That’s some great advice right there and great point about earning more than a plumber. It’s so true.

Often we cheapen ourselves just for a quick buck.

I tell my readers to write your article and if it doesn’t get published then you can always use it on your own blog as long as you are pitching in the same niche.

Great article, John! I think one of the reasons that keeping high paying clients is easy because getting paid a reasonable hourly rate means that you have the time to do good work.

With low paid writing you have to knock out the content as quickly as possible. The client receives sub-par work which inevitably leads to sub-optimal results for them.

At the end of the day, getting paid properly produces better results for the client – and of course the writer.

In reply to Mitch. I think where you find clients depends largely on the kind of writing you want to do.

I’m curious what was your advice on finding clients? I was looking for that part in your post, where did you tell him to start looking?
I agree, writers should not settle for less, Unhealthy competition will eventually ruin the entire market.
There should be a standard minimum rate agreed upon by writers or something..

In reply to William Ballard. William, you ask an excellent question. There are so many reasons writers settle for the low-paying gigs. That will have to wait for another post!
