Pricing Your Services as a Freelance Writer (Earning What You’re Worth)

Ok, you know me. I don’t offer endorsements or sales pitches unless it’s a product or service I believe in. Here’s something I feel is in the best interests of many of the freelance writers who visit FWJ.

Every week I receive anywhere from two to over a dozen emails asking questions regarding pricing. It can be a confusing thing to figure out.Should you charge an hourly rate or a flat fee? What is your time worth? Why do so many people pay so little?

Michael Stelzner and best selling author Steven Slaunwhite are offering a teleclass: Pricing Your Services as a Freelance writer (Earning What You’re Worth).

By attending this teleclass, you’ll get answers to these important questions:

  • How do I know if I am undercharging for my writing?
  • What are the "must know" facts to accurately price a project?
  • Does it ever make sense to "lowball" a project to win the business?
  • What are common prospect "red flags" and how do I politely reject a job?
  • Which is better: charging a flat fee or by the hour?
  • What are the top pricing mistakes that can kill a deal?
  • What is a "customized fee schedule" and why should I use one?
  • What are some tactics that will help me close a sale?
  • What is the best way to convey my value to a prospect?
  • When should I dump a client?
  • How should I respond when the client says, "Your price is too high"?
  • How can I ensure I am getting the highest fee possible for my work?

This teleclass is a radio talk show type event where listeners can call in and interact. This one is sure to sell out, it’s only $40 which is quite reasonable, in my opinion. Click here to learn more about
