Ten Signs You May Be Charging Too Much
31 Oct, 2007
Previously we mention the signs that indicate that you were charging too little. In this occasion Freelance Switch tells us the opposite.
Number 10:
To justify the price on your quotes, you’ve started writing extra words that usually mean the same thing…
eg. Creation of Concept, Concept Development, Concept Refinement, Tweaking to Concept, Amendments to Concept ….
Number 9:
You’re still living off a job you finished in 2005.
Number 8:
Even large clients ask to pay you in installments.
Number 7:
Clients ask if you are perhaps quoting in Singapore dollars even though you live in Ohio.
Number 6:
When you mention that a change request is going to incur additional charges, most clients start to hyperventillate.
Number 5:
No-one ever hires you twice.
Number 4:
When presented with an estimate, clients often say things like “If you didn’t want to work with me you could have just said so”.
Number 3:
When you tried to use the FreelanceSwitch rates calculator your computer exploded.
Number 2:
When you hear how much your lawyer charges per hour you think ‘peh, small fry!’.
…. And the number one sign you may be charging too much
You have reportedly charged *cough* $700,000 for this logo…
