My second is that if, after you give your rate, you’re confronted with horror or derision or smart-aleckry, there’s a very good chance this is someone you wouldn’t enjoy working with in any case. Politely tell them these are terms happily accepted by your other clients and end the exchange as quickly as possible.There’s absolutely room to slightly shift your standard rate for different clients, and to offer lowered rates for close friends and family if you want to. If you’re confident in your work, however, and you know from previous experience and research that your fee is acceptable, there’s no need to reconsider what you charge.
