I see that as consultancy, not contracting. An equally valid and even more lucrative occupation I will probably get into sooner or later.

I go to clients who have a project in mind, they need a team to do it, usually full time for several months, but don't need them post-delivery. I get paid, I get to do novel work, and I get to get the f*ck out on time :)

Freelancing, consulting, contracting, it's all the same thing in my opinion. It's just how you want to present yourself. Obviously, going at it as a consultant will net you the most amount of money. But it's only because of how your client will view you. Brennan from Planscope has successfully addressed all these problems and helped people make a ton of more money: http://blog.planscope.io

That is not anything like what I do for a living. I don't approach people with business solutions that will help them, hell, I don't care about business solutions. I work on specific projects that clients already want but don't have or want the people for.
