[Hidden-tech] writing rates

[Janis S. Gray]

I agree with Susanna. It takes more work and talent to write concise copy than long copy! Paying by the hour may be a better way to approach it. The Writer's Market has examples of low, average and high hourly rates for business writing.

  I'll be eager to hear other opinions, but to me paying by the word is counterproductive. The best online writing is tight and concise. The better you are, the less you make. Not sure why you'd do this.

  Hello all!

   

  One of my potential clients wants to pay for online content by the word. What's the going rate these days?

   

  Thanks for any information you can share!

   

  Yours,

  Holly
