You may not be able to charge this much at first, but as you gain experience and credibility, your rate will increase. Just be careful not to charge too little at first.

Charging $10 for an article might seem like a good way to start getting clients, but in reality it could drive away quality clients as their skills will be questioned, not to mention that charging so little could drain their motivation to continue with this.

While we're on the subject of pricing, it's best to charge your clients per project, rather than an hourly rate, as it will be difficult to determine how long it will take to complete a task, especially when you're just starting out as a freelancer.

Charging a fee based on a project means you'll be rewarded for finishing faster and your clients will know how much to pay you from the start.

According to WriteWorldwide , this is how much you can expect to charge per project in your first year as a freelance writer, regardless of your niche or previous writing experience.
