Hello,
I was offered to design a blog and update it about twice a week. Most of my freelance projects have been one-time fee-based. This is probably going to be one year contract.
If anyone could give me some pointers on how to charge for maintaining a blog, I would really appreciate it. Thank you! -

My suggestion would be to charge a one-time fee for the design and initial set up of the blog, then get the client on a monthly maintenance contract for a specific number of hours/month for a specific price.Thankful People: donnafoo -

And, if you decide to go for a set amount of time each month, make sure you keep track of it and have a way to keep the client informed about it as well. This will ensure that they aren't surprised should you need to bill them for additional time. -

Thanks, guys.
They said it'll take around 10-20 hrs per week in an already made blog. It's kind of tricky to come up with a fixed fee plan, not knowing how much it'll actually take, especially because I don't have much experience blogging. Thanks for your tips! -
