    That’s such an interesting survey, Rachel. I feel guilty now that I didn’t contribute … Next time, promise.
    Best

    Hi Rachel. Just wanted to tell you that I shared your infographic with my journalism students last week — scared the bejaysus out of them. The first thing they all saw was $90K+. Then they saw how few earned that and how long people had been in the industry for. Oh well, a harsh dose of reality never hurt anyone.

    This is so great Rachel, super insightful and really helpful in assisting me create my own rate-card. I’m going to take a leaf out of Carrie’s book and share it with my lecturer and fellow classmates at uni.

    I think it’s great for people to see the reality of what it is like, and it will be interesting to see this compared to the 2014 results.

    What a fantastic post Rachel! Thank you! As a writer who’s gone from a salary (content writing) to freelancing, it’s been very difficult trying to figure out what my work is worth, particularly with so many companies outsourcing their written content nowadays. With the #paythewriters movement, it seems like this isn’t uncommon. How refreshing it was to stumble upon your post with so much valuable information. Thanks again!
