Default Custom PowerPoint Presentation
Hello All
I am trying to get an idea as to what to charge for doing a custom presentation with all the animation and such. Can you guys just give me some feed back as to what you charge if you offer this service. Thanks

Karrie

I bill hourly - that way, no matter how many changes they make I don't lose money

I agree with Lily, Karrie. It's best to charge by the hour--custom or non-custom presentation. You'll still continue to earn if you charge by the hour!

I concur with the others, in this case go by the hour, it has been my experience that the changes will come fast and furious as you get closer to deadline. You may come to a point where you hand it off to the client, but if they call you again for tweaking or to make another, it's back to the hourly rate. Don't forget to let your client know that you can accomplish more in an hour because of no interruptions and your focus is only on the client's project. But that's the beauty of using a VA.

I would also bill hourly this way you won't lose on any changes or updates.
