One observation, though: I notice here and in other posts that you (and many others who write/blog about freelancing) often refer to a freelancer’s hourly rate. I try to never quote work based on an hourly rate, but on a project rate instead. For me, the pricing question isn’t “how long will this take me?” Rather, it’s “how much is it worth to the client?” Of course, I estimate how long a project will take in determining a price, but only to make sure i earn enough to make it worth my while. I earn far more money pricing my work this way than I would if I priced based on an hourly rate.
