I was too eager to take up new assignments because I was trying to get into an entirely new market.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, two things have happened and now I&#8217;m negotiating with my clients less and less.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Lowering the rates more than I can comfortably offer reduces the quality of my work.<\/li>\n<li>I have got enough work on the rates I need to deliver quality.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Why negotiations are harmful for quality content writing?<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying negotiations are always bad \u2013 every business, every company does them and besides, everybody is entitled to a good bargain.<\/p>\n<p>In my case, I always offer the best rate I can offer. I always feel uncomfortable offering a higher rate assuming that the client will ask me to lower it and then I should say something like, &#8220;Okay, fine, I will do it at a discount for you.&#8221; Feels like cheating. Doesn&#8217;t sound dignified.<\/p>\n<p>This is why, I charge just the right amount I think I should be making while delivering high-quality content writing.<\/p>\n<p>The rates that I charge allow me to spend good time writing good content. If a charge less, then I have to make it up by focusing more on quantity and less on quality which is not good for my clients, and more importantly, not good for my own skill.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it puts off many clients, but then, there ARE clients who find my rates fine and eagerly pay me what I ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Negotiation as a concept is not a bad but after
