Copywriter Fee & Compensation Survey Helps Increase Income
Added: (Tue Feb 28 2006)
What a copywriter should charge for his or her work has long been a mystery. Industry pros have jealously guarded their tactics and novices have been dashed on the rocks by not charging enough.
But now the cat is out of the bag. Copywriting and business building coach Chris Marlow (http://www.The CopywritersCoach.com) has compiled and published a report that details what other copywriters – novices and old hands alike – are charging for specific projects.
The 2005 Copywriter Fee & Compensation Survey (http://www.marketerschoice.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=346796) gives writers solid information about how much to charge … and what firms are paying. This critical information prevents writers from undercharging – in other words leaving too much money on the table – so they can negotiate the fees for their upcoming projects with confidence.
Passion market copywriter Victoria Rosendahl (http://www.rosendahlwrites.com) states, "This information is an invaluable resource. When I was starting out, I had no idea what a fair price would be for my work. Most novices charge far too little just because they're new. Hey, we're all new to something once, right?"
With Marlow's survey, copywriters could increase their income by as much as 200%. To illustrate, take this quick pricing test: How much should a writer charge to write copy for an 11 X 17 self-mailer? Is $500 too little? Is $1,000 to much? A survey of 210 copywriters showed that the median price for an 11 X 17 self-mailer is between $1,000 and $2,000. If a writer had charged $500, they could instantly increase their income 200% by quoting a fee of $1,500 – a price right smack in the middle of the survey results.
Those interested can SAVE $54 today on this invaluable resource. Marlow's special introductory price of $125 ends at noon sharp (Pacific Time) on Thursday, March 9. What happens then? The price goes up to $179.
Why? Readers of Marlow's Freelancer's Business Bulletin (http://www.FreelancersBusinessBulletin.com) -- and past purchasers of The 2005 Freelance Copywriter Fee & Compensation Survey -- set the new price when asked to place a "true" value on the report contents. The Survey Report also comes with a free bonus report, the industry classic, How to Set Your Copywriting Rates.
