Start by doing an inventory of your skills and experience. What are you good at? What do you love to do? Then determine how to work your passions into a lucrative consulting career.
If you’re interested in earning money as a consultant, you may want to make it your full-time career or you may simply want to consult as a side job. Either way, it’s important to focus on how to earn money as a consultant. No matter how much you love your work, work is work.
Many consultants choose to earn money on a per-project basis rather than an hourly rate. From the outset you must be paid fairly–and perhaps even generously.
Setting the appropriate consulting fee rates is integral to being a successful consultant. Being a consultant involves a lot of perks, but it also involves hard work and risk. Your hourly wage should and can reflect this. In fact, the average consulting fee ranges from thirty to hundreds of dollars an hour.
