How does one start asking for money freelance gigs? I've been starting to freelance for a few local blogs while I'm in between jobs, but I've been doing it for free. Someone told me I should do it for free for the "exposure" but I need money!! Should I ask the places I've been writing for much they pay their usual freelancers? I'm scared they'll tell me "Fuck that, we don't need you!"
