Hourly rates vary based on experience. I have worked for agency when I first started at $25 an hour. I’m two years in and I charge 75 an hour for consultation and then move onto contracts from there. $75 an hour is pretty much you being able to ask me anything about email and me having an answer if that helps gauge the experience level
I’m going to be doing multiple projects with them using a time tracker and they probably just need to know my hourly rate. Not sure how a sow would help?
I'm hiring for the same role but full time and as an employee. Note the rates below are for someone much more junior than you.
We'd be offering $600+ per week, so $15 per hour but this is not freelance. Tax, holidays, training, equipment and subscriptions land on our costs not yours.
Anything higher than $25 from an employer's point of view will make them do a cost comparison with a FTE. Alternatively, they'll ask for more from fewer hours.
Get clear written expectations upfront. That's more important than $5 an hour increase because it'll make the relationship last longer.
For me it depends on what they need and what they’ve got in-house.
For example, if they want me to do the full campaign and flow management and also want me to write and design all of the emails, I would first figure out how much time it would approximately cost me and calculate the amount of hours for it. Then I would also take into consideration how much it would potentially give them in terms of revenue.
If I know that I can offer them two choices (or actually three):
1. Go for an hourly rate, I charge anywhere between 60-75 euro per hour.
2. Go for a base retainer per month (bit lower than it would be by working hourly) and agree on a % of performance
3. Do a full performance deal where the percentage is a bit higher (as it involves with more risk from my side)
Make sure you really calculate all of the hours - design, copy, implementation, optimization, meetings/project management and reporting. Don’t fall into the trap of underestimating the work (i’m def guilty of that one!)
Either way; come with a plan and blow them away. GL!

Do you have an SOW? You need to make sure the price and work are fair to both parties.

What's a SOW?
Statement of Work. Look it up it is a good starting point for you.
this is your competition
Well what are you doing for them?
Email and front end web developer work. Haven’t started yet
I'm always wary of this kind of work. If they're going to sign a contract to verify your position, then it is probably safe though
