I am helping a friend figure out the price to add to her first sales page that promotes her copywriting services.

What price point did you use for your copywriting services when you first started out?

  • I wrote an email for $20 as a WSO.

    Then again, it's easier to drop your prices than increase them, so don't sell yourself short. Ask her how much she's willing to work right now, how many salesletters she can finish in that time, and how much she needs to pay the bills plus a couple hundred dollars in business and marketing expenses. Divide her required income by the number of pieces she's willing to produce in a month, and you have your number.

    Avoid working for peanuts, it's a hard trap to get out of...

    • And as a side note, make sure to differentiate yourself. Don't just say "I write copy, so hire me because I'll make you money". Everybody says that, so if you jump on the bandwagon you'll end up competing on price. Figure out what makes her unique as a copywriter, and use that to her advantage.

  • This is great advice. Thank you all for your help. I, too am expanding my writing services to include copywriting, so this information will be beneficial for the both of us.
