I usually just do an hourly quote for that stuff. I charge around 90/hr for that kind of stuff (in NYC).
Yeah don’t do $/word. It’ll make you less money AND it encourages you to write lengthy copy (which is usually bad for communication collateral).
Just figure out roughly how much time it will take you. Then multiply by your hourly rate. So if it takes you 45 minutes to write one page of copy, and you charge $100/hr, then your rate is $75/page of copy.
I’d still just do an hourly, and give her an estimate on how long it’ll take.
Thanks! She was thinking a ‘per word’ fee. Is that done here? I’m not from this country and have only worked in large agencies here
Per word is usually the online publishing fee structure for content. I’ve never done it though so I can’t advise on price other than 10 cents - $1 per word is often the rate depending on your experience and how much research has to go into you writing the article. Hope this helps
Never do a per-word fee. That’s how content farms operate and it favors pointlessly long writing. Why say in one sentence what you could say in a paragraph?
Totally agree. So then what? How much per piece?
