Learn The Strategies Needed To "2X Resume Writing Rates in Just 12 Weeks (or less)"
A common question we often get asked here at ResumeBIZ is, "How can I raise my rates so I get more dollars per resume project?"
You might be pondering this same question, especially if you're getting pushback from prospects at your current rate. So, how do you get from where you are now to where you want to be?
Before I answer that question, here are some quick stats so you better understand WHY raising your rates should be a priority.
First, the average resume writer makes around $40,000 annually. This is super low IMHO. This number is gross revenue, too, meaning overhead costs have yet to be deducted. This is not a living income. Making more top-line revenue to have a favorable bottom net is essential.
Second, on average, most resume writers write only two resumes weekly. Burnout is a major issue amongst writers - and although you could potentially write a dozen or more resumes per week, that isn't sustainable.
Third, as your skills grow, so should your rates. A good rule of thumb should be raising your rates every 2-4 years. Regardless of the chosen career field, a growing body of experience, value, confidence, and demand for services warrants higher rates. It's that simple.
There's a 4TH GREAT REASON for raising your rates:
Raising your rates enables you to spend more time with clients and less time on business development. Fewer clients. More profits. This is your primary goal as a resume business owner.
