Quotes to ponder:

“Charging hourly rates is the biggest mistake you can make as a freelancer.”

“Value-based pricing is when you charge based on the value your work provides to your client, not the number of hours you work.”

“When you charge based on value, you get paid more, you attract better clients, and you’re no longer stuck trading hours for dollars.”
