Hi Sarah,

Sorry for the lack of response - I somehow missed your email.

I charge for my time, so I usually explain my rates to clients (hourly and
daily) so they can begin mentally estimating how much I might charge.

After itemising what a client wants from me, I estimate how much time each
element will take.

E.g:

Facebook: 3 hours per week
Twitter: 2 hours per week
Blog posts: 1 day per month

That way the client can see precisely where your time goes, and everything
is priced by time, not words. (I never, ever price by words because some
words take an awfully long time to write!)

Hope that helps,

Leif
