Rates & pricing info

Here’s everything you want to know about my rates and pricing (but didn’t know how to ask.)

Are your rates hourly?

No, they’re not. Every project quote is value-based, meaning you’re paying for the value and ROI of the finished product, not the time spent producing it.

My rates also include:

  • Outlining and research

  • SEO keyword integration & formatting

  • Images, screenshots, and examples

  • Internal links to your existing in-house content

  • Access to my network of expert sources: With seven years in the SaaS/eCommerce world under my belt, I've built an extensive network of knowledgeable sources. I’m happy to conduct outreach to those partners to tie their expertise into the pieces I write with fresh, original quotes. This also gives a potential added distribution boost, as they’re often happy to share pieces on social media they’ve been quoted in (and many have sizeable followings).

Do you offer ghostwriting?

I do offer ghostwriting (as in, my name and link to my website are not included with the post), but there is a 20% additional fee for these types of assignments because not getting a byline/link means I don’t get the opportunity to build my domain authority.

What price point do most projects start at?

Writing assignments (like blog posts) range from $0.80 to $1.00/word. To get a slot on my calendar, I typically require a minimum monthly workload of $3,000.

Larger projects are custom-quoted based on scope.

Why do your prices start there?

Clients who decide to work with me do so because they believe in paying for a high-quality, conversion-oriented product—not just a finished product. If your focus is keeping costs low (rather than amazing results and high ROI), you’re in the wrong place.

Companies hiring me seek a subject matter expert with in-depth industry knowledge and a proven track record of results-driven content creation.

What’s the process like for a new client?

Every new client follows this process:

1. You'll assign me a topic and fill out my writing brief that will guide my outline.
2. I'll build out the outline based on these details and request a 50% deposit based on the estimated word count of the piece. I'll complete and send over the outline once that is paid.
3. You'll hop into Google Docs and make any notes/comments before I dive into writing.
4. I'll write a first draft (~7 business days turnaround time on average) and send it to you for review.
5. You'll leave edits in the draft, and I'll come back and make those edits within 1-2 business days.
6. We'll sign off on final approval, and I'll send over the invoice for the remaining 50% balance to be paid, Net0.

I never want you to have to “check up on me.” I aim to inform you of where I’m at every three days with a status report. For smaller projects, I’ll often be finished before you can even think to ask how things are going.

Once the final product is delivered, I’ll ask you to complete a five-question exit survey.

Other FAQs

Can I pay via credit card?

Of course! Your invoice will include a link to pay online with a credit card. Bank transfers are also extremely welcome.

How many rounds of edits do I get?

Every project includes one round of edits. If you need additional edits after the first round, there is a project-based fee for additional work. This fee helps ensure we’re both on the same page from the start of the project.

How soon can you start?

I request at least a three-week lead time for new projects. I typically have 1-2 openings for new clients each month, but those fill up quickly. The sooner we can start the conversation, the better.

If you need me RIGHT NOW, I’ll move you to the top of my to-do list, but a 25% priority fee will be added to your invoice.
