Unlike other sectors, there is very little data on the profession of freelance writer.
How much do you charge? What tasks does it perform?
These and other questions are very recurrent in forums and social networks. However, the answers are usually very diffuse and it seems that no one speaks clearly about it. 
Eva Sanagustín conducted a survey on the subject and these are some of the conclusions that we reached with the data in hand.
FREELANCE EDITORS IN SPAIN
The content that is written the most are blog posts. It is done 71% and 59% is framed in a content plan.
Some 59% admit to having done some free work. Some freelance writers say it’s worth doing some work for free if you gain visibility, it allows you to learn or help those who need it.

The freelance editor earns an average of 1,567 euros per month.
This figure can be striking. Especially bearing in mind that the average salary of a self-employed in Spain is 751 euros. However, this figure must be grasped with tweezers, since Eva Sanagustín herself tells us:
“To calculate the average salary of a freelance writer in Spain, I have chosen to use the salaries of each participant (based on their volume of pieces, words and rate per word). Thus, the highest value is 8,333 € / month, the lowest of 27 € and the average is 1.576 € per month. In other words: some can live on what they write and others can not.

To earn 1,576 euros, freelance writers write – on average – 32 pieces a month of about 707 words each.
The average rate indicates that you charge 41 euros for every 300 words.
EXCLUSIVELY FREELANCE EDITORS?
No. At least mostly.
61% of the respondents perform Community Manager tasks in addition to their writing services. 14% offer translation services and 25% of image / video creation.
US & UK CONTENT EDITOR
The Salary tool for the US and UK has been available for a few weeks now. This tool allows us to know how much we should charge according to our job.
I used this tool to know how much an editor should charge in the US and UK. And the result is the following …
CONTENT MANAGER
United States: $ 60,000 per year.
United Kingdom: £ 32,000 per year.
COPYWRITER
United States: $ 55,000 per year.
United Kingdom: £ 27,000 per year.
As you have already seen, the salaries offered in the US and UK are much higher than what is currently (on average) a freelance copywriter.
Although some professionals reach the figures they offer in these countries, many charge a significantly lower figure (which makes the average so low in comparison).
