Steven Snell has authored a post over on FreelanceSwitch about ways that pricing impacts clients.  Being a freelance web designer myself, I know that setting your rates is one thing that can completely drive you up the wall.

I honestly believe that I’ve priced my services spot on for the 6-years I’ve been freelancing full-time.  Now that’s not saying that I didn’t quote too low or too high sometime or another.  Just that I’ve always been comfortable with my pricing.

However, after the first year of freelancing I gained experience and knowledge and felt that my rate of compensation deserved to increase as well.  Surprisingly (not so much now) this was a very stressful time for me.  Over the years it has become much easier to progress and grow.

If you are thinking about how you should price your services, don’t miss out on this post.

By constantly charging rates that are lower than other freelancers, you’re bound to develop the mindset that your services aren’t on par with the services of others. Likewise, charging higher rates will cause you to view your services in a positive light. This mentality can carry over to your quality of work, because it is subconsciously what you expect from yourself.
