Negotiating can come easy to some but may be difficult for others. However, once you learn how to negotiate properly you will be set for Arrivedo and your own business. In this section, we will teach you the different ways to make the best of your negotiations.

However, you are free to sell your writing services for whatever price you may deem. You are the only one who can determine what your work is worth! We have seen writers take many different forms of payment. You can even mix cash, free accommodation, gift cards, buffets, 5-star dinners, tours, travel and more.
