172: Pricing Your Services to ACTUALLY Make Money as a Social Media Manager

“How much should I charge for X?”, “What’s the going rate for Y?”, “Is Z for this service too much?” are all questions we get asked A LOT. But really, pricing your services is such a personal thing that you should be coming up with yourself – based on what you want to make at the end of the month.

But it’s obviously not as simple as “I want to make £1000, so I’ll charge £1000”. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down everything you need to consider before you slap a random price on your next proposal so that you can guarantee yourself a salary at the end of the month – and cover everything else you need to pay too.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

Big mistakes freelancers often make when it comes to setting prices
Considerations beyond the amount of money you want in your personal account at the end of the month
Why it’s vital to look at expenses from the point of view of being a business owner
How you can use “money spaces” or separate bank accounts to get yourself organised
