Important:Your hourly rate does not directly reflect how much you will charge clients.

This is merely an indicator of the price of your retainer to clients.

As you first start, choose an hourly rate between $10-$20: this will indicate that you are
affordable yet skilled.

Input your title and professional overview.

Read an example overview here:

I'm a Facebook and Google marketing expert, working exclusively with e-

commerce brands to quickly scale using cold and retargeting advertising.

I'm one of the few so-called experts in the industry who has spent millions of
dollars across Facebook and Google in the last few years - and has generated
astonishing results and returns for my clients in the process.

I don't offer social media management or content creation - so if you're

looking to get started or slowly build up your Instagram, have a look at some
of the other wonderful professionals that UpWork has to offer.

But if you're looking to capitalise on your existing brand with an existing

social media following, web presence and consistent traffic to your website: I
won't just be able to help, I'll be able to ensure your sales skyrocket.

Here's a quick overview of some of the clients we've worked with previously
and currently:

One of the original wearable tech brands with millions in revenue

A boutique swimwear brand based in London, UK
Germany's leading Design Sprint academy
Another London-based clothing and eyewear brand
An international bespoke jewellery brand
An innovative percussive sports massage device

I'm able to guarantee you incredible results - but will only do so if we're the
right fit for one another.

That's why I'm happy to offer a free consultation with myself to get a good
handle on your business, and if we can help you.
