Questions about providing services

[Orson]

Hi everyone! I am pretty new to Sythe and am excited to be here! I am a full-time software engineer and I love working on little side projects outside of work. Recently, I have been casually developing some Discord bots for my friend's servers. I realized that I could probably make a little side hustle from this, but I have no clue where to start.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me get answers to the below questions!

1. How can I determine the pricing for my Discord bot services? I have zero clue what to charge people. Do developers on here usually charge hourly rates?
2. What would be the appropriate channel to post about my services?
3. What are some useful things to include in my post ^?
4. For Discord bot hosting purposes, it is generally the customer's responsibility to figure out their hosting needs?

Thank you in advance for your help! If I think of more questions, I'll post in here.

Welcome!

1. This would be something that you'd need to set. Look around at pricing. Figure out what you'd want to do work for & go from there.
2. Software Services
3. Your discord name & UID would be beneficial or some way to get in touch with you along with what you are offering. I'd encourage you to get some ideas from threads (don't copy obviously, but it could spark ideas)
4. Can be either or - on the customer or with you, depends on how you want to run the business.
