If you’re wondering if your rates are in the same ballpark as other freelance writers, you’re not alone.
Pricing your work can feel like a shot in the dark—especially when clients try to lowball you or when fellow freelancers hesitate to talk numbers.
But here’s the thing: Knowledge is power. And the only way to know where you truly stand is by getting real data from real writers. That’s why I’m running a quick, five-minute survey to gather insights on what freelance writers are earning right now.
Why take the Make a Living Writing 2025 Pay Survey?
- Get a reality check—Are you in line with industry standards, or is it time to raise your rates?
- Help create transparency—The more freelancers share, the more we all benefit
- No fluff, just facts—The survey is quick and to the point, no personal details required
- We’re giving away prizes—If you fill in the survey by March 31, 2025, we’ll enter you in a random drawing for one grand prize of a free year in the Freelance Writers Den and the Celebrate Your Independence e-book bundle, three second prizes of one month in the Freelance Writers Den and the Celebrate Your Independence e-book bundle, and five third prizes of a free month in the Freelance Writers Den.
Once the results are in, we’ll publish a full breakdown of the findings
You’ll see exactly what other writers at different experience levels and niches are making, so you can make informed decisions about your own pricing
