what do you offer??

Wow you are cutting yourself extremely short. I'd say you're well over $1,000 low on that package. $250 for just SEO alone is low forget all the other services.

You are lowering the value of these services by only charging $250 a month. You couldn't possibly make a living by only charging that amount for all those services because of the time it would take to deliver everything.

Even if you had 4 clients paying you $250 that's only $1,000 a month and you would so incredibly busy trying to manage everything. Normally I would say outsource those tasks to free up some of your time, but at that rate there's no way you could do that.

I'm not trying to sound harsh, but I think you need to re-do your pricing structure if you truly want to succeed in the offline world.

It really depends on what the client wants or needs. I will do an analysis of their online presence and their competitors and then give them the suggestions. We usually go from there and it's been an average of $2,500 and if they want me exclusively for them in their industry then it's around $1500/ month. That includes all my services.

I sell solutions to problems.

Solutions are my highest profit margin.

Depending on the business and their vertical. I have a tiered pricing model based on the vertical, company revenues and time commitment for my services. Works great!

I offer marketing and get them leads and clients. I do the work and get paid $100 a lead and $250 a client.

However, this is not and was not meant to be my primary business. I just started making my own lists and selling online from home. I was telling some friends. Someone approached me, I didn't really want to do outside work so priced it high thinking they would say "no" but they went for it. Then they tell others and there you go.

I have a variety of packages as well ranging from around $250 to $2000 a month. One thing I try to do is get to know the business and offer the best services I can for each one. Sure it's a bit more time consuming and might not be the most profitable thing for me to do (as most businesses have no idea what they need), but that's the way I like to do business.

Not everybody needs SEO and not everybody needs PPC, so I have several packages available for different business needs.

Sure this may change as my business grows, but as of right now that's how I've been running it.

I think $250 a month depends on how much he is doing. If it's like 2 to 3 hours of work sure why not. if he is putting real effort into it he is selling himself way short.

I don't care how you end up pricing you have to have a minimum hourly rate at least. Like I pointed out before in other threads I think for most in out industry that rate is about $100 to $200 per billable hour.

Nice work Zulfikar! I like the mixture between the classic look and the modern design it seems to have. I also feel that the colors are very happy and uplifting, I love those colors in my kitchen. I can honestly say that if I had this I would probably keep the bottle and use it for something else (depending on the size) after the olive oil was gone.

For $250 you're offering quite a lot in my opinion. For $250 I'd SEO one kw per month for them.

It's my experience with my local marketing service, and other home business that when you charge a smaller rate (in comparison to your competition), you're more likely to deal with a high maintenance client. Seems crazy, but I've had clients that paid $250 per month and others that have paid $5,000 per month and it NEVER fails that any issues I ever ever had with clients was from the lower budget clientele.

Obviously you have to start somewhere and develop some references. But my point is that once you develop a few good references start charging more for your services. Package them together for a "value" but makes sure you are charging a fair rate for your time and services but with bigger rates come bigger expectations. Make sure you can deliver results.
