Last week we talked about where your freelance rates should be. Hopefully it has you thinking about how to raise your rates with freelance clients. Perhaps too you’ve been thinking about what you bring to the table. What are those things you do that keep clients coming back? Those things, my friend, are valuable. They…

Guest Post: Writer’s Worth & Success
About a year ago, Paula Hendrickson promised to write a guest post for me. Like the rest of us busy writers, her work got in the way. Then we both forgot. Then she’d remember, but something else would crop up. Then the idea just wouldn’t appear. This week, Paula had some time. And an idea….
Guest Post: When Clients Try to Set Your Freelance Writing Worth
I love Mika Doyle. Mika is one of those beginning freelance writers who is carving out a career, but doing it the right way. I’ve watched her from the sidelines as she’s built her freelance foundation, and it’s exciting to watch. Mind you, she’s gone through the same tough cycles and struggles like we all…

Writers Worth: Getting More Client Respect
It’s been a nice, calm week. After going full steam for about four months, there’s been a break in the action. I managed to finish all but one project on my desk, and I’m waiting for a few more to arrive. What did I do with the time? Cleaned the desk, filed papers, figured more…
Writers Worth: Fear and Your Worth
I get by with a little help from my friends. — John Lennon and Paul McCartney The end of the month. This month. Writers Worth Month. This has been a surprisingly impactful event this year. It started with me coming up with a post idea for one person to write about fear. Then it hit…
Writers Worth: Forward Together, Fearlessly
It’s Paula Hendrickson’s fault. No really, it is. Paula is the reason we have a month-long Writers Worth event. Paula is the reason I have enlisted guest posters for content. She’s the reason we now have Twitter chats. She’s the reason Writers Worth has become such a large part of my life, and hopefully of…
Writers Worth: Your Freelance Competition
Confession Time: I worked a little yesterday. Yea, I know. Yesterday was the post about taking time away. I have a good excuse: I took off early on Friday. And I’d forgotten to schedule this week’s posts. So at 6:45 am on a holiday, I was here making sure this post would be waiting for…
Writers Worth: Coming Out of the Shadows
This post is proof that Emily Montgomery knows how to conquer fear. I’d read a post on Devon Ellington’s Biblio Paradise last week. A great post. Emily’s post (her first, it seems). I sent a quick email to Devon — would Emily contribute here? The next day, Emily’s first email to me came in. In…
