Thank you for sharing your tips. I know one of my biggest questions was what to ask for when I wanted to hang my freelance writer shingle. I like the idea of starting out with discounted rates and then moving on from there.

I didn’t realize there was some disdain for Yakezie – oh well, it looks like it could be a helpful resource in some cases. Cheers!

Straightforward and sensible post! I particularly like the “Hire Me” widget advice and I definitely agree on approaching people and using the resources available to you. These are really helpful tips.

SEems to me like the takehome message here is: Don’t Be Afraid. Just like you said, you gotta put yourself out there, you gotta approach people, you gotta talk to other bloggers, you gotta get a “Hire Me” page. you basically gotta not be afraid and just put yourself out there!

If you have no experience in something, you shouldn’t be going and trying to charge above market rate.

Thanks for sharing these tips. I’ve been so caught up in reading other blogs, sharing, networking, etc that I completely forgot to add a “hire me” button to my page. Adding that one to the “to do” list.

For me, it’s the fact that I have free time now, but I won’t when I work, so I don’t like committing to big things and building a side business when I won’t be able to deliver a certain level of service.

Otherwise, I’d do this in a heartbeat.

Daisy, this is so great. Thanks for breaking it down. Utility is something that’s been lacking in posts along this theme, and I have a feeling this is going to help soooo many people…myself included hopefully!
