Often when pric­ing cre­ative ser­vices we tend to for­get all the lit­tle hid­den costs. Sud­denly you real­ize all the cost os all the “free” pens you pro­cured from the sup­ply closet you were so fond of raid­ing at the office. Last week I wrote about the basics of pric­ing and I think this arti­cle from Free­lance Schools does a great job of high­light some of those hid­den expenses.

I was not being paid the “hid­den” costs which the employ­ees were being paid but never saw them because they were fil­tered out before their wage got to them. It was only fair for me to receive my hid­den costs too, but with­out the filtering.
