Figuring out the right price to charge your clients is one of the first challenges you come across as a beginning freelancer.

There’s no need to worry about it though. Whether you’re a beginning freelance writer, designer, developer, or marketer, there are a few tricks you can use to figure out the ideal price for your freelance services. And I’ll show you how.

Most experienced freelancers will likely tell you not to rely on freelancing marketplaces to find work.
