No harm Dan. I’ve only been in business for myself a few years now. Your prices are much more on par with my current thinking. And no, I don’t charge by the hour either. (I used to for PW when it was harder for me estimate how long a job would take)
I’ll admit, I’m sure I’ve got a lot to learn, but I’m definitely above $50 per hour now.
When I was first starting out, an older friend told me I should aim for at least $50 per hour. So that’s why I used to have that mind set. Honestly, for new guys, I would still recommend $50 hour to a new guy starting out, but, be sure they know as their confidence and experience grows, so should their price.
Thanks for the advice though!
