Is there anybody here that provides content for website such as proof reading and writing the actual content?
If so, how much do you price your self at and what determines this?
I'd be really grateful for any replies and examples, I've had a look around on the internet but there doesn't seem to be any consistency.
Many thanks
The blog I need help with is clouisehaden.wordpress.com.
I think most of us missed the journalism boat (I must have been in the pub), so that's why we set-up blogs!
Copyediting and copywriting are both very different jobs. A lot of copywriters breaking into the business might write for free initially to get their name out there, otherwise, they usually charge by the word, which usually depends on the length of the project. I'm a certified copyeditor and I usually charge around $50 an hour, depending on the length of the project and the level of editing needed. Proofreading is a level or two down from copyediting though and usually is cheaper.
What determines the price for writers and editors is education and experience. A certified copyeditor with experience is going to make more than a non-certified copyeditor with little experience, and an award-winning writer is going to make more than someone just breaking into the business. Like anything, you have to start at a lower price until you can build up your portfolio.
I do liveblogging for a minimum of $150 per event, and at $50 per hour. I write blog posts for $50 per.
Proofing is a specialized skill, but you can find a qualified proofreader on the Editor's Association website. http://www.editors.ca/hire/index.html Figure anywhere between $25-$60 an hour.
Thanks guys - all your help has been appreciated :)
