The Rant on Freelance Writing Rates Heats Up

I don't post on Fridays very often, but thought this too interesting a discussion not to pass on.

I joined a freelance writing forum the other day -- Anne Wayman's forum over at AboutFreelanceWriting.com.

My e-report, How to Make $100/Day as a Freelance Writer, sparked a discussion about pay. One freelancer thought this was way too low -- that freelancers would be selling themselves short. Another saw my point, but chimed in that she smiled because she regularly charged that - per hour.

You have to join Anne's forum to read the entire discussion, but, freelance writer Lori Widmer gives a great overall rundown of the discussion on her blog.

Enjoy, and let us know your thoughts.

Have a great weekend everybody.
