I find that giving people an hourly rate is intimidating. So, if you know the scope and a rough timeline for the work to be done, just add up your time and give them a number. If they dont like the number just talk it over a let them know where you can help and what might not be doable based on timeline and pay. Ive found its more of a balance between what you want to make / how much time you want to spend on it and how valuable the client is... If you know youll get more work in the future or its an enjoyable project.. its ok to sacrifice a little pay. If you hate the project and dont really want to mess with it, charge for your stress. If they want to pay a lot to have you do it, you win. If they dont want to pay you what its worth to you, you still win because you dont have to stress.
- Thanks, maybe I should just give the time estimate first and see what happens. They already had a seizure at the hourly rate.5timuli
