Strategy ¶

• Choose a unit of measurement
• Price per unit
  • Time (Hours, Days, Months)
  • Pages/Screens
• Price as low as it gets you the job for your first job
• Get jobs as much as your capacity
• Increase the price gradually to get higher-quality jobs

Show off your jobs ¶

• Show off on social media your finished jobs
• Add small details that make you distinct

Be precise and punctual ¶

• Be precise about the contract:
  • Expected deliverables
  • Expected deadline
  • Expected milestones
  • Expected installments
• Write your contract down and communicate any changes in writing

Not what I do while I should ¶

• Survey to know the competition pricing

Problems ¶

• People changing the contract verbally
• People not paying or delaying payment
• People extending requirements after delivery
• Extreme pricing negotiation
• Assuming contract terms like support

Social media ¶
