$9 each will be good offer. Just try to make the prices so friendly.

For some of the smaller things you WILL have competition with rep high fiverr's. Obviously charging $5 for the same thing. That's that.

For the website, you can be charging more. Half or 3/4 the price of what competing COMPANIES are charging.

Good luck!

$5,000 for the whole and don't bother explaining the whole package.

Tell them you're the best and you are giving them a discount at this level.

If you go low, your credibility is out the window and they will NOT take you seriously.

If they drive a nice car, ask them why they drive that more expensive car? Because it's better and so are you. They're buying a Porsche 911 turbo here not a Ford Festiva.

I think 5000$ is great not 9$...but explain the value of what they are getting. if you need help. let me know gettingsocial.ca

I'll definitely won't go for less than 1K and I'll give them everything into one package. One of the best and the real person you can ask opinion is Albert Hallado who is a small business consultant and he is offering something similiar services to his offline clients. If possible, try to ask for his help and I'm sure he can help you because he is the one who helped me in this :-) You can reach him via his website Alberthallado.com. Hope this info will help you...

There are so many good points in this thread and I really want to thank everyone for taking the time to leave advice!

I'm a bit nervous because the Business Owner was referred to me via an acquaintance and this is the first time I've undertaken paid SEO work in this way. Usually I just SEO my own sites.

Already I'm sensing the potential client is difficult and doesn't seem to want to part with his cash so this might be a turkey; but pricing fairly high should tell me which way its going to go.

Thank you!

Are you in a bind and desperate for the money? If not I would price on the high side.

Tell him you are busy doing SEO on your own sites (thus implying you know what you're doing) and here's the price if he's interested give you a call. Then walk away and don't follow up.

It sounds like he may be a difficult client so I would make him jump through a few hoops to hire you.

Do some math:

Your hour rate VERSUS x amount of working hours PLUS taxes PLUS formation PLUS software.

Then you have your final prices.

Your average B&M company doesn't have a clue that Fiverr even exists much less engaging someone to do something for them.

In fact, your average small to midsize B&M company doesn't know what they need, when they need it, or what it will do for them.

Your value is not so much in the tactic as it is in the overall strategy. You do have a strategy for business, right, not just a "choose one from column A and two from column B" services menu?

"Do you want any SEO today, Mr Small Business Prospect?"

"What the hell is SEO?"

How much have you guys charged just to rank a business on page 1 or top 5 ranks in Google Places?

I don't think you should charge over 2k. I mean everyone is right about the credibility and all but first you need to get yourself out there and build a network for these services.

it really depends on your experience, location and competition. its good to start low though and then work your way up

Its right that you should'nt bid something that is too low just to win this project. You might later on regret for bidding too low and also lose the opportunity of increasing your hourly rate at a later point of time.

Also considering the fact that there are plenty of online services just like yours who are ready to do this kind of work, bidding anything more than 1.5 to 2K might keep you out of the list. Good luck with it

I am not sure that you will be stuck with the rate that you start out with for life. I've personally experienced an (admittedly slow/steady) increase in my per-hour worth.

Having said that, I would do just the website component of what you are offering for $350-upwards, and these were my rates fairly early in my career. Of course, I don't think every item on your list can be valued equally - some more, some less. Depending on how much you do on the website, it could be priced at a lot more than $350 or even $500.

My off-hand estimate for your entire deal would also fall somewhere between 2K to 3K, and I would imagine that you can charge more than that once you have built your own image/portfolio a little more

You could print out a little sheet which has a tabular indication of what each service is worth (don't be conservative here), and a sum-total, and a comparison to show that your overall package price is a really good deal. For example, it's a fact that Deep Linker Pro is $67, and you can list it as such if you like.

IMO, building a website, writing copy, and doing the video are the most valuable things you are offering, and the others are sweet bonuses. For a rough "high level" estimate of the cost, add up what you would charge for these three, and add a flat rate on top of it for the rest - and you will probably end up somewhere around the 2K mark.

Good luck!

If you have deeply knowledge with experience in seo field then definitely you can start business but i hope you have to fight in this field because
