| Alegíatapatía | Posted – 6/6/2008 9:02:27 PM | show profile I've been writing for a really great website for a month now and I've gotten nothing but great response from my editors. They're a pretty big site with lots of money behing them. I'm wondering if it's too early to ask for more money. I love the work I'm doing but I don't have as much time to search for other freelance work. Any thoughts? ------ Http://AlegriaTapatia.Blogspot.com |

| KC4 | Posted – 6/7/2008 1:12:27 AM | show profile Agreed...a month is really early in the game to be fishing for more money. At the very least I'd wait 6 months, but keep in mind that this is a job like any other; in most workplaces it's not unusual for pay raises (if they do come) to occur once or maybe twice a year following reviews. And they won't see 'I don't have time to find other work' as a legit excuse for increasing your pay. If you feel really confident about this blog, send the clips with your resume to drum up some work from other sources. |

If that's still pretty low, is there a way you can cut the time down you work on them in order to increase your hourly wage? I try to think of my low-paying gigs in this way. |
