Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate the value of my time as a freelancer?+
Divide your desired annual income by billable hours per year (typically 1,200-1,500). That's your baseline hourly value. Then compare: if a task takes you 2 hours but a VA charges $25/hr ($50 total), and your time is worth $100/hr, you lose $150 doing it yourself.
What tasks should freelancers outsource?+
Outsource anything that: (1) costs less than your hourly rate, (2) you're not good at, (3) doesn't generate revenue, or (4) you hate doing. Common outsources: bookkeeping, admin, social media, design, editing, and customer service.
How many hours per week do freelancers spend on non-billable work?+
Most freelancers spend 15-20 hours per week on non-billable tasks: admin, marketing, invoicing, emails, and business development. That's 40-50% of your work week. Reducing this (through outsourcing, automation, or better systems) directly increases your effective hourly rate.
