How do I set a quote for two blog pages? A company reached out to me on LinkedIn hoping to revamp their web copy for two pages. They said they had to quickly change it given the FDA guidelines and it’s not enticing enough for them. It requires a fair amount of cultural expertise and I don’t want to undersell or spook them either. Any advice on how to approach this? I also want to have a rider for corrections, revisions and extra meetings etc.


Appreciate the help!

How long do you think it might take you? Guesstimate the hours, including time for meetings and revisions - just in case. Come up with an amount based on a freelance hourly rate - obviously not based on your salary hourly - and add 15% to that number. (I’ve never added a rider as I’ve found people like a flat rate better for budgeting.)

This gives you the ability to quote them a fair price, and lower should they need it to be a little less.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

The offer is:
