Got contract ready? That is next most valuable tool you have to your computer. Having every detail spelled out, leaves little room for guess work. Dates, expectations, payment, and even revisions need to be included. It’s just a safe way to do business, no matter if you are seller or buyer. Copywriter rates that are flexible or based on a per hour rate are just too difficult to monitor. How will you monitor a per hour rate?

To find basic copywriter rates, you can browse through listings of copy writers looking for work. There is a safe bet, here. You may want to steer clear of those asking for outrageous sums as they already have an inflated ego. You don’t need that in your work. If they had such a great business going, do you really think they would have to advertise? As for lowest prices out there, require samples and references before getting too deep. No matter what you do need in rates for copywriting, you can find someone out there willing to work with you. Just get guidelines set before project begins.

There is no easy way to make a career as a proof reader or copy writer unless you build strong, good relationships with your clients from beginning. Sure, you can find copywriter books that can give you great tips on how to get out there, how to present yourself, and how to make your business work, but in end, if your work is not of good quality, you can forget whole thing. Do not be discouraged away from purchasing these books though. They can provide you with an outstanding amount of useful information. Just don’t set your goals so high that you can’t see first step of ladder!
