All you freelancers out there...
do you find it odd for an agency client to bill by hourly rate with you?
CONTEXT: I'm a copywriter and an agency who's looking for a contractor to off load their client work asked for my base hourly rate -- and involved multiple things like email, work flows, landing pages, etc. I was hesitant to give it, but I did anyway (the range I internally use in my head to come up with pricing).
They ended up declining because they couldn't' afford that rate.
I find that odd unless I'm missing something.
How I see it is my "$200 an hour" might be more efficient & labor saving than someone else's "$50 an hour".
