As soon as I became more selective about my clients, I started to make more money. Freelance sites are in a weird place right now. They want to become recognized as legitimate workplaces, but the jobs that many buyers post are anything but. I think there needs be a more strict code of ethics on all of these sites, especially when it comes to spam. Just by having the code of ethics there, most freelancers and buyers would at least think twice before they post spam factory jobs or agree to write fake testimonials. -Ted Bendixson I couldn’t agree more Ben.

Ethics are so important! It's easy to get discouraged by all the sleazy jobs that show up on the freelance sites, but there are GREAT clients out there if you stick to your principles. Freelance writers need to remind themselves - you have the power to choose who you work for. This is one of the most important decisions you can make. Best wishes, Ben Gran Freelance writer Hello Ted,
