Freelance copywriting services (articles, press releases, corporate, print ad and radio copy, web and mobi-web copy and more). Well crafted words work wonders for your business!
Chantal Collings commented on Freelancers: here's how to get paid
Thank you Tiffany and Jo for this very informative follow-up article! I enjoyed getting two different professional perspectives on the payment issue, both very realistic and balanced - and I completely agree with Jo in that, 'If you go for a massage or buy something in a shop, you pay for it immediately, so why should this be any different?'

The advice offered also confirmed for me that, especially as a freelancer, it is vital to put into place a fair value on our services - both financial and in terms of mutually fair work/payment structures - and then politely but firmly 'stick to one's guns'. It may sometimes mean losing a client or two (and them losing out on your fantastic service!), but the long-term gains are healthy cash-flow, work satisfaction and ultimately mutually respectful working relationships with that stable of 'new, lovely clients'. ;-)
