Are you a self-employed professional
or freelancer? (Translator, editor, interpreter, writer, designer, instructor...)
Do you care about getting paid?
Do you ever receive checks that don't quite seem to reflect the value of your work?
Do you find yourself wondering if you are setting the right rates for yourself?
​
​
We'll be looking at worksheets and models for calculating our rates in a math-based, goal-oriented way.
join us!
Join us for a 2-hour interactive workshop, including breakout group discussions and a Q&A, to:
-
Plan for vacation and sick time — and weekends
-
Look at yearly earnings targets based on different life scenarios
-
Use hourly calculations to balance our work and life, even if we price our work per word or per project (This includes translators and editors!)
-
Make math-based choices about when and how we work and the schedules we set
-
Talk through our own real-life experiences
​
We will cover:
​
-
Pricing options: Hourly, per word, project-based, value-based — And how to account for technological innovation in our industries
-
Knowing our minimum, mid-range, and ideal rates
-
Calculating our per-word or project rates using hourly calculations that reflect our lives
- Why to focus on marketing to new clients
-
Why pricing varies by client and by project
-
"Good things come to those who wait": Fielding inquiries ranging from "great new client" to "scam"
-
Those 9 "no's" before that 1 "yes"
-
Communicating up front to build positive client relationships
​
And a bonus tip...
