Tips on Fixing Package Design Pricing for Freelancer!
Tips on Fixing Package Design Pricing for Freelancer!
Fixing package design pricing can be tricky. For some projects, it can be quite difficult to know how much time it will take. We have seen many freelancers complaining about package design pricing.
Hourly Vs. Per-Project
Fixing package design pricing for freelancer start with the ultimate freelancing dilemma – Hourly or per-project? The advantage of the hourly project is that you are paid for the work you do. With a packaging design company work, it’s easy for things to get out of hand, and for you to work more.
Unfortunately, some clients do not prefer hourly work. They prefer to give an actual quote. But, we have a solution for that. As you get good with estimating how much time you need to complete certain tasks, you can translate your preferred hourly rate into a flat per-project quotes. For example, if your rate is $50 per hour, and you are confident that it will take an hour and a half, you can quote $75 (or something around). When you are sure how much time the work will take, you should consider building in a little breathing space.
Keep Track of Hours
When you get a chance to work on an hourly project, consider having a time tracking application. If you are going to work hourly and get your expected rate, you better be working on the client’s work all of the time – no messing around on other tabs for 10 minutes of the hour.
As you know how to charge as a freelancer package designer, make sure you give a thought about how long a project will take, as well as the degree of difficulty involved. At first, it could be a little confusing, but the experience will help you more.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
