I recently opened shop and started offering web design services. I'm sad to say, my first few client experiences have not been great. Although, I have managed to satisfy all my clients' requirements so far, the compensation I generally receive is not at all worth the amount of work I put in. What usually happens is that the client asks me for numerous changes to the design, and I end up doing additional work for no reward. I'm fine with making small tweaks at no extra cost, but when something that should have taken 3 days becomes a month-long project (this has actually happened), it's very irritating.
I like setting my prices based on the value provided to the customer, so I generally charge a fixed rate instead of hourly. But this has came back to bite me several times, and I'm considering charging by the hour from now on.
As a freelancer who wants to make web design his primary source of income, what can I do to ensure that I will receive fair compensation for the work I do?
