What this is
Many freelancers underprice because they are guessing, then lose good projects because their proposals are vague. This course gives you a structured way to price: understanding your real costs, choosing between hourly, project and retainer models, scoping work tightly, and presenting options. It then walks you through writing proposals that restate the client's problem, describe the outcome, set boundaries and make the next step obvious. You finish with a pricing sheet and a proposal template built for your own services.
You work through it at your own pace, lesson by lesson, applying each exercise to your own situation. It does not promise time saved, income or business results; what you get out of it depends on how you apply it to your own work.
What you will be able to do
- Calculate the minimum rate your business needs to be sustainable
- Compare hourly, project, value-based and retainer pricing for your services
- Scope projects with clear deliverables, revisions and exclusions
- Present tiered options that help clients choose
- Write proposals that are specific, readable and easy to approve
