"A lot of the freelancers who replied to my advert just sent me their quote and nothing else," says Angel, who advertised for a freelancer in July.

4. Your writing matters – even in a query letter

5. Employers aren't always looking for the cheapest possible quote
"Some of the quotes I received were really shockingly low," admits Angel. "I just thought that if someone is willing to write an article for $10, they must really be struggling for work.
