Is charging per hour dying out for freelancers? I posted a poll recently asking how freelance writers are charging. Here are the results from 167 votes: 🐾 42% of writers charge per word 🐾 37% charge per article 🐾 11% charge per word bracket (eg: 1 - 1.3k words) 🐾 10% charge per hour 🔜 Plus, of the 600+ applicants we have in our database, 20% of them left the per/hour box empty. Whereas, ALL 600+ left a per word rate. 🤔 I've noticed charging per hour can do one of two things: 1. Give clients a reason to contest the time you're planning to spend 2. Result in you getting paid less because you can do things quicker = suffering because of your experience. It's leaving freelancers shying away from per hour rates, even when requested to provide one. They either feel like their rate is too high and won't win the gig. Or, that their time to complete is too low, and they're not being compensated for their experience/speed. Vlad Adrian Iancu brought a new pricing idea to the table which I LOVED: Per Value. 💝 I've taken this idea and built on it to develop a pricing strategy that considers your unique experience alongside industry standards: 💰 Per value pricing 💸 [avg. per hour] x [years of experience] = (per hour rate) (per hour rate) x [per no. of hours it will take you, that you're now comfortable disclosing] EG: ▶ $40 x 4 = $160 ▶ $160 x 3 = $480 What do you think? Could this help you find that pricing sweet spot if a client asks for an hourly rate? Does this inclusion of experience help justify how much you charge per hour? Let me know! 💐 #freelancewriting #freelancercommunity #freelancers #pricingstrategy #gigwork #freelancer Freelance Business Community, Open Assembly.
