Don\u2019t look to see how other journalists, copywriters, etc. price.<\/h3>\n<p>For good reason: you\u2019ll nix a few hours off your life combing the internet for comparable pricing. Truth? Most editorial stories have a set rate. Copywriting pricing tends to be client-dependent. A <em>better<\/em> bet? Find your number, and figure any opportunity into your hourly rate. &nbsp;A writer splits her time is split between drafting and marketing, which means querying and pitching for your next byline or communicating your services.<\/p>\n<p>Take your monthly cost of goods (which, us lucky-duck writers tend have a fairly low COG in comparison to other creatives), and add your desired monthly salary. Divide that by four weeks, then hours you\u2019ll be working billable.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if your COG and salary total is $6K a month, divide that by 4, then divide that by 20, assuming half of your 40 hour work week will be spent researching, marketing, and running admin tasks. Your hourly rate? A cool $75. Don\u2019t take less. Want a free tool to find this number for yourself? Click here to download.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Write a business plan. Have sales goals. Hit them.<\/h3>\n<p>The word \u201csales\u201d veers toward terrifying for most journalists; It strips the dignity right out of the sooth-saying artistry that attracts writers! But \u2026 have some sales goals. It can be as simple as knowing you need no less than eight clients a month to keep the lights on. Market to hit your goal, hit it, write well, rest well. Repeat.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Bank on freelance writing tools like Skyword.<\/h3>\n<p>Content marketing\u2019s soaring, and guess what: someone\u2019s gotta draft and swindle all that copywriting. Plenty of recruiters that want to match talented writers with bespoke copy crafting for big brands. Can I be honest? I cataloged glossy magazines under my bed my entire high-school career. We\u2019re talking spines flush and alphabetical order: I <em>crave<\/em> magazines. But consider joining a program like Skyword, where you get paid to draft non-editorial content for companies like MasterCard, New Balance, etc.). It\u2019s borderline passive income in that I only have to market my services once to the recruiting team!<\/p>\n<h3>4. Yes, you need a contract.<\/h3>\n<p>Or else you\u2019ll end up being asked to source imagery for a random item you referenced in an editorial story \u2026 long story. Brush up on <em>Six-Figure Freelancer<\/em> by Kelly-James Enger, the holy grail of freelance writing, for tips.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Bookkeeping software can work for you.<\/h3>\n<p>Create a template flow, and send clients through your software as often as possible: this keeps bookkeeping tighter than the loose check-flurry publications mail your way!<\/p>\n<h3>6. Consider the pricing implications of the word \u201cfreelancer.\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>As much as I love the phrase, I conjure romanticized visions of a Parisian cafe where AP French rolls off my tongue and I\u2019m elegantly rapping away on my sleek Macbook when I think of the words \u201cfreelance writer.\u201d It\u2019s magical. But personally, I shy away from the word freelancer. I have processes, file as an LLC, and actively seek client work. For me, commanding respect for my pricing, my studies, my years of industry experience, and numerous bylines is bolstered when I call myself a small business owner.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line? Charge what you\u2019re worth, but remember something I can\u2019t shake that Kristen Kaplan noted on Periscope one time: if you\u2019re going to charge BMW or Apple prices, give a BMW or Apple experience. I\u2019d study journalism all over again, but looking back, I\u2019d tell 20-year-old me to stay calm, steward your craft, and stay nimble: Turns out, if you\u2019ve got media industry training and a honed writer\u2019s voice, it shapes out that there\u2019s work to be done, and a buck to be made.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more and grow your business with HoneyBook&#8217;s all-in-one <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/crm-for-freelancers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crm for freelancers.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pricing for solopreneur writers &#8212; copywriters, marketing strategy writers, editorial journalists, and bloggers &#8212; isn\u2019t something that floods creative industry airwaves.
