This is a such a cool post @kayceeports2020. As a freelancer myself, I agree with all the points you have mentioned. It's great to have talented people like you who are well versed with content creation & blogging.
$5 for a 3000-word topic is such a shame. Sadly, when you start, this is what you get for your efforts. As you move on and get more experience, you can charge more for the value you are providing.
I have done many jobs for free just to learn stuff, gain experience and get decent reviews. But don't do it too much! There has to be a line drawn when it comes to doing work for free.
Hello, @finguru ! It's so lovely talking to freelancers also here in Hive. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment ❤️
I can relate with the pro bono thing! Haha. It's also part of what we were taught. Find clients to do pro bono work so you have something to make of your portfolio to show to paying clients. Well, I skipped that part because I've done a fair share of underpaid work 😂 I moved on to paid test articles if prospects really want to see how I write a fresh article for them. No more pro bono hahaha. But yes for complete beginners, go with reasonable pro bono projects 😊
