If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you know that even after 30+ years in this industry, I STILL struggle with pricing. I’ve already offered lots of financial advice on this blog, and I standby everything I’ve shared — my tips and ideas are all based on things that have actually worked for me and my business.
But there’s a lot of information out there: you’re reading my blog, you’re reading books on freelancing and running your own business, you’re talking to other vendors, etc… It gets confusing.
