Web Content: How Much Should I Pay?
When web content gets discussed on webmaster bulletin boards, the most common question is, "how much should I pay?" That question is both perfectly logical, and perfectly stupid:
Calculating Your Web Content's Value Ultimately, your web content is the one part of your site that makes you money. The code, design, and even traffic, while important, are not what ultimately get a visitor to take action. You have to tell or ask visitors to take action. Telling and asking take words. Small changes in your web content can make big differences in the bottom line. Take a look: Advertising/affiliate revenue Let's say you have a web page that averages $25/day in revenue from advertising and/or affiliate links. You have a professional writer optimize the content on the page to get more clicks. Watch what happens: Keep in mind, that's only the additional revenue you get from the improved content compared with what you were getting already from your work. No extra work needed. Sales/leads model If your website is a promotional vehicle for a business, the results can be even more spectacular. If a page nets you $500/day in sales or leads, website content improvements that increase your sales or leads by 20% will pay for themselves within a month, if not a week. In reality, if your current content is really weak, the improvement is likely to be even more spectacular. Traditionally, overhauling bad sales writing doubles or even triples the response rate. The best part of all this is the advantage you'll gain over the competition, with so many website owners in the dark about their content. If you are earning 20% more than the competition on the same advertising or promotion expense, you will ultimately carry the day. Making a Content Investment Now, back to price. What would you expect to invest to see a $6570 return? Writer's Market, the blue book of professional writer fees, says web content averages $300/page, which would mean a 2000+% return on investment. But you can actually get away with paying only half that if you don't need research or meetings-the biggest time-sucks when it comes to creative projects. If you order content in bulk, you'll likely get an even steeper discount. Why not see for yourself what kind of an improvement professional writing can make on your site's revenue? Every day you wait is another day of lost revenue-and why should you be content with that? About the author Joel Walsh is the head content writer for UpMarket Content.
