		<description><![CDATA[A new year and new prices are in full effect. With tax season gearing up and the economy slowly on the mend—or still in the toilet depending your point of view—it’s a good time to take one last look back at 2010 and see how well you fared and use what you learned to plan how you want to end 2011.

		<description><![CDATA[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.
