How to raise your rate with a brand you already work with

How to raise your rate with a brand you already work with
Raising a rate with a returning client feels scary, but it's normal business. You do it with a plan, not an apology.

Follow four steps:
— Time it at a renewal or new campaign, never mid-project
— Lead with results ('Last post drove 4,000 visits.')
— State the new number simply ('My rate is now $700, up from $550.')
— Give a small reason and hold steady ('My audience has grown 30% since.')

Example: 'Loved working together. For the next round my rate is $700. Here's what the last campaign delivered.'

No over-explaining. Confidence and a result do the work.

Your move: track one strong metric from every deal. It's your evidence for the next raise.
