Okay, so let’s consider Nicole’s skills. Public speaking and leadership are valuable, but not typically high-paying skills. Customer service is a bit more common in the industry, but still not super high. Microsoft Office tools are a given, but not particularly high-paying either. Adobe Premiere Pro is a nice bonus, but not extremely rare. Considering the skills she has, I’m estimating a relatively low hourly rate, likely in the range of $50-$100 per hour, which brings me to an estimated rate of $75. This rate is somewhat comparable to what you might find for a customer service representative or an administrative assistant with similar skills.
