    How much do description writers charge?

    I have a database of around 5000 galleries. I need them categorized into 50 predefined categories, descriptions and image count. How much would it cost me if I should pay someone to do it? How much would it cost if I only need the galleries categorized?

    It depends on whether you hire a good writer or not.

      Getting the galleries categorized is most important for me. I can do around 200 galleries per hour myself, so that would be 25 hours of work. It doesn't take any special skills to put galleries into predefined categories.

      Writing descriptions and counting images of course is more demanding and time consuming. I would estimate 50-75 hours of work.

        It depends on what you want. A good writer or a fast writer. Or, a fast writer who is good.

        Cheeky Marie is tops, as am I.

            Yes, that's out of line.

            Pay these people what they are worth.

            Burger flippers make more than what you are offering. That's a fucking insult to these people.

                I can't remember where I saw it, but someone will do descriptions for 8cents per. I think it was one of those offshore outsourcing outfits.

                    Thanks, Tala...you're right...I should have mentioned both you and Coy as writers of quality.

                    I guess it all depends on what people want.

                      8 cents per description is 8 dollars per hour if you can do 100 descriptions per hour. For descriptions I would need a person with english as native language, so maybe 8$ per hour is too low. But for sorting galleries into categories, I need somebody with a computer and a connection to the Internet, that's it. I'm not looking for someone with a ph.d. degree. As far as I know 5$ per hour would be a pretty fair salary for a guy from the Philipines or India.

                        Both have their place, but when quality counts, then it must be paid for accordingly. I'm going to gather a list of people who write and kinda tack it someplace on my site for questions like this. Maybe a "Writer Referral" list that I can just post for folks.

                        Or has that already been done??

                                  Probably. But I was accused of insulting description writers by offering 5-8 dollars per hour. Then I see a post that I can get descriptions for 8 cents per gallery. So I did a little math. If you can do 200 per hour of course it's 16$ per hour.

                                    I don't remember who it was now...but someone wanted 10k three to four word descriptions for a tgp or something and thought *I* was crazy for offering to do them for ONE DOLLAR per description. I thought I was crazy for offering.

                                    I am so tired of quality writers being treated like the McDonalds pay scale of the industry.

                                    Words. Graphics. Gotta have both.

                                            think about what you want, Meadint. you want each description to be unique. you want each one to be clicky. you want each description to tell something about the gallery. and you want all that @100 per hour @ eight dollars an hour.
                                            I get the point: 8 cents per description for shitty descriptions and way much more for clicky descriptions. That answers the first part of my question.

                                            Now for the second part. What would a reasonable price be if I only want the galleries sorted into 50 predefined categories? No descriptions, no picture count, just sorting the galleries.

                                            Would 5-8$ per hour be an insult?

                                                Why would you need a writer to sort galleries into predefined categories?

                                                By the way, do YOU work for 5-8 dollars an hour?

                                                    If you're just sorting galleries, no writing involved, then you don't need a writer, and I suggest you talk to $5 submissions about that, he might know someone who can do it for you.

                                                    I understand you needing to do stuff cheaply, but what you're wanting to pay is quite frankly ridiculously low for a writer. Sorry.

Right now I'm trying to decide if I should get my galleries categorized AND described, or if I should skip the descriptions. Categories are need to have for my sites - descriptions are nice to have.

I need them categorized into 50 predefined categories, descriptions and image count. How much would it cost me if I should pay someone to do it? How much would it cost if I only need the galleries categorized?
