With experience comes self confidence. Always ask for what you feel that you rightfully deserve.</description><pubDate>Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:43:22 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>i-skillz</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: About rate</title><link>http://www.directfreelance.com//Forum/Topic44-7-1.aspx</link><description>Writer's Market does serious research about rates for each of their annual compendiums. The most recent data, culled from all kinds of clients in the real world of professional writing, list a number of rates, depending on what the writing is for. Content gets you the least, ad copy gets you the most. Content on the low side is around .35 cents per word. Ad copy on the low side is around 1.63 a word. Personally, I hate charging per word since I have to count them then recount them then prove that's how many there are. Big pain. I charge per page.</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:28:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>cgarlington</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: About rate</title><link>http://www.directfreelance.com//Forum/Topic44-7-1.aspx</link><description>you should definitely rate per word $.50.</description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:01:31 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>npc2007</dc:creator></item><item><title>About rate</title><link>http://www.directfreelance.com//Forum/Topic44-7-1.aspx</link><description>I'd like to know how much I should rate per word, or article.
