Thanks for commenting! I'm looking for a freelance gig for 6 months, to build up some cash to bootstrap the SaaS application (which will be the business front), so I'll need just 1 good project, not hundreds of clients. It's a different model than that of the top providers in this space.
The money part concerns my SaaS project I'm bootstrapping in 6 months from now, the 'current business' (me paying my rent and food) is in no way in danger (and hasn't been in 15 years).
The model isn't different Most development service providers are probably one man shops just like you and they can only handle one full time client at a time (or multiple part time clients.) Making the sale is basically the same for each client. You aren't selling something which can be mass produced. Just saying, you already have a business presence that you have already put some work into, why not dust that off and put it to work? Once you get that one client you are looking for, then put up the "all booked up" sign until you need to raise more cash.
Thank you for your insights. I thought about this, and try to promote 'me' as a product first (given time constraints) versus the 'web design solutions' all the other freelance shops are doing already. If this doesn't work out I'll probably do both.
