Writing For Others – What to Charge?
An ongoing question for freelancers is, what do you charge when you’re working with a small client that’s not used to hiring out work? Writer’s Weekly has some tips, including:
Get the entire preliminary scope of the project in writing. Be sure to list as many details as possible. If the project description seems too broad, ask lots of questions and include the additional information they provide in your proposal and the contract itself. This will be your best weapon later when they don’t want to pay you for additional work.
Estimate the total number of hours you believe will be required. Stress in bold that this is a rough estimate, based on the scope of work initially provided to you for this project.
Quote an hourly rate. If the client wants to see a round number, multiply the hourly rate by the projected number of hours. But, remember to stress that the figure is a rough estimate based on the information initially provided by the client and again state you’ll be billing them by the hour.
