In this survey, freelancers are asked about their professional experience and remuneration. Since 2016, the findings of this survey have helped freelancers identify risks and trends in the sector and benchmark their rates against the fees most often charged by other South African freelancers for similar work. The data also helps Safrea and its partners support freelancers in the media and communication sector through professional development and advocacy.
The survey is open to freelance graphic designers, videographers, PR professionals, journalists, voice-over artists, podcasters, translators and interpreters, copywriters and editors among others.
The survey takes approximately 15 - 20 minutes to complete. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. By completing our survey, you stand a chance to win a year’s free Safrea membership.
There are no risks associated with your participation. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point.
Your honesty and feedback are invaluable.
