Pricing Models

The following is a rough breakdown of different popular pricing models in freelancing, as well as some pros & cons for each one.

✌️ Note: There is no ONE way to this. Much of your approach to pricing will be influenced by the type of clients & projects you work with, as well your own personality. Also, to this day I have not worked for/with agencies so I will update this doc based on your feedback.

1. Hourly Pricing

It's the model we, and most of North America, is most familiar with.

Export the mysql database for your WordPress to an .sql file. Unzip it (if applicable) to a convenient place on your computer.

NOTE: If you're using phpMyAdmin to do this export (recommended), make sure that you do a "custom" export, scroll down to "Object creation options," and check these two boxes:

[x] Add CREATE DATABASE / USE statement
[x] Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT statement

Open your .sql file in your preferred text editor. Make the following four changes.

	<?php
	/**
	* Restricts certain menu items from appearing the WP Admin area. Does not
	* affect Administrator users.
	*
	* @action admin_menu
	*/
	function fjarrett_restrict_admin_menu_items() {

	// Don't restrict Administrator users.

-<?php
-//* Remove toolbar from frontend and remove CSS that bumps content down
-add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', 'bhl_hide_admin_bar_from_front_end' );
-function bhl_hide_admin_bar_from_front_end(){
-    if ( ! current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
-        return false;
-    	// Remove CSS
-    	remove_action( 'wp_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb' );

	}

	// function to set default image link to none

	<?php

	// Dynamically generated images objects


	// Properties
	$props = array('ID', 'caption', 'title', 'alt', 'sizes');

	// Make an images object
	$images = new stdClass();

	<?php
	// check if the repeater field has rows of data
	if( have_rows('drop-down_menus') ) :

	$array = array(); // empty array, must be declared outside of while loop

	$i = 0; // incrementer

	// loop through the rows of data and add to our array
	while ( have_rows('drop-down_menus') ) : the_row();
