Freelancing Reading
"Authentic" or "real-world" materials are often the best ones to use when progressing from intermediate to advanced level English proficiency. In that spirit of "fair use", the reading from this unit comes from a real marketing blog post created by NameCheap.com. Our company is not affiliated in any way with NameCheap.com, although we do use a number of their services and we are big fans. As usual, the reading contains all the terms in the vocabulary sheet. As usual, please master the reading and the vocabulary and then move on to the activities.For copyright and SEO reasons we cannot reprint this article, so here is a link to the original blog post.https://www.namecheap.com/blog/price-your-solo-business/
