Pricing.

I get the most questions about this when it comes to folks selling their grant writing services.

“What should I price my grant writing services for?”

The word that needs to change to ease the nervous system is to change ‘what’ to ‘how’.

I can’t tell you, “Oh yeah, charge $150 per hour” because we don’t promote hourly for one thing, but there are a variety of other factors that come into play.

To figure out how to price your grant writing services, we do recommend Value-Based Pricing.

This type of pricing utilizes the following elements:

• Time
• Expenses
• Similar professional costs
• Features/Benefits of Services
• Experience/Education
• Types of Grants
• Your Confidence

Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, we have an entire Framework on Value-Based Pricing because we understand the importance behind learning how to price services.

Let’s face it. Product-based pricing is SO much easier. 

Service-based industries are more ambiguous.

But when you have a formula for figuring out your pricing, guess what happens? You get confident in your prices!
