My Best Pricing Advice for Freelancers

One of the most comment questions I get is, what's a good rate for freelancing? Today I’m discussing some pricing advice for freelancers with a member of the Creative X Crew.

Today’s video is an excerpt from one of our recent Creative X Crew office hours, and it’s all about payment terms and pricing. While this isn’t a thorough pricing guide for freelancers, it does cover many valuable aspects about pricing that freelancers should consider and think about. Knowing how to set your freelance rate, pricing freelance packages, and how much to charge clients is an important skill for any entrepreneur looking to start or thrive in their business. Know your worth and your work’s worth.

Some of the freelance pricing tips we cover in this video revolve around knowing your offer, not looking desperate, setting timelines for payment, and being firm not only in your negotiating but in what you need to complete a project. Pricing your services can be daunting if you’ve never done it before but understanding the logistics behind pricing can help. What resources do you need? What value are you delivering? How will this impact the potential client? Follow the freelance pricing strategies in this video and you’ll be more confident the next time you’re thinking of onboarding a new client or project.

Great approach to something I've always struggled with - communicating one's value to the client.

SOLID advice! I'm a big believer in 100% upfront, and only IF it's a deal-breaker, then 50% upfront and 50% on an agreed-upon date BEFORE completion.

This also weeds out fussy clients. If they are difficult with this, then = 🚩🚩🚩

Great video - thanks. I don't know if you mentioned it, but how do you go about the yearly subscription fees for editor x and explaining to the client, that they will have to pay around 200.- a year just to run the website? I imagine many clients won't understand, why they should be paying "extra" every year, for a website they already paid you to make in the first place... what's your way of handling this issue? Thank you very much!
