I’ve never freelanced before but up for something. Do they usually ask hourly rate or day rate? If hourly, is it xx/hr with a minimum guarantee? Do you bill every hour you work?

It depends on the agency. They will most times either ask hourly or day rate, so have an answer for both.

Day rate all the way. And my working day is 8 hrs.

Whats your day rate and years of exp?

Usually day rate based on 10/hr days. So if you’re $1,200 a day, you’re $120 an hour. But if it’s hourly I usually pad the rate a touch.

Havas1 - depends on the client. Usually an extra 10%.

I always work hourly. Maybe it’s because I don’t live in NY.

LA is probably also a big cool day rate place

Does working onsite or offsite factor into if you bill hourly or daily?

Is a day rate 10hrs or 8hrs? How much for overtime?
