FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically start with $75/hour. For ongoing projects, that works well; for projects that come more in batches, I work with the client, monitoring the time it takes to produce the first one or two, then set a general per-piece fee based on time invested. If the coming assignment requires more time, words or resources, the fee is adjusted accordingly.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
i use the Internet extensively to research topics, then follow up with industry leaders for further insight, I also subscribe to various RSS feeds to stay on top of developments in various fields.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Taking projects from inception to completion offers tremendous work variety and also leverages my interviewing, researching, writing, layout and proofing skills. My writing skills have also been my strongest suit, followed by mechanical intuition. I enjoy the opportunity to learn about businesses and fields, then producing communications that ties it all together for clients so they may be more successful.
