Know the going rates and how your unique skills stand out.
🙅♂️ Set a Baseline
Figure out your “no-go” number.
This is the lowest you’ll accept after considering taxes, tools, and time.
Build in wiggle room for flexibility.
And don’t forget: perks like referrals, flexibility, or that sweet work-life balance can also be part of the deal.
😎 Present with Confidence
Your rate isn’t a cost; it’s an investment.
Show clients the value they’ll get.
Start high to leave room for negotiation, and be super clear about what’s included so they don’t ask for more without paying extra.
🤝 Negotiate Like a Boss
Ask questions. Listen closely.
Offer options, from premium to budget-friendly.
But remember—never sell yourself short.
✍️ Put It in Writing
Get everything in a contract, including reviews for long-term gigs, so you can bump your rate when the time’s right.
