Publisher's Synopsis
It's time to take the "free" out of freelancing
However many brilliant ideas, diligent hours of work, or good connections you have, it won't mean a thing if you aren't charging enough.
How do I know?
I'm Stephen Poynter, and I've worked a number of both corporate and entrepreneurial jobs, including in wealth management, consulting, digital marketing, vacation rental management, and other pursuits ranging from even candy vending machines to audiobook narrating.
And I've seen enough to know there are a lot of people with great potential that end up selling themselves short in the vibrant gig economy.
That's what I'd like to help change.
In this book, I'll show you:
- Why billing an hourly rate similar to what you would make as an employee is about as sure a path to extinction as there is - and why in fact you should probably charge at least 3 times more
- Why hours don't even matter in the first place
- How to convince both yourself and your clients of the true value of your labor
- How to structure project fees that reflect your results rather than your time - and that help you stay alive and sane in the process
If you are going to be part of the freelance economy, I want you to do it well. The flexibility, autonomy, creative potential, and financial reward are there - if you know how to do it right.
Pick up your copy of this guide now to get the best tips I've learned on this journey. I trust it will help you not only survive, but thrive, as a freelancer.
