Hey Pablo,

thank you for the kind feedback. I’m not that often on SEOmoz but I’m regularly on Inbound.org the new social niche community created by Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz and Dharmhesh Shah of Hubspot. Check it out as well.

Hi there onreact, came here thru the link you posted @seomoz :)

Just wanted to state I have to agree with your statement here: I’ve been freelancing since mid 2010 and fixing the pricing of my seo services has always been really a pain…

As you and others said, I’ve learnt some of those tips? musts? by the experience and it’s always hard to be objective about “Me & my services/value” VS “3rd seo services”, at least for me (both positive & negative facts).

Sooo…at this point now I was trying to figure out how to value my work, in a better way than now, which is just costs+taxes+margin/hour. I always knew it wasn’t even close to be perfect but didn’t find the key to do it better…and I find your post: pure inspiration.

see you at seomoz mate!

I just resigned from my work recently and starting now as a freelancer. Getting a freelance job is not that easy. There are only a few jobs posted that entertain newbies in this kind of field.

In my mind all freelancers are entrepreneurs, some to a greater degree than others. For me it is all about risk and being willing to take a chance, which is why I say that in my mind we are all entrepreneurs. We have all taken a risk to go freelance instead of going to work for someone else, even if that decision was somewhat forced onto us through redundancy. What makes someone stand out as an entrepreneur is the fact that they continue to take risks to develop themselves and their business, something that is easier said than done!

As far as I know freelancers are hired to help their boss and not to frustrate them with ass kicking reasons.

Entrepreneurship starts from knowing each details of business. You cannot achieve anything without giving further efforts for your goals.

Being a freelancer too I want to be the entrepreneur also, In fact I’ve been thinking of hiring people to do my job for me and profit with their work.

As a freelancer, I still meet the standards of my clients though for me I am the boss. Freelance is a great training for future entrepreneurs because of the need to maintain the standards that my customers had set.
