How to increase rate per word in freelance writing ?

 Writers struggle a lot to increase their rate per word in freelancing. Some work at as low as 50 paise per word while some charge Rs.8 RPW. This difference is due to the below mentioned factors:

How can you increase your rate to a remarkable extent that brings you in the creamy layer of freelance writers?

It's very simple but simple is boring. That's where your fight is.

Here are 3 basic steps to increase your freelancing pay.

1. Always follow deadline: 

When you respect client's time and follow deadline, this is trait of a trustworthy and highly professional freelancer. Your deadline does not merely show your sincerity but also makes the client depend on you in case of urgent works. 

Respect time and you will grow unconditionally. 

2. Ask questions when in doubt but try to limit chances of rework:

Too much revision/ rework brings client in doubt. Afterall their image is dependent on your performance. If client has to again and again point mistakes and ask for revision, this is a sign of an amateur writer.

3. Take small work even if it is as low as 300 words:

Do not wait for long and big projects, when you help the customers with small projects, they will return to you for bigger work. Do not be greedy, see the larger prospect of devoting your time for small projects.

These 3 steps I follow and I have never lacked work till date. Keep writing, keep learning. 

All the best!!
