Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I need to earn about $50 an hour to survive, but I am do not expect clients to stay on the hook for unknown time. I usualy work on a monthoy retainer as a consultant for the client, or on a fixed bid per project basis.
How did you get started in this business?
I was a markjeting manager working with 5 different consultants (ad design, catalog design, web, pr and newsletters).It was easier to do the work directly than ito communicate the barand requirements / marketing vision to these 5 unrelated entities. Saw I had a knack for it and decided to become a freelance resource.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Mostly electronic componetnts, as I have a lot industry experience in engineering and project management, but have helped many clients in completely unrelated fields (swimming ppools, doors and windows, music instruments, etc. . . )
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Massive master-distributor website that syncs all its product data down to 9 subsites. The solution for this client did not exist and I nvented int and implemented it while making 10 website look great.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Look at their past work closely, and make sure they actually did said work. Avoid up-front costs with a resouorce of unknown quality, make sure you get a result before you pay for it.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What are their long-term objectives, don't design / develop to fix only today's problem. Look ahead to ensure your investment solve's tomorrow's problems as well.
