My direct clients pay the rates I set, so I am definitely satisfied with what they pay. More importantly, they seem to be satisfied with what I charge since they keep coming back.

Also, the few agencies I work with pay very well so I'm quite happy with their rates. They also provide timely assistance should questions arise, good feedback and final versions after their in-house editing so I have the best possible set of resources for future projects.

If they weren't prepared to pay my specified rate, I wouldn't be working for them in the first place.

We decide the rates should be the motto! Jan 16, 2015

This is the wrong questions. Correct would have been "Are you satisfied with the rates you charge"?

Please remember: we set the rates, not our customers.


We are all gearing up to the level when we would be able to decide the rates
It comes with experience and believing in oneself, and of course, a bit of luck.
