well....higher gas prices.....so the more I have to travel the more I have to charge. the more experience I have the more I am worth, so my price goes up a little every year.
I try to be really flexible and find out who I am really dealing with before I lock in a price. since they really are paying for my knowledge and talent and not an actual tangible thing, I can vary my price accordingly. I wouldnt charge Molly Smith the same rate as I would charge Exxon. and I think that's key right now...find out who you are dealing with. Wouldnt you rather work when there is work and work for a little less than you like, than NOT work at all?
