As a fulltime and fairly successful freelancer now going on my third year, I completely agree with rwhitman here. However, I have something else to offer. The original poster needs to stop thinking of freelancing as the only thing he does. He needs passive income and affiliate marketing projects. But that requires free time. My suggestion on getting free time is to take those periods where you do sales/marketing/advertising stints for new gigs, and outsource that to offshore virtual assistants. That gives you a little bit of free time to slip in the start of a project, and then in the next month you can finish it. For ideas on what to do, visit mixergy.com and let your mind wander from there. As for affiliate marketing, just start with the advice on affbuzz.com and move from there.
