When should you accept low rates?
from Copy Chatter for Freelance Writers with Ashley Gainer · host Ashley Gainer
One thing I've dealt with many times over my career -- and I've seen other writers deal with it constantly, too -- is this idea of accepting low rates (or even zero pay) in exchange for "exposure." Normally I'm pretty skeptical and would say don't do it, but there are a couple of exceptions. This episode shows you what they are and gives you a framework to decide for yourself whether or not writing "for exposure" is worth your time.
