I'd probably add that, at least if you are truly dependent on your freelancing income (vs.someone who has help paying the bills and wouldn't let you end up on the street), look for clients who have used your type of service before. I have found that people who say "yes" to an hourly rate are shocked to find out that work sometimes takes more than one or two hours. I've had clients refuse to pay or just pay half, because they had no idea it would cost so much. You want to work with people who understand what it costs to, for example, keep a blog going or create a monthly newsletter. Cynthia Clampitthttp://www.worldplate.comnoreply@blogger.com
