Lori – You’re one of very few who say my rates are low (given that many writing SEO content consider anything over $25 or so great pay). For feature writing I charge significantly more (close to $1.00 per word in most cases – for things like ghostwritten content clients pitch to trade pubs). And copywriting, press releases, white papers, etc. are also priced differently. That rate is strictly for Web content writing in my specialty area of the business / marketing niches – nothing generally too research-intensive.

I have to agree with Devon’s post on the word “lazy” so close to the word “writer.” There’s no easy fix. Writing is hard work and requires staying power. I would venture to say that those looking for an easy way to freelance success will be disappointed. You have to figure out what works for you, but you have to understand that it’s going to be tough going until you find your way, and it’s going to require constant marketing and revisiting of your work process.

Freelancing is not “easy money.”

A full-time freelancer can’t be “lazy.” Not on ANY sense of the word, and either be taken seriously or survive.

There’s a way to work smarter, not harder, but that’s different than being “lazy.”

Yes, I read the article, and it doesn’t change my views on it.
