Freelancers: Happy New Year!! Double your rates.

A thread on raising your rates in 2019: 1//

You can’t whip out a rate increase w/ no warning for current clients. Tomorrow, send an email with subject line “Rate Increases for 2019”

If you want to see more content like this, be sure to RT! I create content by what gets traction - ie, RTs not favorites <3

No pressure, thanks for the love!

2. Find Client B at a higher rate to fill those hours, if your original client won’t play. 15//

Work with client A & B for a month to ensure B willl work out. Then, end the contract with A (following the termination rules of agreement)

Finally: Never start a Negotiation you can’t walk away from. You gotta be on equal footing at least.

Get backup clients in the wing before negotiating with a regular. MITIGATE RISK.

1. Informing them of a 25% rate increase this year. You gotta give yourself a raise boo. They may not be into this, soooo 14//

As always, pls do not enact on this advice without the backing a lawyer/CPA/ other professional. This is from my experience.
