[THREAD]
[THREAD]
Before we start - don't go into freelancing with the mindset that you NEED to charge a ton when you are starting out
You don't, you need practice and repetition more than anything
Start at $500 and raise your prices as you go

For the experienced, here is a description of the $500 client
- Extremely needy

My point with this thread is to make you realize that you have the potential to charge a LOT for your services
In order to do this, you need to start treating your business as a business
NOT: "Hey I can create a website! Hire me!!!!"
