Pricing your services as a new freelancer can be very confusing because you have no experience and you are not sure what others charge for the same work. Market rate simply means the price that most freelancers in your field are currently charging clients. If you price too low, clients may not trust your work. If you price too high, they may go elsewhere. Many new freelancers struggle with this at the beginning. So how did you figure out what to charge when you were just starting out and had no reference point?
