Crafting a long-form white paper will likely take more time and effort than a set of blog posts, so you\u2019ll want to ask for more money.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing to <\/span><b>consider is how long and complicated the content is<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Super technical content is likely going to have a longer word count and take longer to write, so make sure to factor that into your rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, you need to <strong>d<\/strong><\/span><b>ecide whether to charge per project or per hour<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Charging per project makes sense if you know how long a project will take. If you\u2019re unsure, charging per hour can be helpful if you&#8217;re working on projects with varying levels of complexity or if the scope of the project changes often.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to setting fair rates for your technical writing work is to think about all of these factors and charge a rate that reflects the value you bring to the project. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71fdf18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"71fdf18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-title=\"The New Tech Freelancers\u2019 Guide To Earning Over $150\/Hour For Freelance Coding Jobs &#038; Technical Writing Freelance Projects (with sourcing, pricing &#038; portfolio examples)\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.data-mania.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/When-you-finally-start-charging-your-worth-q5gk3b086mklxnhrea2x2sqv80vr4n884brbrjulqg.gif\" title=\"When you finally start charging your worth\" alt=\"When you finally start charging your worth\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-191c889 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"191c889\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a61aff3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"a61aff3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"4\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9fe71a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e9fe71a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Where To Find The Best Freelance Coding Jobs &amp; Technical Writing Freelance Projects<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0968c04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0968c04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find the best freelance coding jobs or writing gigs, you&#8217;ll need to know where to look.
