How Much Should I Ask For? (Copywriting Jobs)
43
I'm feeling inspired by Angie, who has a copywriting job and also does freelance copywriting...
And so I'm applying for a few jobs...
But what should I say if they want to know my "salary requirements" for either hourly rates or FT annual salary? Or monthly, for that matter.
I've looked at places like Salary.com, and the average tends to be just under $60k/year (which comes to about $30/hour).
And if it's contract work without benefits and where I have to pay self-employment tax, then it might be higher. Someone told me I should ask for way higher rates for that...
Does anyone have an idea what would be appropriate - i.e., not underpricing myself and not pricing myself right out of the running (I seem to be good at that).
Thanks so much.

P.S.: Then again, maybe I get so many new gigs that I may postpone the job hunt...
