Tip for freelance writers: Have a document that clearly lays out your value proposition, your workflow, and your expectations for new clients.

I also include some answers to FAQs in mine.

A peek at what you'll find there...(thread)

1/ What's included in my rates.

Here I spell out exactly what "extras" I build into my rates (so the client knows what they're paying for aside from my time spent writing)

2/ Information on ghostwriting & short turnaround times.

In my business, both of these qualifiers incur additional fees, so I explain WHY and HOW MUCH.

3/ A ballpark range for my rates.

I find myself custom quoting quite a bit since every project is a little different, but it's wise to include a base rate to allow clients to self-filter based on your budget expectations.

4/ My process, step by step.

I spell out in detail what my writing workflow looks like so clients know exactly what to expect when working with me.

5/ General FAQs.

Here I address common questions, such as:

-Can I pay via credit card?
-How many rounds of edits are included?
-How soon can you start?

Having this page in place saves a ton of time and allows me to take the lead on assignments as a professional with a clear, well-established workflow.

Easy peasy.
