Guide: Pricing & Services for Freelancers
Stop guessing your value. See exactly what a successful freelance writer charges.
You’re a skilled freelancer, but pricing often feels like a mystery. Without transparent data, you’re stuck guessing — and probably undercharging.
This guide pulls back the curtain on my real-world journey from cheap projects to niche expert. You'll get the actual numbers, service tiers, and “psychological permission” you need to raise your rates today.
This resource is free. Just type $0 in the "Name a fair price" field.
What's inside:
A detailed look at the business side of a freelance writing career:
- Rate Card: My actual pricing for blog posts, white papers, and ghostwriting (including the specific dollar difference between "General" and "Subject Matter Expert" rates).
- Timeline: A step-by-step look at how my pricing has increased over the years, so you can map your own trajectory
- Add-On Revenue Ideas: Rush fees, project minimums, and other factors you can use to increase deal size without working more hours.
Perfect for:
- New freelancers who want to leave their 9-5 but are terrified of not replacing their income.
- "Stuck" writers who suspect they are undercharging
- Solopreneurs looking to transition from "hourly billing" to profitable, flat-rate project pricing.
What you'll get:
- The 12-page guide (PDF)

About me:
Hi, I'm Anna Burgess Yang. I’m a freelance content marketer, journalist, and former tech executive.
In 2021, I left a 15-year corporate career to bet on myself. My solo business grew quickly because I leaned into my former experience as an exec. I knew how to make the right business decisions, including setting my rate, and went from "zero experience" to a full client roster in just 18 months.
Now, I help other solopreneurs build sustainable businesses through resources and consulting services.
