As a freelancer or consultant, there are many ways you can charge for your services and work with clients. Since starting my consulting business in 2016, I’ve continued to iterate my own model and how I work with clients.
Each change that I made over the last few years was made in an attempt to either 1) grow my income 2) deliver my service more efficiently, or 3) deliver more value to clients (ideally all three at once).
I hope new freelancers can use this post to get more ideas about how to charge for their services and slowly climb the value ladder. And if you want to learn more about how to run a consulting business, check out my How to become a virtual consultant program.

PMP #184: How my consulting model has changed over the years

Hi, I'm Paul. This is my podcast where I teach people about productivity, business and self-improvement. I'm completely obsessed with productivity, automation, optimising my time and income so I can live on my terms. I now earn a living as a “virtual consultant” and love sharing what I've learned about how to grow successful and productive businesses. Enjoy the show!

Welcome to episode number 300 of the Paul Minors Podcast! For this milestone episode, I asked my good friend, Dylan Bland, to interview me (similar to what we did for the 100th episode). In the first half, Dylan unpacks my history, how I got started with my business and how I view productivity. In the second half, we discuss a range of topics including productivity, technology, AI and the future of work.

Unpacking Paul Minors with Dylan Bland

If you’ve earned an income from your business, you could reinvest it to grow your earned income further. But why not invest it in an asset that’s going to generate a passive income or capital gain?

PMP #298: Do you have to invest in your business?

In this episode of Minor Updates, I share some of the things I've been focussing on in my business and personal life.

PMP# 297: Minor Updates: March 2024

When I sell to a prospect, I present a few options and I actually tell them which option to buy. N Nobody enjoys having to think about it. They just want to be told what to do based on their budget and situation.

PMP #296: Tell people what to buy

I’ve shared previously on this blog that my primary motivation right now (as it has been for years) is to make my business more efficient. Since reading Dan Martell’s book, Buy Back Your Time (affiliate link), I’ve shifted my mindset to focus more on teaching my team as much as I can in order to improve our overall efficiency.
