181, RE: Pricing for gopher service?

Those I have come across charge between $15 and 75 per hour depending on what they're doing and how far they're going.

One suggestion:?

Go to your favorite search engine.

Look up "gopher rates" "gopher fees" etc. etc. for each name the business could be under - and that's a few names.

You'll see what other are charging.

And join one of the organizations. You'll do quite a bit of learning and receive their expertise, too. It will look better for you, as a new business owner, if you're at leas a member. If you aren't willing to pay for their expertise, you'll pay in the form of mistakes that you didn't have to make -- in the long run.


Seeing what your competitor charges is only one part of pricing your service "just right". I would not "nickel and dime" the client with lots of per fee things. It will be too confusing to the client. And anything confusing, turns someone off. Come up with packages, hourly rate, etc. Create a marketing funnel, too.
