I'm a freelance writer from India and charge somewhere aroun USD 0.10/word.

I usually write blog posts in the B2B niche that requires some research. I can write around 1200 words per day and write approximately 2 pieces per week these days.

While this makes me enough money to get by, I'm wondering it would be impossible to sustain with these earnings in the USA or UK.

Therefore, I'm wondering how much do US and UK-based writers charge, make? Also, what's your daily productivity and workload, etc.

Apologies if I sound intrusive; I'm just curious to know. Thank you!

I know that there have been some threads about monthly income (and even weekly income). But personally I prefer to think about how much I earn per annum / year.

I'm a freelance writer focusing on working with technology clients. I offer a mixture of articles/blogs, ebooks, white papers, and (rarely) speeches. I probably average, conservatively, 40-50 hours of work per week. I'm currently onboarding new clients in the $0.30-$0.40 per word range (I don't charge per word - for comparison) but my main client is grandfathered at $0.22 approximately.

My year to date income is $36,700. I'm currently owed about $6,000 on top of that. So I'm really at about $42,000.

Obviously this is only October, so it's definitely credible that I will pass the $50K milestone by the end of the year.

Personally, I'd like to be making $60-70. I live in Israel, which is blood expensive, and I think that's what required to live a good quality of life here. I've wasted a lot of time this year on marketing and BD that went nowhere (and onboarding clients for a few months). So going forward I want to focus on clients with recurring work - at my target rate. I think once I fill up my book of business to that level and keep it that way my target should be credible. Maybe next year.

How much do you make per year, give or take? What does your client base look like? And what kind of writing do you do.
