Buzzwords’ Terms and Conditions 2017
Buzzwords’ approach to copywriting rates is highly flexible and draws on some of the methods described here…
Or you may be a business owner or marketing person looking to get a feel for copywriting rates in general. In all cases, you’re likely to be disappointed! Very few copywriters publicise their rates.
EXCEPT BUZZWORDS…
To help anyone looking to get a handle on copywriting rates, the various ways of pricing include: hourly rates; day rates; rates per job; ‘per page’ rates for website or SEO copywriting; a fixed cost per word; or a regular retainer fee (usually monthly).
Finally, the retainer fee – usually charged monthly, but sometimes quarterly or even as an annual contract (although this is more akin to a salary and therefore rare). Retainers are usually suitable where the work is ongoing, as with PR or SEO copywriting. Hourly rates would be too cumbersome to work out, and the eventual cost on a pro rata basis could be sky high! The way retainers work is for the two parties to agree an approximate number of days required to do the work in an average month. Again, this has the benefit of financial predictability. Another highly valuable side-effect of retainers is that the client will be committed to making the relationship work whilst at the same time squeezing as much value out of the copywriter as is reasonably possible! From the copywriter’s perspective, the regular income will be greatly valued so there will be an ongoing commitment to the client’s business and delivering value for money.
