Rates are a hot topic among freelance writers. Have you ever wondered what other writers earn? I created the FWJ rates survey. It asks questions about the different types of clients and how much writers earn from each type of client or website. If you ever wondered how much each pay for each individual genre or content site averages out to, I hope you’ll participate in the survey. I’ll be happy to post the results for all to see and ponder. Perhaps it will help you to make a decision about writing for a particular site or client.

Thanks for this. I’ll especially look forward to finding out about average annual salaries. I think that’s the figure that’s most telling for me.
forgive me if I’m missing something, but I can’t find the survey, just a chikita link!
grr nevermind…lol.
Deb, for some of the questions, it would be nice to have the option of choosing more than one answer. For example, I(and I’m sure many others) write for the web, as well as for private clients and businesses. Similarly, for these clients, I write web copy, blog posts, press releases and other material…so it’s hard to pick just one answer. I think the survey is a great idea and will help everyone here learn a little bit about where they stand, how much they could be charging and what kind of opportunities are out there. Thanks, as always.
How soon will you be posting the results for us to see and ponder?
Hi,
Thanks for asking how much i earn? I get between $4 to $6 from Associated Contents. Between 20 to 40 dollars from Guru.com as and when i get job.
But i find most of the views are avoiding the question.Why?
Have agood Day!
Cheers

I just signed a contract with an online magazine. I’ll make 50 dollars a week, for each 500+ word article I provide. So I guess I make 10 cents a word.
thanks! great poll. It is really hard to determine with so many determing factors. Anyway, for those are seriuosly want to compare their salary I recommend this salary comparison tool. Hope it helps.
Thanks for the effort you took to expand upon this post so thoroughly.
Your post is nice, I learned a lot of information from this post. I think oDesk is the best place for freelance job. Because it is a payment guaranteed site and hourly jobs available. If you want to learn & discuss more about oDesk visit oDesk.com or http://blsoftmarketing.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=13
Thanks Guys.
Where are the survey results?
In the writing world is there a possibility for a writer to do a
project for future funding when book is published? We lost our young son and you can learn about him on subject website.
A successful Art program has been initiated in his memory and honor. I would like the book to tell my sons detailed life and tell
about the successful Art program in his honor. If this cannot be done as requested, could a approximate cost be outlined for
future planning?
Good job posting those results… eh.
