$100/hr, albeit writing about/for software, not writing the software itself. Copywriting is a super great gig.

- snerbles 10y agoHow did you get started?
- anguswithgusto 10y agoI was running social media for a startup and learned that one of the bosses was paying a freelance copywriter $90/hr. I quit my job the next day.
- palerdot 10y agoDo you have any public sites where people can view your writings? I'm also considering venturing into technical writing as I like reading about technologies and their pros/cons. Not sure where to start though.
- ss108 10y agoWAT How did you swing that/who do you write for? I have written an article for Sitepoint and have a couple in-progress pitches with them and someone else, but I am not really motivated about it because the per hour rate, after all the back-and-forth and work, ends up being like 20 bucks or less.
- anguswithgusto 10y agoTook a lot of effort to build up the portfolio. I basically tried to avoid content mills and focused my effort on clients I knew I could write a reliably successful piece for (between 2k - 50k hits). As you allude to though, the back-and-forth does dilute the rate quite a bit. But it's still fun as hell.
