How Much Do Freelance Writing Services Cost?

How much you should pay for Freelance Writing Services depends amongst others on the reason why you need a Freelance Writer. Also, determining the average fees charged for Freelance Writing Services is very hard to assess as it depends on so many factors and circumstances. Usually, Freelance Writing Services are charged per project, by the hour, or per page. Factors that affect the overall rate charged, include the region where the Freelance Writer is located, the experience level, the type of clients or markets served and last but not least what kind of Freelance Writing Services are being provided which can be a more standardized routine kind of work or highly specialized work.

For example, Web Content for a simple company website may be written by a freelance content writer based in India for less than USD 10 per hour while the typical fees involved for Script Writing by a Freelance Writer can easily exceed USD 20,000 for the whole project.

Not Sure Whether to Hire a Freelancer, Advisor or a Firm for Writing Services Needed?

This is not a simple question to answer and depends on a lot of factors. First of all, it depends on your needs and the type of work to be done. Your available budget may play a role but should not be decisive because freelancers have a reputation to be relatively cheap while firms tend to be more expensive, but the same can apply vice versa. As for the quality of work, this fully depends on the freelancers and consultants/firms you hire. A freelancer may provide better quality work in half the time than that a firm could do. But, again the same could be vice versa. Furthermore, each of these service providers come with their own pro's and con's.

A Freelancer performs its Freelance Writing Services independently, selling work or services by the hour, day or job. Both parties involved have no intention to establish a long-term structural working relationship with each other. Often freelancers worked as a consultant for firms in their field of expertise, and at some point, in their career, they decided to do the same as they did but then via the freelancing route.

An employed Writing Consultant is a person who is paid to provide professional or expert advice in a particular field or specialty, who is employed by a Writing & Translation Company whose business is to provide these Writing & Translation Services via its Writing & Translation Consultants.

Professional service firms, like Writing & Translation Companies, exist in many different industries. They include tax advisors, lawyers, marketing professionals, management consultants, and web developers among others. They can be any firm that offers customized, knowledge-based services to clients. When clients hire these type of advisory firms, they generally do so because of that company's credibility and reputation.

It is common knowledge that a business is only as good as its people. So with that in mind, a good starting point is to try to find the best person for the job first, and this can be a freelancer, a particular employed consultant, or a firm that has specialized in the field you are looking for.

Finally, the good news is that you can search for all types of Writing & Translation Services on our platform (Freelance Writers & Translators, Writing & Translation Consultants, and Writing & Translation Agencies) and compare them on the criteria that are relevant for you. Find out how it works.

Independents in the Writing & Translation Industry

Our platform focuses on independents in the Professional Services Industry, including independent Freelance Writers. In general, Independents are independent firms that are owner operated, they tend to work in their own country only and the bigger the standalone business is, the more different types of services provided. Boutique firm or agency is also a commonly used name for these types of entrepreneurial businesses. They tend to provide highly specialized niche services, but they may very well also directly compete with the major international firms in their industry. Strictly speaking, freelancers also qualify as Independents.

It happens very often that experienced senior professionals break away from the major players that hired them to set up their own independent firm and start a more entrepreneurial journey. Besides autonomy and more control, the ability to better define personal purpose is a typical driver to work for Independents or to start one yourself.

Due to their size, market power, and marketing budgets, larger international firms are usually easily found in the market. Small independent types of businesses do not have this luxury, and as such, they need to be more creative to find new work on a continuous basis. Using platforms like Consultants 500 is a perfect way to create extra opportunities because our primary focus and purpose are to help clients find independents in the Professional Services Industry, including an independent Freelance Writer.
