depends on where you are located and your background and experience. I would guess between 250-20 dollars/hour

I don't know where you're living, but I used to charge $60 / hour. I had a friend who charged around $90. From what I've seen $60 - $120 / hour are within industry standards. You don't want to gouge people, but I think $30 an hour is too low, especially for jobs that involve travel. If you put a high value on your work, others will, too. If you put a low value on your work, others will, too.\n\n[edit: I would have charged about $150 for a 2.5 hour job. My friend would have charged about $225. He used to scold me for charging too little! Of course, this was in central New Jersey, near Princeton, which is a pretty heavy populated, well-off area. I never had any complaints about my rates being unreasonable. If I remember correctly, some of the franchise repair businesses, like Geeks on Call, charge up to $120 an hour. Seriously, I would recommend raising your rates to $45 or $60. If it doesn't work out, you can always lower them again. Best of luck to you!]

I don't know what you earn, but in the company I work for, I hire co-ops from xxxxxx University.  The tech department co-ops started at $18/hr the first year, and if we wanted them to stay, they were offered a $1/hour increase each year thereafter.  If they were good, we offered them to stay on after they graduated at $25/hr.\n\nMaybe you can  base your request on that.

it will vary by area- one way to find out rates is pretend you are an interested client and call your future competitors for quotes on a job.  Then you know the going rate and know your competitors rates so if you bid on a job you can beat them.  \n\nhave you tried to google it and see what comes up?\n\nlook at marketing consulting firms online

Assume you mean Austraila -- avg salary I'm paying is approx. A$18 per hour for acctg staff; however, I get this work performed significantly cheaper by exporting the work to the Phillippines. If u can send this work off shore -- let me know I can at a minimum give you my input. bc@rtms.com.au

that depends on what your doing and what your certified with. if your just basic ACDT ACPT and ACHDS certified probably in the 20$ neighborhood. If you have your ACTC and ACSA they will probably pull you off the counter and have you doing a real job

These days there is a big gap in levels of service provision among SEOP's. (SEO Professionals.) \n\nFrom self taught freelances such as yourself, to top SEO consultants, to web development firms, to independant web amrketing specialists - there are many providers outthere who see SEO as an optional upsell, and who hve vast differences in their level of understanding.\n\n(I bid on a project the other day for a client who had SEO done for $700 per month - for 7k, this was the msot cut-rate service Id ever seen)\n\nThat said, here's what I recommend: First, GET A SAMPLE PROPOSAL. Find one. Submit a fake RFQ. Visit other SEO sites... consultant sites, not random SEO firms.  A good one is bruceclay.com. See how people are talking about SEO.\n\nBecause if you bid, you're probly gonna get a client who has recieved one or two, and its important to sound educated from an SEO standpoint. (regardless of the results you're confident you can achieve)\n\nHourly rate is bad. Bad for you and the client, unless youre a top level consultant.\n\nJust starting out, I recommend charging per page for 'on-page' SEO, and then devise a "package" for 'off page' SEO -- such as link popularity, etc. ie: for x per month, you get X incoming links from x sources with x page rank.\n\nGet educated. See what others are doing researching. While everyone should have a chance to make a buck, it's irrisponsible to charge for a service if you are not a specialist just because its within an industry known for lacking a precice metrics system. \n\nGood Luck!

This type of assignment would also be handled by virtual assistants. VAs charge between $25 and $75 an hour, depending on the level of difficulty of the project (i.e. web design or marketing would be more whereas word processing would be less)and the experience of the VA. I would estimate how many interviews you are likely to give, the basic interview outline, research time, and copywrighting time involved. Do you have any guidelines regarding detail or length of report?

Hello.  They're still in beta and are looking to charge commission when they move out of beta. They say 15%, so I guess it won't be free for ever and yes, there is a catch!  I guess they have to pay for their technology and people somehow.  Good luck with your business though!
