October SPARK: Setting client expectations: Project scoping for freelancers
Are you just starting out and have no idea what to charge for your work? An experienced freelancer curious how to prevent client issues from arising mid-project?
This interactive workshop will walk you through best practices for scoping projects, from setting rates to setting boundaries. You don’t have to figure it all out alone!
We’ll cover:
How to clearly scope your project--and why it matters
Guidelines for setting rates
Avoiding issues with clients
...There will also be time to network with other freelancers who may be able to offer tips you hadn’t considered before.
Regardless of industry, we all share similar experiences as independent business owners! We try to ensure everyone leaves with insights and connections that will help their business thrive.
SPARK is built on the premise that we’re stronger together than we are on our own.
Check out the national conversation at #FreelanceSPARK or send a friend to one of our events across the country!
Quick tips:
Yes, this event is for freelancers of all industries. We're all connected by our efforts to succeed in the gig economy.
No, this event will not be taped- it's a meetup!
Sometimes we do bring in an expert speaker- we'll announce that above.
SPARK meeting venue is hosted by:
