How to Make Money Writing!
This is actually the formula I prefer to use. It’s simple, and based predominantly on an even simpler goal: how much money you want left in your pocket (profit) at the end of the year.
You’ll find that having a numbers goal is a motivationally helpful tool to boot.

Is it really fair to just have one hourly rate? After all, I would imagine that you’d be measurably more productive writing on a subject you’re an expect on as opposed to the very same hour spent struggling with something you know very little about.
Which is why some writers have adopted multiple billing rates.

According to my friend, Dana Cassell, who’s the editor and publisher of the Writers-Editors Network, the American Business Writers Association (ABWA) was a group of trade journal writers, formed before there was even an Internet, but it no longer exists. It did leave us with a really useful legacy, though… a highly useful formula to help us freelancers figure out what to charge.

Bartering is exchanging your services for your client’s goods or services. No money exchanges hands. And I’m not a big fan of the practice.
But it’s a good way to get your writing/copywriting business started. In particular, working these “arrangements” is an excellent way to start filling up your portfolio.

I don’t know why, but one question that seems to stress out a lot of newbie freelancers is how much to charge per hour for their work. One possible contributing factor is that there are so many different ways to work the numbers. In my book, that’s a good thing.
The Gross Earnings Formula is one way to do it — it’s simple, but often effective, particularly if you’re only freelancing on a part-time or periodic basis.

A good way to get a better handle on what to charge for projects (or which assignments to take on or which markets to pursue) is to track how much time it’s taking you to do various aspects of your work.
