Just realized that I’d never posted Episode #3 of Freelance Follies to this site, only to YouTube. So, enjoy “How much is it going to cost?”, in which our freelance writer protagonist encounters a website content client who’s just a wee bit focused on the bottom line.
COMING SOON! New episode coming later today or early tomorrow, as I patiently wait for Xtranormal to render the piece into HD.
Freelance Follies Episode #4: “Can you just wordsmith it a bit?” Because, as our intrepid freelancer finds out…sometimes, “wordsmith” is client-speak for “don’t touch a thing.”

We’ve all been there: A former co-worker, a friend, or (in my case) a father-in-law who’s absolutely perplexed that you could make a living (GASP!) by being a self-employed writer, editor, graphic designer or other type of creative. “When are you going to get a real job?” is among Urban Muse Susan Johnston’s “10 things you should never ask a freelance writer,” and you can try to explain your reasoning…but probably best to laugh and enjoy our little secret about the benefits of freelance jobs.
Dr. Freelance’s key points on how to price freelance writing for social media:
Creating a Facebook Fan page or Tweeting for clients isn’t rocket science, but it remains an unknown quantity in many respects.
You need to consider shelf life and return on investment for your client when you price freelance writing for social media.
A not-to-exceed estimate can reassure a wary client.
