What are your rates and typical turnaround time?
I typically charge on a per word or per project basis as opposed to hourly. Services where I would charge an hourly rate include editing, fact-checking, and optimization of existing content.
My general delivery for most types of content is up to 1 week ARO. Larger projects, such as e-books, booklets, and research reports, typically take 1-2 weeks to complete.
The rate and delivery time depend on the type of content and the scope of work. Once the project requirements are determined, I send the client a written quote that includes the price and delivery.
Does your pricing include revisions?
Yes. All flat rate and per word pricing includes a set number of revisions.
Revisions must not change the direction, scope, or format of the project and must be requested within thirty (30) days from the date the project was first received by the company.
What are your accepted methods of payment?
Accepted methods of payment are bank ACH direct deposit, bank wire transfer, and credit card. Digital payment preferred, but will accept payment via check or money order if required.
Do you require a down payment?
I typically require a 50% down payment for the first project with a new cient. An invoice for the remaining 50% balance is sent upon completion and approval of the final draft or thirty (30) days from the submission date of the first draft (in the event that the company does not provide approval of the final draft within 30 days).
If the first project goes well, the client may opt for a new agreement with per month invoicing (no down payments required).
If the work is recurring, weekly blog posts for example, an invoice is submitted at the end of each month for all content submitted during that month.
Do you offer any discounts?
I generally do not offer discounts. However, I'm willing to consider offering a discount under certain circumstances. For example, I would consider offering a quantity discount for a set of three case studies or a set of four in-depth articles.
Do you accept rush work?
Any work that requires projects I'm currently working on to be rescheduled, has a deadline shorter than my standard turnaround time, or would require that I work on the weekend or a holiday, is what I consider to be "rush work."
My schedule is often very hectic, so rush work is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The rates for rush work are 50% higher than the rates for projects with a standard turnaround time.
Creating high quality content takes time and a keen attention to detail. It takes time to conduct research on the topic, industry, and audience. It also takes time to ensure that the content is well written, authoritative, and accurate.
I prefer to have an adequate amount of time for each project so that I'm able to do my best work.
