If you\u2019re looking for freelance writing rates,\u00a0<\/strong>it\u2019s a good bet you\u2019re looking to hire a freelance writer.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s a better bet you\u2019re concerned about how much they cost.<\/p>\n

Well, the good news is they cost less than hiring a pancake bar. (We\u2019re not sure if such a thing as a pancake bar exists, but it probably should \u2018cause, you know, pancakes.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The better news is: not all writers are created equal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is this better news?<\/strong> Because when you use a service like Media Shower you can bypass all of the cut-rate writers who might look good on a balance sheet, but not so much when it comes to driving new business to your business.<\/p>\n

Think about it. If you\u2019re going in for heart surgery, are you shopping based on price or the number of patients who can still dance the polka a year later?<\/p>\n

Good writing has a rhythm and a flow. It engages the reader and doesn\u2019t let them go until they reach your call to action.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good writing also brings its own positive feedback loop. It brings more people to your site. Who stay longer. And buy more of what you\u2019re selling. Which Google notices. Which increases your SEO ranking. Which brings more people to your site.<\/p>\n

And from there it\u2019s turtles all the way down, or rather, up.<\/p>\n

Freelance Writers<\/h3>\n

A variety of factors\u2014experience, specialization, where they live, etc.\u2014will determine how much a freelancer charges. A freelancer who looks at the work as more of a \u201cside hustle\u201d will obviously charge less than someone who\u2019s tussled in the Madison Avenue trenches.<\/p>\n

In general, you get what you pay for, but that doesn\u2019t mean the part-time writer is a worse choice. If you have a travel business and the part-timer has diamond elite status with a dozen airlines, they\u2019re likely a better fit than a six-figure copywriter who eats, sleeps, and breathes trading on the forex market.<\/p>\n

As with hiring anyone, you\u2019ll need a resume, references, and samples of their past work.<\/p>\n

Some average sample rates:<\/p>\n
