Ask Is it better to display your rates publicly or keep them private when looking for freelance clients?

[Edward22]

A lot of freelancers keep their rates hidden thinking it gives them room to negotiate based on the client. But putting your prices out in the open tends to filter people before any conversation even starts. The serious ones come in already prepared, and those looking to underpay usually move on without wasting your time. It also signals that you are confident in what you charge and not desperate for just any job. Have you tried displaying your rates openly and noticed a difference in the kind of clients who reached out?

You need to display your rate publicly so that if they potential client will know the exact amount you are going to charge for the service they want to do with you. In fact some platform requires that you display the price for the services you want before you can publish anything on the platform.
