Pricing your first remote project without underselling yourself

Pricing is the part most professionals find hardest. It's tempting to go low to win the job, but that usually attracts the clients who value your time the least.

Work out your time honestly

Count everything: calls, research, revisions and admin, not just the hours spent making the thing.

Price the outcome, not just the hours

A logo that becomes the face of a business is worth more than the afternoon it took to draw. Think about the value to the client.

Put revisions in writing

Say how many rounds of changes are included. Extra rounds can be priced separately, with no awkward conversations later.

Be ready to explain your price

Clients rarely mind paying well. They mind not understanding what they're paying for. A short breakdown helps.
