Freelancing Tip

How much should you charge as a freelance writer? You won’t like to hear this, but it depends. When you’re thinking about this question, do a little research into how much people in your niche charge — rates vary a lot based on the kind of writing you do. Then, take a hard long look at your own position. Do you have a lot of clients who are always referring you to even more people? That’s a clear sign to raise your prices. Money isn’t talked about enough in the freelance world — be smart, loud, proud, and informed.

Stay creative,

Saul & Susanna ;)
