You probably have some questions about my rates.
Tailored quotes
Every content project is different so one-size-fits-all rates won’t offer you the best value for your dollar. That’s why I tailor quotes for all projects based on their scope, requirements, and the complexity of each topic and project.
My rates are value-based, which means clients pay for the value and ROI of a project—not the time or the exact word count it takes to create it.
Clients don’t hire me because they’re looking for the cheapest content strategy consultant or creator. They hire me because:
- They want strategies and content they can use to produce business results and a return on their investment (ROI).
- They care about the quality of their content, and they know it’s a reflection of their brand.
- They have high standards for the content they put in front of their customers, prospects, partners, influencers, board members, current and future investors, and anyone else who comes across it.
- They want well-done, professional work they won’t have to re-do themselves.
- They know I have the expertise, experience, and skills to deliver high-quality work that will meet their needs—effectively and efficiently.
General rates
Before we start any work, we’ll create a project scope to meet your needs, budget, and timeline. For reference, here are some starting points for some of my rates.
- Content strategy packages start at $5,000/mo. for 3 months.
- Writing projects start at $1,000.
- Copy editing starts at $650.
- All clients commit to a $3,000 minimum monthly workload.
- I also offer tiered bundled rates for all services (1 quarter minimum).
Working with me, you won’t be nickel-and-dimed over a project’s word count, nor will you have to worry about the hours racking up beyond what you planned for or can afford. And you’ll receive quality work, on budget, and in a timely, professional manner.
