Whats a fair price to rewrite 10,000 video titles + descriptions?
 

Whats a fair price to rewrite 10,000 video titles and descriptions? Its for a large tube site, so the title and description can be really short. Theres no need to watch any of the clips as they already have a title/description but i need it rewritten again for another site..
Something like $500 sounds reasonable?

Which tube did you rip?

Yours.

Any serious replies?

I would make sure you pay well, or you will have to pay to get it redone later.

I am just working with a new client, and all their FHG descriptions are written by someone cheap, who didn't have English as a first language and it shows.

$500 is very very very cheap. You planning on getting it done in India?

:2 cents::thumbsup

Besides some Indians no one will do it for under $2K, IMO

He should. It will be 100 bucks and done twice as good most likely.

I would split it up across a few different people so you aren't depending on one. That's a lot of videos, someone might bail after 1000 and then you'll have to start all over again. Price will also depend on the length of description that you want.

Yes, for 500 it will be done 'twice as good'

However, if he pays a fair price he can get someone to do it 'twice as well'

Almost correct English is not correct English, and you can be sure Google knows the difference between the two.
It may sound small and petty... Now, multiply errors much worse by 10,000 videos
Throw in the fact that you hired a bottom feeder likely to copy/paste or spin text from other sources etc...

The likely result is you waste 500 and then hire someone to do it correctly for at least 5x that amount.
Doing it right the first time also means not having your site indexed as garbage to begin with and spending months trying to overcome an already poor impression.

EngineFood.com has supplied hundreds of thousands of scene descriptions for very happy clients.
You get what you pay for...

Say with title and description you average 20 words per video. That is 200k words, my guess is if you want someone decent It will cost min $2k. You might get a Indian taker for $1k though since bigger jobs like these are harder to come by for content writers.

well, cheapest writers I know (native English speakers) charge 1c/word... so let's say

video title - 5 words each; short desc. - 25 words per video... 30 words in total per video

30*10,000*0.01 = ($)3,000

I got screwed over here recently. I paid someone 300 bucks for a good amount of screenshots i needed. It translated to 10+ dollar per hour. The guy messed up and dissapeared with my money.

I then did it the correct way, i hired an asian guy with loads of good feedback, didn't pay him upfront plus i was able see his daily progress. I gave him i think 3 times the amount of movies that i gave the other guy. He did them perfectly for a fifth or so of the original amount.

Yes, but you didn't hire a color-blind guy with one eye to do your video work. Try and find someone who is a native English speaker with a very good understanding of SEO text and 'loads of good feedback' who is willing to write 10,000 complete video texts for $500.00 total. If you do, send me their name, I will gladly hire him them as well. Until then, you are speaking without thinking. :2 cents:

I bid $1 Dollar ! Sold !

Hey, i'm not saying it's easy. I'm just saying it's far from impossible and well worth spending some time finding someone.

One of my blog writers is from Asia, speaks near perfect English (better than most people here, that's for sure), knows a lot about SEO and she works for roughly 1 dollar per hour.
She could do that job for less than 500. And no, there is no way i'm sharing her info :)

Get her to do it, and fuck off then.

i'll even come to your house and shine all your shoes. fuck, make it .99 !

If that person has Internet access, actually understands SEO and can speak English fluently, how do they not know they are being paid slave wages? I find it hard to believe you found someone bright enough to understand SEO, literate enough to write thousands of intelligible blog posts and yet, also stupid enough to work for only a tiny fraction of what their time is worth on the open market - on a consistent enough basis to be worthy of the effort it took for you to find them in the first place.

Ok, then i must be lying.

Send me a mail to webmaster + fdsign + com , we're doing something similar right now, so if you can wait a week or so we can accommodate you. Just in case, and to save time, it won't cost you $500 if that's the price tag you're looking for.

$1 per hour? So she will work full-time 8 hours a day 5 day's a week for ~$160 a month? :helpme

if you still need help hit me up on icq or email and i am sure we can work something out for...see sig for contact info

Set it so the surfer has to write a description of at least X words before they can see the next video. :)

There are countries where 1 dollar per hour is the same as 10 dollars per hour somewhere else. And where it's hard to find a decent job in the first place.

Youtube has the best system, half the comments are people just describing what's in the video.

Which makes great sense if you want to hire a cheap bricklayer. However, once the person is on the internet, capable of reading/writing in fluent English and internet savvy enough to understand SEO... it becomes a lot easier for them to earn substantially more money from a wide variety of places. Either the person you are mentioning doesn't exist, or the person you are mentioning is the biggest fool on the internet and you are trusting them to generate truly original content across your sites.

Best of Luck.

Does not compute...

$10,000 minimum.

20x2 descriptions for $1 ?
You are kidding

Post job on http://fiverr.com/ ...

:2 cents:

$500? Seriously? 10,000? No way are you going to get quality work for that amount of money, but most likely if you think you can, you would not know the difference between crap and quality and there is no way you would check all 10k anyhow.

If you can get someone to do it for $.50/ea you would be doing well.

:thumbsup

Because they're too fucking stupid to do anything on their own, you have to tell them what to do.

I have a guy from India writing articles for me. He showed me his "website" that he was proud of. 6 articles and hosted on blogspot.

Yes I know but just like someone pointed out above if she is fluent in English and has seo skills you must keep her ina cage or something to not do work for more money :upsidedow

At one a minute, 10,000 would be 166.6 hours.

i would expect it to cost at least 1k for someone that understands English

You mean you would not work a month of 40 hour work weeks at $25/week?

$6k sounds reasonable imo

So this is pretty much a 1 month full-time job. Fuck I'd shoot myself if I knew I had 30 day's of 8 hour a day typing 1 video description a minute coming up in March :upsidedow

I love people that do It though :thumbsup

is that a trick question ?

I have a pressing need for cash so I'll do it for 1000$, I'd need half up front, and I can send you updated daily progress. Contact me at hentaikid at gmail.com

Drysky,

Nicky, Zdeneczek and Denny are correct in the range being quoted. Non-native English writer will accept close to $2500 - 3200 USD when properly negotiated. It works out to a fairly low wage for someone who can still get the job done correctly, and only in places like Eastern Europe, South America, and PI.

Some jobs can be outsourced to the Chinese and Indians, but not this.

Good luck!

I would say, $6000

This is the best advise.

:thumbsup

still fighting over scraps with the 3rd world I see.:1orglaugh


I love bottom rungers explaining how important picking up dog shit really is.

split it up like Sly suggested
10k videos that is a lot of descriptions...you will just get the same regurgitated crap after awhile

$500 for 10,000 titles+descriptions comes down to $0.05 each. I can imagine any of the writers that charge $0.01 per word doing it, but you'd be getting a 5 word title at best, and forget about a description to go with it.

If somebody is willing to go as low as $0.01 per word maybe they would be willing to give you 5-10 words on a title or a description just to get the job, but it'd still be pretty hard for you to get both a title and a description in that price range.

We can do it for $7 500..

PS You're never gonna find anyone to do that amount of work for $500
