Hello,
I hope I have this in the correct section, for I'm hoping to receive some help with determining how to best utilize my "extras." I recently made an error by using them for adding additional gigs, thinking it would help some buyers since I had some who wanted to buy several at a time. My attempt to make it easier for them ended up costing me money and 12 gigs that will not be recognized on my total number. Not the worst thing in the world, but a "shucks" kinda thing. Lesson learned.
Now I'm trying to determine what is an appropriate "extra." My gig is writing short articles on animals. What I'm finding is that I'm spending a lot more time with medical research than I planned on (I'm a stickler on accuracy), and therefore probably making about 25 cents an hour. I am grateful for the work and the wonderful reviews, and enjoy doing the work for the people, as they've been very pleasant. However, I can't put so much time into it for $4 and risk losing other work.
I considered making an extra as "for medically researched articles" and then an additional charge. However, I don't really know what sort of other extras I could do for the writing and was hoping to get some suggestions. Would love to hear ideas.
Thanks!
