Working hourly sucks man. detritus is right. Bill by projects. If someone has advice on how to switch your existing clients from hourly billing to project billing that's what you need, but I don't have any good advice on that. All new clients though, bill by project. Develop an estimating spreadsheet with formulas for how to include your fixed costs into the rate and then negotiate your fee based on that. Bill based on % of project complete, or monthly based on an even division of the fee. Maybe just reach out to your existing clients when you start a new project and ask how they'd feel about switching. If you have ongoing work for a few of them suggest a retainer.
- Working hourly sucks? I find the opposite to be true. I like getting paid for exactly how much I work.iCanHazQBN
