money off of this list.
This really should be strictly for U.S. residents.
I’ve got their onboarding website, and I also have their main company website. That way you can go
research them and get information on them.
But I’ll tell you, most of the clients in this list, I’ve vetted them,
I’ve worked with them, I’ve been paid for them.
The only one that I will give you a caution on
is barrister.
I have not had good success with Barrister.
I’ve talked to Peter and you’ll see I’ve got an interview on my YouTube channel from Peter and he makes money off of them
and has no problems with them.
So it is possible, but that’s one client that I would say you need to be cautious about and definitely not be one of the first ones I would sign up with.
I also list their main company address
Then we go into their insurance coverage. This is going to show you what they require coverage wise on commercial, auto,
commercial, general liability and workers comp.
you’ll find that some of the clients have different levels of coverage requirements. So what I’ve done is I’ve just found which client requires the most.
For example, one requires $2 million of general liability.
Maybe another one only requires 1 million.
Well, my policy covers 2 million
It’s easier just to
take my policy to $2 million,
and that covers all the requirements for all the clients.
If you’re a good tech with good skill sets, there’s no reason you can’t sign up with these clients and make good money
very, very quickly.
I strongly believe you will more than make up for the cost of the list.
