YesterdayPRICING OF CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS
How to price your work as a freelancer? Amelia Tait has prepared an excellent overview article in which she advocates for a more equitable and informed approach to freelance pricing — encouraging freelancers to openly discuss their rates with peers within the creative community to assess relevant rates.
"If you feel anxious about probing your peers, then you can look for guerrilla spreadsheets where creatives anonymously share their rates," writes Amelia and shares a few such spreadsheets for different disciplines like animators, journalists, and producers.
VALUES IN FREELANCING

She also discusses the challenges creative professionals face in balancing business demands with ethical standards and outlines a detailed activity designed to help you identify and integrate core values into your creative business.
"Building a successful, ethical business offers you a chance to do significant good in the world, and to counteract all those myths and assumptions. You need to see the power you hold, and then use it intentionally."
