How Much Does A Copywriter Cost?
Learn why costs vary so much and how a copywriter decides on their price.
How much is a piece of string?
I know, it is a cliche but it is really relevant.
Creative design industries like copywriting are notoriously undervalued for their processes and that is why many businesses will baulk a little at the quotes they receive.
I have had colleagues charge as much as €2000 for a single landing page and others charge as little as €250.
Some copywriters will charge per hour but this can make it really hard to judge your final costs as a client.
Projects notoriously run over time, need more edits than first thought and the discovery/research portions of most copy projects take up far more time than you may realise.
That’s why I charge per project.
This way you know what you are paying, you can budget properly and don’t have to worry about any nasty surprises on invoice day.
So, Why Do Copywriting Fees Vary So Much?
There are a few things that influence the final project quotes.
Such as:
How much research you have already done on your target audience
How many edits you may need
The volume of work required
Whether you need specialist knowledge from your copywriter
The number of years of experience your copywriter has in the biz
How quickly do you need your copy turned around
Each project is incredibly individual as a client, this is why I will always tell anyone who will listen to be a little wary of copywriters who sell flat fee packages that don’t alter in cost.
Yes, it’s great to see a package cost on a copywriter's website without even having to talk to them but you are likely dabbling with a copywriter who has yet to understand the nuances each project brings and how custom they need to be.
How Much Do I Cost As A Copywriter?
Oooh, you do love to ask tricky questions.
I honestly can’t give you a concrete quote unless I know your industry, what you need from me, and how much time you have for me to work my magic.
And this is just minimum info.

Are Copywriters Worth The Money?
Am I really the one to ask? Because you are going to get a very biased opinion here.
I have to say yes, of course, copywriters are worth the money and then some.
Look at it this way, say you have paid me €500 to create slick and engaging landing page copy for your business, and within two weeks your organic traffic has skyrocketed and your organic sales have picked up just the way you had hoped.
Well, you have already made your money back and then some.
Plus, the benefit of having a copywriter at your fingertips is that you won’t have to spend valuable time trying to craft copy that attracts your intended audiences and gets them to take the action you desire.
Copywriters save you time, make you money, and help you craft your business voice with very little effort from you.
