"In addition if you don't charge hourly yoru clients will make you do changes until you
turn blue. And your real hourly rate could end up being below minimum wage."That's what I'm afraid of. I work fulltime and dont have time for any unexpected BS.
I'm pretty sure the standard in illustration is to charge per project and do it as fast as possible in order to possibly make the hourly rate come out very high.
It seems like everyone is still pretty divided on the subject
of hourly vs project rates.I'm not freelancing full time but I live in a pretty small area outside of the city and it seems really tough to quote small business people high hourly rates. Imagine in a hick voice: "$50 dollars an hour?!"
If I freelanced full time I'd have to get more contacts with
bigger companies in the city.I'm still interested to hear more of your rates.
