Writing: The prices you charge
Wondering what you should charge for your writing? This question often comes up, both in the Write More class, and in the Copywriting Master Class.
If you're just starting out as a writer, base your fees on a comfortable hourly rate -- but add an extra 30 per cent. You add the additional to cover all the unseen costs, such as insurance, including your health insurance, computer update and repair, and so on.
Beware of charging rates for your writing which are too low. Please don't try to undercut other writers -- this never works, it just means that you both go broke. :-)
If you're not sure what to charge, and you're a current or graduate member of any of my writing classes, just send me a message, and we'll work out a rate sheet for you.
I've also covered how much to charge in a new guide, Devilish Writer -- it's opened the eyes of many writers. :-)
Happy writing!

Writing classes coming in 2008

I've had many questions about writing classes for special interests, so here's what's planned for 2008.
Early in the year I'll be offering a copywriting class and Web writing class. Later, look for a blogging class - one that's focused on blogging for promotion, as well as for money.
I hope you enjoy them. :-)
