💡 Freelancer Pricing & Strategy Tips

📈 Mastering Independent Contractor Pricing

Why Not 40 Hours?

  • Billable Reality: True freelance work involves marketing, administration, and client acquisition.
  • Safe Capacity: 20–25 billable hours per week is standard for sustainable solo operations.

Overhead & Expenses

  • Software & Gear: Subscriptions, hardware upgrades, and workspace costs directly reduce taxable income.

Value-Based Pricing

  • Fixed Projects: Once you know your hourly floor, quote fixed project fees with a 20% buffer for scope creep.
