Nice discussion HMCS, I have not heard it put into easily understood language. This lecture should be used by any self employed individual. Your right don’t sell yourself short. Thank you. LDO Steve
HMC then LT MSC. Had a chance to be an HMCS if I reverted. I didn''t. I don't disagree about it is good for anyone, just not sure how to package it for the non-genealogists and have it do any good.
I am a retired academic librarian with a Masters in Pastoral Counseling and a genealogical librarianship certification. While I was working, my genealogy help was part of my job (as was any research subject). Now, I would like to be an independent genealogist to add to my SS. This was very helpful to me and will be a shock to those who keep trying to get me to "help" them. ;)
This is really such a good video. Watching it for a second time. When other genealogist charge $10-$15 it makes me cringe ! They are uncharging and people won’t take them as serious
It also depends on what part of the country you live in. In a city I charge $75 but for people who can’t afford that I have a sliding scale for certain project

I know this feeling very well. My staff is always complaining that I give it away so now I have a way to do fee based consultation.

People do take them as serious. That is why they use them. But, sometimes, you get what you pay for.

It does depend on where you live and what the market can bear. I have something that I call the "family rate." We are all cousins after all.
