When business is slow and projects are hard to come by,
it's tempting to take any job that comes along. Sometimes
that can mean considering work at a lower rate than you
would normally accept.
Although it is clearly tempting, this can be a serious
mistake. Tying yourself into a low-paying project means
you are then unable to take on more lucrative work that

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
