This is a great article, but one thing it doesn't really address: how does one get started doing this while still keeping a day job? I would love to start charging for value by the week, but if I can only spend 10 hours a week on a particular contract, how do I sell that?
- ronyeh 14y agoCharge per 0.25-week increments? As long as you hold up your end of the bargain by providing enough value, they'll be happy to recommend you to a friend, or request your services again. Later on, you can charge for larger increments while retaining your billing rate.
- reubensutton 14y agoI think the point isn't really that he's charging by the week, it's that he's selling the value he provides to the company, rather than strictly selling his time.
- count 14y agoYour value will be 1/4 of what the full week of work would be, so price accordingly?
