For Buyers
Tips for Setting a Realistic Maximum Project Price
These days, everyone wants the "best deal they can find" including the buyers and sellers on Freelancenetwork.net. Buyers want to pay as little as possible for the best quality work while sellers want to earn a fair rate of return on their investment of skills and time. Somewhere in the middle of those two needs lies a win-win situation if you are willing to look for it.
Keep in mind as you read the following project pricing tips that they’re only guidelines. Oftentimes buyers are confused as to how to approach the task of setting a maximum bid for their projects. Hopefully the following information can help.
Tip #1 - Don’t Set an Unrealistic Price
As a buyer, you should strive to set a realistic price for the amount of work you are requesting. There are some buyers who set unreasonably low prices for complex work and there are sellers who will accept those prices. You should know however, that this type of "bottom fishing" is not without its risks.
There will be times when you will get the job done according to specification even after setting and accepting a bid that you know was ridiculously low. Other times, however, you may find yourself on the losing end of the deal and either have the seller walk away without completing the project, or receiving work which is well below your expectations. In either case you'll end up seeking another seller to completely redo the assignment. If you’re a gambler and you’ve got time to spend and money to waste on this type of game, then play away.
But at some level you need to think about the seller. After all, they’re probably relying on the money earned from your project to pay one of their bills. If you don’t accept the project after the seller put their time and effort into it, for whatever reason, that seller doesn’t get paid. The seller loses money and you will have lost valuable time. This is not a win-win situation.
Time is money. And time should never purposely be wasted - neither yours nor the person’s with whom you’ve contracted.
Tip #2 - Make You Needs Clear
As a buyer, you also need to create a request for proposal that clearly describes what it is you need. Clear specifications almost always result in more accurate bids and help reduce disappointment which results from misunderstandings down the road.
Sellers on Freelancenetwork.net have many skills. But one skill no seller possesses is the ability to read your mind. So don’t make them! If you need programming done, and you forget to mention a major or even minor step that has to occur in the process, the resulting program won’t have it. It won’t be the seller’s fault; it will be yours. You can make the claim that you did not get what you expected, but you cannot withhold payment because you failed to accurately specify your expectations.
Likewise, if you need the services of a copywriter, you need to specify the type of copy you need. Is the copy supposed to drive traffic to your site or is it supposed to generate sales? There is a difference. It’s also better to specify the word count you need not a word range, and also your preferred topics. Remember sellers are NOT mind readers. They’ll never select a topic that even closely resembles anything you have in mind. Working as a buyer on Freelancenetwork.net is no different than any other work environment. Good, solid specifications are crucial to the overall success of the project. You’ll get back only what you ask for and nothing more.
Tip #3 - Determine the Type of Project
After you have clearly identified your project specifications, it’ time to begin work on setting the maximum bid. Try to determine whether the work you have is the type that’s better priced on an hourly basis or a per-project basis.
There aren’t really any guidelines for making this type of determination, either at Freelancenetwork.net or anywhere else, so there is no right or wrong determination. The goal here is to help you think more about how long the project will take to complete. If it’ll take X number of hours and the average hourly rate of the people who possess the type of skills you need is Y dollars, simply multiply out the numbers and you’ve got your maximum bid.
The same reasoning applies if you’re basing your decision on a per-project basis. You probably have some idea as to what price a project such as yours would fetch “out in the real world” so use this figure as a basis for calculating your maximum bid.
Just don’t approach the pricing with the belief that “someone who knows what they’re doing can do this in an hour” because unless you know first hand what it takes to do the project, you don’t know whether or not this statement is true. The reality is, many projects aren’t as easy to complete as they appear on the surface.
For Providers
Dos and Don'ts for Service Providers
Do not start to work until you have developed a clear picture of the task (that means that you MUST by all means repeat the whole task in your own words each time before you start the project. That is mandatory and must ALWAYS be done! The buyer will appreciate it very much. Even so much, that you can be sure to not only win a new long-time customer - but also reduce you invested time in programming. Although it might only happen each fifth or sixth time - still... it is worth the time to ALWAYS repeat the task in detail in your own words and ask questions before you start. Understood? this means: ALWAYS! This must become a habit of yours!
- Send a short version of the basic logic of your result before you invest into the details and ask for a feedback by the buyer.
- Agree upon timelines and provide feedback about the estimated time of delivery
- Double check if all the requirements are really met before you deliver your result
- Test the application and make sure it is working flawless
- Documentate your work after! the buyer has approved it
