If some people are charging rock bottom, that hurts everybody.ĭaniel: It’s hard to do, I think.

Molly: Yes! Or bringing down the value of our market in general. I raised my rates after seeing that I was often charging below average.Īly: I also became more diligent about ensuring that I wasn’t undervaluing myself when I gave clients quotes. Information sharing, and getting each person to consider their business, is so valuable.ĭaniel: Agreed! It was valuable to me personally. Molly O’Halloran: I was just going to say that. Of the 13 people who saw the last survey and said they hadn’t changed practices, only 5 (38%) gave themselves raises. That doesn’t explicitly mean correlation, but it seems anecdotally strong. Of the 11 people who said they’d been influenced by the last survey, 10 (90%) of them also said they’d given themselves a raise. And I like to think the survey in 2018 is a part of that: we asked people if their business practices were influenced by 2018’s survey, and we separately asked if they’d given themselves a raise recently. So, the good news is that it looks like rates are going up, whether you slice it by mean or median. Median is less susceptible to outliers, so it might be a good comparison going forward in these surveys. Since we decided to use medians this time around:ĭaniel: Right, we had one outlier rate that was raising the mean a fair bit, which would have been $79 otherwise. And thanks to Aly for making all the graphics!ĭaniel Huffman: Ok, so, let’s start with the big number, which is: what’s the median income for freelancers right now?Īly Ollivierre: We should first note the average, since that’s what we used last time: $ and $. This time around, Molly O’Halloran was kind enough to join us and bring her insights, as well.

Fifty-six of you were kind enough to take the time to answer our questions our thanks to all of you for helping bring more transparency to freelancing! Several weeks ago, Aly Ollivierre and I posted a survey on pay and business practices in the freelance mapping community. Know of something you think we should cover? Email us at. The map-which is used in Japanese textbooks-can be fit into different shapes without losing its accuracy, and AuthaGraph sells paper assembly kits where you can fold it from a sphere to a cone to a flat map, mimicking the way the projection itself is made.

“AuthaGraph faithfully represents all oceans continents, including the neglected Antarctica,” according to the Good Design Awards, and provides “an advanced precise perspective of our planet.” No longer does Africa look the same size as North America, or Antarctica look like one of the biggest continents (it’s smaller than everything but Europe and Australia). Unlike the Mercator projection, the 1569 mapping technique that you'd probably recognize from the world maps you saw in school, the continents on the AuthaGraph aren’t lined up straight across-they’re angled in a way that provides a more accurate representation of the distances between them.
