Hello Everyone,

I'm new here and I need some advice about freelance rates. I am trying
to get back into the freelance speaker support business using
PowerPoint, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. (I had a speaker
support business in Chicago for 6 years, left work to adopt 2 kids,
and now I need to work again). Can anyone tell me what is the going
rate for basic slide presentations? As I recall, most of my clients
didn't care to pay for custom backgrounds. I'm assuming this is still
the case?

Thanks
cjsmom

cjsmon,

A lot's changed in 6 years (with the internet n'all)
A pretty good guide to the going rate is
