ELearning, Training Development, LMS and Course Development Cost 2014...
Okay, Everyone listen up...
I've been doing eLearning and multimedia work since 1999. You should charge $45 to $95 per hour to develop eLearning. Got that! You don't need a calculator. If you charge less than $45 your are not a professional developer. To develop SCORM/TinCup quizzes, modules, WBT, CBT, online learning, job aids, etc... You should be charging at LEAST $45/hr. Period.
The range is $45 to $95 per hour to do eLearning, Multimedia, Course Development, Training Development, LMS development, LMS Administration, HTML5/Flash/iPad/Android training content development and technical writing work.
Everyone got that?
Stop undercharging for your work?!??! If you pay LESS than $45 to $95 per hour you are getting substandard work -- PERIOD.
PAY FOR GOOD WORK. Not hard. Smh.
If you need a PROFESSIONAL eLearning developer or LMS Administrator contact me, stop dealing with amateurs.
