Negotiate Your Rate (Without Making These 3 Mistakes)

Negotiate Your Rate (Without Making These 3 Mistakes)

Hey! Glad you could make it.

I’m just talking to a hot potential client. Bear with me and listen in for a moment…

ME: Yep, I’m available from the first of the month.

CLIENT: Great, and how much do you charge?

ME: For this project it’ll be $700 a week… Or, you know, I could probably make it $600…

Go ahead. Tap me on the shoulder. Tell me I’m an idiot. Stop me.

I wish somebody had.

That conversation actually happened last summer, and my pathetic negotiation fail cost me $100 per week for 3 months. That’s more than $1200, and I gave it up for no reason at all.

What went wrong?

Here’s how you can avoid falling into the errors I made that day:

The Jedi’s Guide to Conquering Your Freelance Blogging Fears

The Jedi’s Guide to Conquering Your Freelance Blogging Fears

You know those moments when you feel too paralyzed to press the Send button, or where you think “I actually suck at this”?

That’s your fear breaking out, and it sucks. I know my many fears surface on occasion, but guess what?  Star Wars taught me how to beat them.

For thousands of years before the Star Wars trilogies, the Jedi fought the Sith, a terrifying force who built an empire relying solely on their powers from the Dark Side. Because of their dangerous legend, Yoda is careful to warn young Anakin Skywalker (later known as Darth Vader) in Episode I that the origin of the Dark Side is fear.

Just as the Jedi had to deal with the Sith for thousands of years, freelance bloggers have to deal with their own Dark Sides on a daily basis (which, on a bad day, can feel like a thousand years).

We always have some sort of mental or physical fear we need to overcome. Let’s look at the top three fears that most freelance bloggers have, and how to battle them with the dedication of a Jedi.

Accounting and Taxes: A Freelance Blogger’s Cheat Sheet

So you decided to become a freelance blogger.

You know your topic and you’re well versed in WordPress. You think you’re all set.

However, as you’re filling out your personal tax forms –it’s that time of year!– you think “Oh wow, I’m going to have to keep track of the money coming in and out and fill out tax forms for this business!”

So you scrap the idea and curl up in a ball on the floor sucking your thumb, convinced that the world is against you and that you’ll never be your own boss if the thought of accounting and taxes scares the Dickens out of you…

Umm, it doesn’t need to be like that. Let me walk you through an easy way to track your finances and prepare for your tax forms.

One-to-One Freelance Blogger Mentoring

One-to-One Freelance Blogger Mentoring

I’ll Help You Earn More from Freelance Blogging

(All you need is a brain and an internet connection.)

Live-One-to-One-Mentoring for Freelance Bloggers
Talk to Me!

So you want to learn how to make REAL money as a freelance blogger.

You’re a clever, creative type and you’re not work-shy, but you need some help to get those much-desired profits rolling in!

Here’s the deal when you work with me:

I’ll be the “expert in your pocket” to guide you, support you, and answer all your questions.

But we’re going to do much more than answer a few questions, you and I. We’re going to break down your obstacles and build up the freelance blogging career you want. Whether your goal is world domination or just a reliable part-time income, I’ll help you get there.

Sound good? Reserve some time with me or keep reading for more info.

You need to know YOUR path to freelance blogging success.

Your freelance blogging career is not like anybody else’s; it’s unique to you, your dreams and your concerns.

While we talk, we’re going to figure out exactly what will make you happy in your blogging business, and why you don’t already have that happiness. Then we’ll work out the steps to make it happen.

I’ll explain everything in detail so you feel confident you know what to do and how to do it. When it’s time to take a step forward, I’ll hold your hand or kick your ass to get you moving. Whichever works better.

I had a lot of great ideas — too many! — and Sophie helped me narrow things down. Then she sent me a job listing, which ended up turning into my first ongoing blogging gig! — a huge accomplishment, not to mention a nice bit of stable income. I’m so happy with the direction my business is going and how it’s growing, and I owe a lot of that to Sophie’s encouragement and ideas. She gave me the burst of confidence and energy I needed, right when I needed it.

You need someone in your corner. I’m there.

No matter where you are right now with freelance blogging, the next steps are easier when you know someone’s got your back.

I’ll fight for you to build the career you deserve. And I’ll share every useful tip and tool I know. So set aside a chunk of time for you and me to get together: we’ll walk through where you are now in your freelance blogging career, and exactly what you need to do to get to where you want to be.

We can look at your blog, your portfolio, your marketing, your rates, whatever you need most. It’s your time to ask all those important questions, and get answers that are designed to help you with your individual situation.

Ask whatever you like. Ask me to explain anything about how to win at freelance blogging.

If you’re not sure *what* to ask, don’t worry. We’ll figure out the right questions together before we start working on the answers. 🙂

Single live session: $297

In our 60-minute private session we’ll take stock of your current situation, including your website and portfolio (if you have one), your knowledge, your ambitions and your marketing strategy. Together we’ll pinpoint what your ideal freelance blogging career looks like and create a clear, effective, high level strategy to get you there.

Youll walk away with a written action plan plus a video recording of our session. And once you have your action plan in hand, you can take that away with you to work on alone, or bring it to optional follow up sessions so that we can work through it together.

SORRY, NO SPACES AVAILABLE!

I’ve had Sophie as a blogging mentor for a few weeks now, and all I can say is that I wish I’d had her around since the inception of my freelance blogging career. I’m now a freelance blogger with happy clients on my portfolio.

Sophie Lizard at Be A Freelance Blogger

Hi! I’m Sophie Lizard.

I started freelance writing online in 2009 when I was broke, jobless, homeless and pregnant.

Before that I tried a lot of different jobs:
I’ve been a data entry specialist, a marketing manager, and a photographic model.
[Yes, there are naked pictures of me on the internet. If that bothers you, then don’t Google them.]

For the past few years, I’ve made a living blogging for other people’s blogs. My blogging income supports my whole family, even though I only work part-time.

How did I do it? By becoming an expert in freelance blogging. It’s a skill you can learn, just like any other.

Now I’m going to show you how to do the same thing.

You’ll find out where the best jobs are hiding, how to negotiate with clients, how to set your rates, and what makes a successful freelance blogging career.

We’re going to start where you are, and finish where you want to be. At every stage in between, I’m here for you.

I’ll teach you everything I’ve learned in several years of freelance blogging, so you won’t have to waste time making rookie mistakes or wondering how to get ahead.

Sophie Lizard at Be A Freelance Blogger

I know how scary it is to move forward when you don’t feel confident that you know how to succeed.

It’s like jumping onto a swinging trapeze without a safety net, not knowing your next move: your heart races, the world tilts around you, and then…

And then you either fly, or fall.

You? You’re going to fly.

I’ll teach you all the moves. All you have to do is enter your email address below, and I’ll email you every week with tips, tricks and lessons learned from experience that you can use immediately to improve your life as a freelance blogger.

Type in your email address, click the big red button, and you’ll hear from me soon.

P.S. Yes, that’s really me on the trapeze. 🙂 And yes, you absolutely should give me your email address if you want to do this freelance blogging thing.
