Copy writing

Hi, can anyone tell me how much I'd expect to pay for a professional copy writer??

Thanks,

Nate.

They are quite expensive. It depends on the type of content you're looking for, but a normal few paragraphs could cost around 500 USD.

Re: Copy writing

For a simple copy critique probably around $350 US. For full copy write more like $1000 US
There are steps in between such as refreshing text that's written would be around $500.

Hope that helps!

That sounds like good money. Maybe I should get into copywriting!

Re: Copy writing

Are you aware that all content placed on the web is copyrighted? Or at least that is the way it is in the USA...don't remember where I read that but I can look it up for you again if you like.

We're talking about "copy writing", not "copyrighting"

It's not just the Web. Generally (although there may be local variations), any original work is automatically the copyright of the author.

Re: Copy writing

Oh I see now, I normally just write all that kind of content myself. I do the same for Webforumz. Check out the previous links, it just takes a little bit of creative writing. You can do it!
