New Writer - Article Pricing Questions
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:15 pm
Hello All,
I am new to Constant Content and I'm very confused about the best way to price my articles. So far I've been adhering to the CC price ranges that show up when you are submitting an article and you click on "typical prices for selling content." But I have been reading the boards and noticed that some CC writers say that articles rarely sell more than once, so they price their articles the same for all three uses (usage, unique, full rights) so that they get paid a fair amount for each article. So far most of the articles I've written have been a bit lengthy and labor intensive so I like this idea, but if articles do often sell more than once I'd be okay having a less expensive fee for the usage and unique prices. I guess the bottom line is I'm afraid of pricing so high that I turn off potential buyers, but also afraid of pricing so low that I'm not getting paid a fair amount for my efforts. So if there are any experienced CC writers out there who could weigh in on this, I would really appreciate it. Specifically I'm interested in hearing:
1. Have you often sold the same article on CC more than once?
2. How do you determine your prices? Do you use the CC price ranges or some other way?
Thanks in advance. Any insight is greatly appreciated as I have much to learn!
