How to set your freelance rates
A rate is simply the dollar amount that you assign to your freelance work.
There are so many methods to set your rates out there on the internet. But today, I’m going to teach you the way that instills the most confidence among the freelancers that I’ve coached.
Setting your rates can be the scariest part of getting started as a freelance writer for some people. Unlike most jobs, you’re not just told what your salary will be. No one’s around to tell you if you did it right – well, except me! That’s why you’re here, right?
On top of all that, a lot of us have money mindset issues that mess with how we set our rates. I talk a lot more about money mindset on my podcast, The Guidebook, so go check that out, too: https://meltzerseltzer.com/the-guidebook-podcast
Freelance writing rates are complex and highly individual. You might be noticing a theme in this course haha. Freelance writing can take so many shapes and forms, Everyone’s business and journey are going to look different.
