The Two Essential Rules of Pricing Revealed in What to Charge, Published by Outskirts Press

New York, NY, February 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published What to Charge: Pricing Strategies for Freelancers and Consultants by Laurie Lewis. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the business and economics consulting category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/whattocharge was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

The palms of freelancers and consultants can easily get sweaty when a prospective client asks, “How much do you want for this project?”

With the techniques presented in What to Charge contractors will never have to panic again. Author Lewis takes readers through the processes of setting rates, assessing fees dictated by clients, and evaluating pricing experiences.

Freelancers and consultants will learn:
· How to dig for information before quoting a fee.
· How to examine the pros and cons of different pricing methods.
· How to use the only two rules of pricing and why following them will guarantee pricing success.
· How to keep records that will maximize profits on future projects.
· How to analyze one’s income retroactively and to raise rates with little effort.

The techniques presented in What to Charge have stood the test of time and have remained valid through the recession that occurred since the first edition was published in 2000. In fact, because the book presents strategies, it will never go out of date.

What to Charge is equally for those launching a new freelance business or for those who have many years of consulting under their belt.

185 pages in length, What to Charge: Pricing Strategies for Freelancers and Consultants is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the business and economics consulting category.
