Ok, so I'm not sure how easy this is to answer (considering different currencies), but I'm totally in the dark about what counts as a good rate for freelancing. Some people say $20 per news story is low. Or $0.08 per word is low? I've heard that games journalism pays less than usual too.

I got another one! How much do Twitter followers matter? How do we get more of them (if they do matter)?

I want tips for how to stay productive. Sometimes, I find myself in an anxiety-filled hell hole where I can't think of the right words. Once, it took me 4 hours to write 250 words. I feel like this is exacerbated by the fact freelancing doesn't have a set schedule. Send help!
