How to Price Your Services as a Freelance Writer
Use this quick guide to get started!
Freelance writing opportunities are on the rise as digital tools enable writers to work from afar and tap into client portals and meetings. The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent Great Resignation simply accelerated this desire for many.
As a freelance writer, you need to ensure that you’re charging enough for your services. Price your work too low and you’ll end up working for less than minimum wage. Price it too high and you may find yourself without clients, particularly when you are just starting out.
