So I'm starting to get everything that isn't staying transferred from here to Profitable Writer. I'm working on setting up Profitable Writer to be the frontend of FCCO. The place where potential clients can browse member portfolios and communicate/hire individuals or groups of individuals. I was planning on moving FWP blog over there but after seeing how messed up the domain transfer makes everything, I decided to leave it here, keep it dedicated to just freelance writers and return it to its former glory as a straight-up blog without all the other crap and clutter. The forum will stay here at least until FCCO goes up and maybe for good. That's about the latest news I have. FCCO is still just a name and a domain. Profitable Writer is the skeleton of a functioning site but still months off especially with all the other work I suddenly have. Basically, both sites have been relegated to the back burner for now.
Oh there is one thing I added to the FWP blog right up there under
"Freelance Rate Calculator". Yea, it's a calculator. Or a form that does a few simple calculations anyways. It's pretty basic stuff but it gives you a place to add some numbers and see the results in a useful format. In this case, the results are hourly and per word rates determined by what you want to earn during the year. Feel free to use it, bookmark it and jump to it whenever you need. I hope it helps you get what you deserve to earn as a freelancer.
