    Depends where you plan to get your clients from. If from offline businesses you can start with $300/month for local businesses and $2k+ for more nation wide kind of work.

    If you plan to sell at IM forums then divide it by factor 3.

      In addition to that... I also suggest to take look at the market itself to get an idea what everyone else is charging: Warriors For Hire

      BUT, regardless of what anyone else is charging, the bottom line is to make sure you're actually making a profit.

    Ridiculous question. If you have no clue, you have no clue.

    There is no answer. I can't imagine why anyone would guess
    what you should charge.

    Why does everybody and their brother think they can just
    start offering paid SEO services. Makes no sense.

      Honestly saying, I am not agree with you. Anyway, here I am giving one small example - If I want to open a garment store, definitely I should have to study about the market value, right? I mean, what other stores are taking for the cloths I am going to sale. He is asking a help since he doesn't have much idea about the market price. Obviously he can search the forum and find out it.

      So, same thing here as well.

      @Grettcs, I can understand why you are asking. Anyway, you can check out other people's service and what they are charging. Not only WF, check out some other forum too. Decide how much $ will be worth of your one hour and then charge based on that.

      Good luck!
