Hi HN!<p>Pricing Freelance Projects is the book that I've always wanted to write, born through chance.<p>I've been freelancing as a web developer (WordPress/JavaScript) for the last 11 years.<p>When I began pricing my work, I did so without knowing:<p>- What pricing methods to use<p>- What to charge for my work<p>- How to ensure that I got paid in line with what I was worth<p>As time went by, and with a keen interest in business, I started to study pricing heavily.<p>Through my learning, experience and experiments, I priced myself to a six-figure yearly freelance career.<p>Since my success as a freelancer, friends and other freelancers started to come to me for advice on their own careers, leading me to start sharing my thoughts on social media to help reach a wider audience.<p>In June 2020, I posted a Twitter thread summarising my thoughts on pricing freelance projects. It went viral.<p>The thread has received 37,100 likes, 11,200 retweets and over 3,000,000 impressions.<p>Freelancers, consultants, owners of agencies and entrepreneurs across all industries got in touch to offer their praise for the condensed version of my approach. Many people wanted to know more.<p>I’d already thought about writing a book on pricing for freelancers and this response was the catalyst.<p>I set myself a deadline and dropped everything to start writing. I set up a pre-order product on Gumroad to announce that I was working on the book.<p>The book received 229 pre-orders and generated $4,351 in revenue while I was writing it.<p>Now, Pricing Freelance Projects is here and I'm super proud of it!<p>It's ~30,000-words, across 135 pages, divided into 59 easy to digest sections. Available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats.<p>You can check out a sample from the book here: <a href="https://pricing-freelance-projects.netlify.app/pricing-freelance-projects-sample.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://pricing-freelance-projects.netlify.app/pricing-freel...</a><p>Pricing Freelance Projects covers everything that I've learned in over a decade of pricing real-word freelance work.<p>Early readers have given 5-star reviews and I'm humbled at the level of interest my vantage point on pricing has received.<p>I wrote Pricing Freelance Projects because I see skilled freelancers every day who can charge more for their services.<p>I'm posting on HN in the hope that more of these people get to know about the book.<p>If you have any questions, please leave a comment, I'll be happy to answer them!<p>Cheers,
Tom
