Ask Us Anything, Part 2

For our mid-season episode, we're addressing Writers' Co-op members' questions! We dig into how to ask your anchor clients for a raise; project pricing versus hourly rates; how to take time off when you're sick; budgeting strategies; the perks of rotating stability; how we track assignments each month; networking during the pandemic; how to cancel work without ruining relationships; and managing freelancing while holding down a full-time job. If you're a Patreon member, you get access to a worksheet about finding your ideal financial range, and you get a look into how Wudan and Jenni manage their own workflows, with a bonus assignment tracking template. (Btw: we have a new offering: If you're just getting started with your freelance business, you'll want to enroll in freelance biz school @ The Writers’ Co-op Academy! We're offering two courses: One that helps you create a business plan (Biz Basics) and one to help you understand media contracts. Check 'em out!)
