I’m not sure I’ve found the flat rate method to be effective.

This was very helpful. The automatic renewal is something Imay consider also. One of the comments mentioned that not charging by the hour could lose you money if it goes over a certain amount of hours. But I believe if you monitor and stick with a specific process then the client does not have any room to add unecessary time to a project. Even if the client goes outside that process then you are still free to charge for that as well. [rq=562069,0,blog][/rq]DOs and DON’Ts of Social Media

I went this route…if you have a client that makes a lot of changes or can’t make a decision you will lose money. I’m glad this is easier for you, that’s great, but the designer also has to make a living at their craft. It is not really a hassle to give a ballpark figure to someone who asks the time question. If you have been doing this long enough you should have a good idea on how to handle those questions. After all how else could you come up with a menu of prices? You would have to have a good idea of what a project entails (time wise) to do that. Otherwise you would lose money. If I say, charge 300 dollars for a logo & put 30 hours into that logo (because of the customer) I would only make 10 bucks an hour. This may be fine for you…but not a good strategy to make a living by.

strangely enough, most of these tips sound very familiar – … ah! One of our suppliers – a company that offers services to us – has them implemented, but sometimes is so much hussle for the customer/client, that if the client is smart enough they will do the small updates/functions that this supplier does – SO THAT THE RETAINER FEES would not constantly go up! At least that’s what I noticed…
