#014: A day rate is what you charge to do a day's worth of work out in the field as a photographer. If you are getting started, you might have not even the vaguest idea what to charge. And if you're a pro, you might feel pressure to charge whatever it is that your peers or colleagues are charging in order to be competitive or in that same ballpark. Or you might feel like you have to accept whatever dairy is offered by your client in order to ensure that you land that assignment.
But the thing is, your day rate is a number that has to be founded in hard and fast facts if you want to run a profitable business. Your just-right day rate is a number you can calculate, then calibrate, once you understand your business needs, goals and industry expectations. In this episode, I walk you through what goes into calculating a day rate for a profitable conservation photography business.
And I have a very, very powerful tool for you to use to arrive at this all-important number.
