Excerpt

Before you start

Pricing is the single decision that affects your freelance income most, and the one most people make by guessing. Charge too little and you work long hours for little money, attract difficult clients and burn out. Charge sensibly and you have time to do excellent work.

This book gives you a formula for your minimum rate, ways to package your work and words for the conversations that feel awkward.

The rest is in the book: 13 pages of examples, steps and a checklist at the end.
