You've Been Here Before

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

You land a project and panic: "How much should I charge?"
You guess. You underprice. You regret it.
You spend 8 days on work and end up with $190. (That's $23.75/hour)
You see other freelancers charging 3x what you do.
You don't know if you should charge by the hour, by project, or by retainer.
You forget about taxes and expenses. Your profit disappears.
You take on revisions and suddenly your hourly rate drops to $15/hour.
You're not sure if you're above or below market average.
You've been freelancing for years but still charge like a beginner.
You worked 7 years of side hustles and made only $4,700 total.
Frustrated freelancer struggling with pricing

The problem isn't that you're not skilled enough.

The problem is you don't have a system to calculate what you're actually worth.
