Hi Jason,

I agree with you - success as a freelance writer has more to do with our confidence and marketing skills than our writing skills.

I started writing for eLearning companies about a year ago, and I have a personal policy to always bid more than I think I can get on a project. Often, I'm pleasantly surprised when the client says "okay!" (In fact, I usually kick myself whenever there's no need for negotiation because I know I could have asked for more.)

Great advice here. Thanks for walking us through how you get professional rates for your writing services.

Cheers!

Amy
