Anyone have tips on getting started with day rate work? I’m a conversion-focused copywriter/digital strategist in LA with 7-10 years experience, if you could college or not

Some advice... if you are going to be a writer, try to proofread your work. That said, be happy with a $400 day rate. Still not entirely sure what you wrote or what a conversion-focused copywriter is or does. Good luck

It’s a copywriter who cares more about how ads perform than agency wank.

$400 is really low for what I normally charge, so it doesn’t look like it’s a good fit for this crowd

This feels like satire. If so, well done.
If not, oof

funny

Siri autocorrected “count” as “could,” but not seeing how this could be satire? Maybe you could come down off your high horse and enlighten me?

Don’t do it. Serious trading time for money is for people shoveling snow. You want flat fees and tightly written contracts

Hey there. Jumping in here because I’m curious... When you say flat fees, you mean per project?

Hey fellow designers,

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?

At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
