Sam is new to freelancing and stuck on a question every beginner faces: how do you charge for value when there's no hourly rate to fall back on? Preston and bestselling author Amy Suto break down what value-based pricing actually means in practice, from calculating a true hourly baseline to pricing in the emotional weight and complexity clients bring to a project. Whether it's ghostwriting a memoir or knocking out a quick copywriting job, they show how to size up a client and land on a number that actually reflects what the work is worth.
