Brennan,
Hey! So I’m excited to share with you that on Monday I’ll be hosting a Rate Setting Workshop, the first live & free event I’ve done in over a year. I’d love for you to join (and I think you’ll get a lot out of it.) At the end of this email I have all the details you need to RSVP.
But first, a few thoughts on pricing — which is much more than just the amount you charge clients.
Over the last few years, I’ve built this list of thousands of freelancers. And along the way, I’ve collected a ton of data.
The most interesting data point — and the one that’s easiest to plot and run calculations on — are people’s rates.

Hi there,
Oh man, we're so sorry to see you go. Low use and getting site visitors to engage is the #1 issue to address when beginning to provide live chat on your site. We have a number of strategies to help with this:
Have you tried using our attention grabbers to get more response from your visitors? https://www.olark.com/blog/2011/get-more-attention-from-your-customers/ This and/or the click to chat images might help with getting visitors to notice the live chat option on your site. https://www.olark.com/help/addimage
You can also try adding Targeted Chat rules to proactively start chats with your visitors. It's easy to set up and most people report a huge jump in number of chats when they get proactive about it. https://www.olark.com/extensions/targeting
We also have a best practices in live chat that addresses many small things you do to augment user interactions. Check it out: http://www.olark.com/blog/2012/olark-best-practices-for-getting-started-with-live-chat/
