There is so much shame surrounding money, talking about, asking for it; often this causes things like unequal pay, the gender pay gap and more. Let’s open up the conversation, be more transparent and keep the market price up, so we may all benefit from getting paid our true worth. In this episode we cover how to work out the right day rate for your skill set and experience, how to raise your day rate and how to let your clients know when you do. Some great tips along the way from Alex Holders book; ‘Open Up, let’s talk about money,’ as well as from our own experience freelancing for the last 3 years.
