A great designer friend taught me how to bill projects: estimate the time, double it, then add 40% and charge your base rate. Somehow, this usually made me the middle estimate, and the middle estimate almost always gets picked.

It wasn't about writing, but rather a different at-home business. She grumbled constantly about how clients took advantage of her until I asked her why she was letting them. I told her that if she charged what she was worth (the same price everyone else was charging, by the way) that she may not feel so angry at he clients. I agree with your list and the only other time I take less is when I'm trying to build platform and the experience is what I need.

Welcome to my blog and the Ten Habits of success. I too charge per-piece or per-project and find that it makes life MUCH easier. For me, as a mother of three being constantly interrupted, a per-hour price would be impossible to figure out. Plus I find most businesses like being able to budget a true-cost amount vs a per-hour-but-I-might-need-more-time amount. Lorie - Julie always writes great articles - that's why she charges what she does! ;-) Jed – it’s great to meet you! Welcome to my blog and the Ten Habits of success.
