I charge between $2-3K a day. But i have 20 years experience and worked for large clients and at big companies.
My best advice is the find an industry which have a lot of consultants working (so you know clients have the money) and then offer yourself as a consultant with a design, tecnical, financial etc approach. I.e be a niche player in a large industry and never grow bigger than 10 people and instead start charging for things that are scaleable and which clients can use even after they move on.
- putnam 9y agoYour agency has 10 people? Was you the first person in your agency?
- ThomPete 9y agoNo we are two looking to hire 4 more. Have freelancers do some of the work until we find the right people. My first agency was 80 in its peak, but its just too much people handling imo.
- putnam 9y agoDid you start the first agency? What was its niche?
- ThomPete 9y agoI started both yes and in its time it was niche (but expanded into much more traditional type company). We were focused on web-app and product design (started in 2005) when everyone was focusing on web design. Did a ton of projects for Adobe and their Lighthouse division who were pushing their flex platform back then. This time we are focusing on something quite different but again in an area with few people who can offer what we do but who still are used to paying for consultants. We get great clients but they get someone who is very experienced and know a lot of the typical pitfalls.
