Advice Needed Today: Client wants to retain me for 90 days!
I have a client that wants to retain me for 90 days. This is SUPER good news, since revenue is down.
Originally, he wanted to hire me to revamp his website. He's very SEO savvy and has done all his own SEO and ranks really well for his keywords, as well as the fact that he's making some great money selling his product to home owners online.
I provided him with 3 package options. Each of those options would have been done in 8 weeks per my standard project management flow for any large website. (His site has over 100 pages with video, illustrations, and ecommerce.)
The third option included some desktop video production and other content creation, as well as 3 additional landing pages. I quoted him $21,640 for this option which would be completed in 8 weeks.
He's asking for 12 weeks of my attention (40hrs per week) to do all of this and then some. He wants me to start researching the profitable rabbit trails and create new micro sites that all lead to him.
In essence, he wants the third option plus some additional offline marketing work.
The advice I'm looking for is about pricing.
Right now, my plan is to ask for $32,460 for the entire 12 weeks to be paid out weekly or bi-weekly.
Here's how I came up with this number: 3rd option: $21,640 for 8 weeks of work = $2,705 per week.
He needs me for 12 weeks: 12 x $2,705 = $32,460
Am I going about this the correct way? I don't want to over price myself and at the same time I don't want to under price myself.
Also, I realize this is only a 90 day gig, but I don't want this client to think he owns me, leaving me in a place where I can't work with other clients.
I really don't want to screw this up, since this client would be my biggest account, ever.
