Quick takeaways

  • Hourly pricing does not value speed or efficiency, it is important to consider the value provided.
  • Project pricing allows for a flexible and value-based approach, considering factors such as supply and demand and the impact on the client's business.

Deep dives

Don't choose hourly pricing

Hourly pricing is not recommended due to the perception of it being cheap and the fact that being more efficient can result in lower income. Charging by the hour does not value the speed or efficiency of the freelancer's work. It is important to consider the value provided to the client rather than focusing solely on the hours invested.
