Thanks for the comment! Exchanging opinions is how we get better. I'm grateful that you took the time to write down your thoughts.
You're right about having to use what the client uses.There's always something you can streamline from an operation point of view. For example, I recently set up automatic reminder emails for overdue invoices. It's a small thing, but now I don't need to worry about manually sending and tracking the reminders.
I completely agree with you. Like I said, I don't have any experience with value pricing. The closest I've gotten to it was fixed bids. And that's essentially an hourly cost multiplied by the number of hours in a project. Maybe you need to find clients with bigger budgets and larger projects to successfully value price?
I'll skip to your questions!
I work freelance and remotely most of the time. However, I'm thinking of moving back into full time work. I've had moderate success with Upwork: upwork.com/. It can be hard to find good paying work with sites such as Upwork. I know someone who's made their entire career through the site. I generally rely on my network.

You're definitely right when you say that probably bigger clients with bigger budgets would entertain a negotiation on value pricing.
Thinking of moving back to full time is perfectly fine, good luck and take your time to find the perfect company fit!
Thanks for the pointer to Upwork, I'll definitely check it out.
