<h1>Flat Rates vs. Hourly Rates</h1><p>While your public profile displays an hourly rate to give clients a baseline, you are <strong>not</strong> forced to charge hourly when you send a proposal.</p><h2>Sending Proposals</h2><p>When a client requests you for a 4-hour event, you have two options when creating the proposal:</p><ul><li><strong>Hourly:</strong> Quote them your $100/hr rate, totaling $400.</li><li><strong>Flat Rate:</strong> Decide that for this specific event (e.g., a complex wedding requiring extra setup), you want to charge a flat fee of $1,000.</li></ul><p>DJfindr's proposal generator allows you to create custom line items, so you can structure your pricing however works best for the specific gig.</p>
