Having just started in Freelancing this has got to be one of my main worries. The advice here is great, happy to say that I’m currently doing some of this, but lots of new ideas and things I have yet to think about or get involved with. I’m sure this one will be played a few times yet.
Thanks again for some great advice!

Very intetesting to listen to your podcast, thank you. I would like to know if there is a table of prices that tells freelancers what the average day rate should be for example in your pod cast you talk about a low day rate, what is a low day rate? Also if a freelancer has worked for one client in-house for a number of years is their any right that a freelancer has in the company.

Hi Anon.
Rates will vary depending on your industry.
As a web editor I’m most familiar with the NUJ guideline rates (for writers, editors, designers and translators).
There is a good guide here:

And we hope to cover rates in a future blog post.
