What is your hourly rate for services beyond the scope of the original project?
I try to stay in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. But have gone to $3500 if doing favor or business is slow. The higher range will include bringing in a copywriter. The hourly rate is $100 per for out-of-original-project-scope requests.
I also round my estimates to odd numbers and line-item all elements ($8,467 and not $8,550) so clients feel that the number is based on specific tasks. If they want it for less, I provide less.
I ask for half up front for new clients on first jobs but will do thirds if requested.
