Setting fees for writing services and products is a challenge for many writers. And I include experienced writers in this too. Many otherwise competent writers give up freelancing because they can’t get the hang of pricing their services.

Take it from one who knows, because I’ve been there: when you cram your calendar with low-paying gigs, you don’t have the time or the energy to get highly-paid gigs.
