In episode 41 of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, copywriter James Chartrand discusses freelance copywriting salary.
James starts by saying that, unfortunately, there is no one definitive answer to the question of how much a freelance copywriter should earn. However, he provides some general guidelines and tips on how to negotiate a fair salary.
First, James recommends that copywriters research what similar services are being offered by other freelancers in their area. This will give you a good idea of what to charge.
Next, he advises setting your rates high enough to cover your costs and make a profit. Remember, you are running a business, so your rates should reflect that.
Finally, James recommends being willing to negotiate with potential clients. If they can’t afford your rates, see if you can work out a payment plan or offer a discount for a longer-term contract.
In the end, it’s important to remember that you are worth what you charge. So don’t be afraid to ask for what you’re worth.
