How to Charge for Your Web3 Freelance Work

Setting your rates as a Web3 freelancer can be challenging, but choosing the right method can make all the difference.

Should you charge by the project, by the hour, or by another metric? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

By the Project. Good for clear scopes but risky with scope creep.

By the Hour. Fair for time spent but needs tracking.

By Other Metrics. E.g., per word for writers, aligning payment with output.

👩🏻‍💻Calculate Your Rate
Add up your annual expenses.
Decide your desired salary.
Estimate billable hours.

Use the formula: (Annual Salary + Expenses) / Billable Hours

🧩Example
($20k + $10k) / 1,500 = $20/hr.

Negotiate and communicate clearly with clients to set the stage for efficient collaborations.

💸 Crypto Wages vs Fiat Wages
As freelancers, we often face hefty charges just to get paid securely online. Platforms like PayPal, QuickBooks, and Venmo can slap on fees up to 3.4% per transaction, cutting into your earnings.

😱With an annual income of $50,000, you'd lose $1,700 in fees!

Solution? Choose crypto. For instance, the cost of a USDT transaction on the Solana Network is currently $0.07–$0.11.

💸For 100 transactions a year, you'd spend only $7–$11.

On LaborX, you can get paid in ETH, DAI, USDT, and 53 other cryptocurrencies. Once your employer approves your result, a smart contract will release your payment automatically.

#Decentralized is the only way.

🦸‍♀️ How To Stand Out As A Web3 Freelancer
As a freelancer, you’re competing against all the other freelancers in your sector. Here are three ways you can stand out from the crowd.

Quality of work. If your portfolio shows you’re highly skilled in your area, whether that’s smart contract programming or community management, employers will naturally put you at the front of the line.

Price. If you offer the same service at a lower cost than other freelancers, businesses will take notice. Don’t undersell yourself, though!

Word of mouth. Ideally, once you’ve done a good job for one person, they will tell others. This is the best form of marketing available, so ask previous employers to recommend you!

💳 Instant Payments in Freelancing: Crypto vs. Traditional Methods
Freelancing is often a hustle. Given the uncertainty around getting paid, 84% of freelancers prefer instant payments, with nearly half willing to pay a fee for this convenience. This preference alleviates financial stress, helps keep up with bills, and avoids borrowing costs​.

Popular payment methods offer speed and security but come with high fees.

Crypto is emerging as a superior option, combining all the benefits of traditional methods without the hefty fees. Even non-Web3 companies are willing to embrace crypto payments​.

As demand for skilled freelancers grows, businesses that offer instant payment options, including crypto, are more likely to attract and retain top talent.

Looking for a job that pays in crypto? LaborX is at your service.
