Dan Mall on Pricing
May 4, 2015Dan Mall with some advice on pricing as a freelancer. Especially useful if you’re just starting out. The best advice one could give you is probably “Experiment as much as you can”. I’m working freelance since about four years now, and i’m still experimenting with and adjusting my pricing on pretty much every new job i take on.
For your first paying gig, do what everybody else does: pick an hourly rate. There’s no wrong rate the first time; pick a number out of thin air. (Hint: that’s how everyone does it.)
Your rates will be too low at the beginning, thats pretty much for sure. But eventually you will get better at estimating and more confident at selling.
