Plug for Brennan's plug: This book is amazing. I've increased rates by +$30/hr with the advice in this book. If you send invoices to clients BUY THIS BOOK.

  Not to be a wet blanket, but I recently increased my hourly rate by $50 and I didn't need to read a book. I just decided to bump up my rates. And I did. If you provide value, and you're good at what you do, why not ask? If it's because you can't handle being told no once in awhile, maybe Rejection Therapy[1] is the best way to go. The game can be applied to all aspects of life, not just getting higher hourly rates. [1] http://rejectiontherapy.com http://rejectiontherapy.com

Guys, I said it on the (yet unreleased) podcast and I'll say it again -- this book is amazing, and it would be foolish not to spend the mere $39 on real, actionable advice that can double your freelancing rate. In the first 20 pages I found at least 3 things that I wanted to try out in my next proposal. I still can't believe Brennan's only charging $39 (with promo code) for it.

Extremely actionable advice in this. Compared to a lot of super fluff books, I used this immediately, and it made me more money. Great book and worth every penny.

This is for the "doing pieces of consulting/dev work for companies" style of consulting, correct? I do the "sign up for 6 month contracts on-site" style of consulting. Do you have advice for those people?
