Would you independent writers recommend advertising a flat rate
(range of rates) for your services, or would you recommend charging
by the project (w/o advertising any figures)?
Which is more successful? Which yields a better response from
customers? Which results in a better working arrangement? What
has worked best for you?
I'd be happy to hear your positive and not-so positive experiences.
