Consultant Cowboy: Pricing Consulting Services

by Ryan Wilcox
Mar, 2011 Issue

Article Synopsis

This article deals with pricing your services as a freelancer. Pricing is a delicate balance of four things: your budget, money considerations, your current expenses and your future dreams. No matter if you bill hourly, by project, or by weeks, how you price yourself is essential. Too little and you run out of money at critical times. Too much? You're too expensive for your clients to afford‚--but too little and your clients may assume you're a minor league player and ignore you (in the "worth the money we paid for it: paid a little, and it was worth only a little" mindset).
