Hello,
I work part-time, and have been offered a small amount of freelance work by an external contact (out with my paid employment). I need to check my contract first about doing extra work, but what's bothering me more is what on earth to charge? The project is small, one-off and I would tackle around 6 or 7 funding applications, including possibly to the Lottery.
I have childcare issues to think about and want to protect myself from getting involved in something that could take up more time than initially agreed. I guess I would have to draw up some kind of written contract basing my fee on an estimated outlay of time, with a contingency for extra hours?
I honestly have no idea how to tackle this and in fact the whole fee side of the proposal is making me feel so nervous - enough to make me want to decline which would be ridiculous and such a waste of an opportunity to earn some extra money.
Has anyone any similar experiences they can share? Is there a formula that 'consultants' use to work out fees? I am so clueless at all this, and feel really out of my comfort zone. I'm not even a consultant for gods sake, just someone who could help a local project raise funds if I had the guts to say yes and to be confident about setting a fee!
Thanks so much in advance.
