I am beginning my journey (slowly) into the realm of freelancing Instructional Design work. I have been in the ISD/ID word for a long time and in the training world in one way or another for nearly 30 years.
I have been offered a few opportunities in the past, but never took them, but recently I was asked to help with a few large projects. It started as consulting but quickly turned into them asking me if I could do the things I was talking about as far as Course Design and Development, publishing, etc.
I have looked at various ways of getting paid for my services, but was curious as to what the general consensus is.
I know this depends on the size of the project, so lets say a small simple project, it is better to get aid by the hour or by the project when delivered? (say it only takes 30 – 40 hours from start to finish)
For courses that cost the Active User to take, do you charge a percentage of the Course fee or an hourly rate?
For a normal sized project with varying levels if interactivity, I assume you chare more for more complex projects, but is is simply charging more hours, more per hour, or a combination of both?
