Re: To bill or not to bill!!
I fully agree with the previous posts. Do not charge for time when you are learning a new skill, only charge for the time actually spend applying this skill.
Also if it took you twice as long to complete the clients project because you were still uncertain with your new skill, I would reduce the number of hours billed to that client. Example: If a VA with this skill could have completed the project in one hour, but because of your learning curve it took you three or four hours to complete the project, I would only bill the client for part of the time (maybe 1.5 to 2 hours).
Good luck learning your new skill(s),
Julie
