Talked to a client in Denver who said they only hire freelancers with a public rate sheet now.

Ugh, my rate sheet is basically a public record of my indecision. I had a 'simple' tier, a 'standard' tier, and a 'please go away' tier that was just a picture of a frowning cat. Had to take it all down last month after I realized I was charging less for a full logo than some people charge for a social media graphic. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

Used to think posting my rates was a bad move, like giving away my playbook. That Denver thing makes a lot of sense though, it just filters out the tire kickers right from the start. Totally get what @patricialee means about the tiers getting messy, mine was a confusing mess for years. Having one clear number up front saves so much time on calls where the budget was never going to work anyway.

Wait, what's the Denver thing? I must have missed that post. Is it just posting one flat rate?
