The post I wrote today over at BloggingTips.com, my regular Wednesday blogging gig, was inspired by yesterday's post here.
Blogging for Pay: How to Know When/If You Should Lower Your Rates
The topic is blogging rates. In yesterday's post, I answered a question an SEO article writer sent me regarding clients who wanted her to lower her rates. That post was entitled How to Respond to Clients Who Want You to Change Your Rates for Steady Work.
On the heels of that, one of my recently acquired clients that I write blog posts for requsted a lower rate on an ongoing blog posting gig. So, I thought it was a good time to share the guidelines I follow when trying to determine if /when I should lower my blog posting rates. Read this post at BloggingTips.com: Blog Posting Rates: 6 Things to Consider Before Lowering Your Rate.

Freelance Writing Job Leads from Helium.com's Marketplace
Note about Writing for Helium: I signed up here a few months ago. I submitted two articles just to get some search engine juice. They don't pay for articles up front like AssociatedContent.com, EXCEPT the Marketplace (you have to sign up to be eligible for these assignments).
What is Helium's Marketplace? The Marketplace is where publishers list assignments they need and writers submit them. The best one from among the bunch is chosen. I haven't take on one of these assignments, but have done some research and many freelance writers have found great success here. The pay from some is very good, usually from a low of $10 on up to $200 bucks! Not bad, IF your article is chosen. It's just another freelance writing outlet you might want to try, especially if you're just starting out. Learn about Helium's Marketplace here.
