Freelance Writing Tip #13: Markets Pay Different Rates
Depending upon what market you’re involved in, markets pay different rates based on their distribution and sales. Writing for one magazine could earn you up to $2.50 a word; publishing the same piece in another, lesser-known magazine could pay you anywhere from 5 to 15 cents a word. Higher rates usually mean higher competition, so make sure you do your homework through places like Writer’s Market Online or check out submission guidelines and payment terms on other places like Ralan’s List before you waste your time submitting to something you don’t feel is worth the effort.
