Freelance Writing Jobs – Your “Get More Gigs” Tip of the Day
Post your rates online. If you have a professional site, include your rates along with your services. Not only will you weed out inquiries from people who can’t afford you anyway, but you’ll save prospective clients time. Remember, every time you respond and send a quote you’re wasting time that could be put into billable hours or other marketing efforts, especially if your rates are somewhat standard. Don’t waste time sending the same info to several people. Worried you’ll lose flexibility? You won’t! Just post a rate range or average instead (and make that clear on the site). If you want people to hire you, you have to give them the information they need to make that decision between you and the competition.

Jenn,
Great tip today. My rates are pretty standard now, so I’ve posted my per-page rate. It *scares* away some people but mostly I find that, because I explain my rates, it helps my clientele see just why those rates are there: VALUE.
Also, I applied to the green blogger gig. We’ll see, eh?
Good writing and good business,
- Jessie
