Turn the work I already do for clients into one thing I can sell at a set price.

Start with work you've done by hand at least a few times. Your rough costs are enough to begin.

    Pick the job

    Score it on budget, how essential it is, and what you can check.

  2. 02

    Define one unit

    One finished result, plus a list of what's not included.

    Price it

    A floor from your costs, then a human tier on top.
