Some of use union scale as a jumping off point. Others make it up as they go. And then there are brilliant beacons of sanity and thoughtfulness like my friend Mary McKitrick. She’s written an amazing and detailed analysis of many of the factors you need to consider when you set your rates. Take a few minute and read the whole thing. You’ll be glad you did.

Bob!
Thanks for posting this link to Mary’s post!
What an AMAZING wealth of information! I feel like just adding a link to her post to the bottom of all my emails with the line: “If you think my rates are too high, click here!”

Liz,
Yes, indeed. Mary, along with her superb voiceover work, is a really gifted thinker and writer. And when she puts them all together, it’s always great stuff.
Be well,
Bob

Many thanks for the mention here Bob! I’m going to try to remember that phrase, “brilliant beacons of sanity”, the next time I’m teetering on the brink of the abyss (happens regularly around 5 pm). You are too kind 🙂

Be well,
