Seeing the need for freelance writing, they now offer freelance work for others locally. They now want to charge US for writing! We agree to pay for their services if they agree to pay for their college tuition. They've decided to continue writing for us for 'free!' :) I think freelance work is as much about selling yourself, as it is making yourself available when opportunity knocks.

I like how you lay it out very simply. It's really now all about sales: can you sell yourself? After that's it's all downhill from there. Awesome post! I like how you lay it out very simply.
