I am considering to hire a few editors to help me out here and there. Do you have other editors on your directory? If so, what kind of pay are they getting?
I think depends how much time he/she is going to put in approving/reviewing sites. (Review criteria can be different for everyone) Thats a tricky one. If you feel you don't have enough time for the free directory and also you are not getting any benefit from it, its time to change the strategy. Go for something different. (Either make it paid with a small fee or move to a new site)
Wow, I need a new employer. I edit for my husbands directory. He pays me nothing. I do his submissions to other directories too. I'm not paid for that either, plus I use my own paypal account to make payments. Anyone need an experienced editor?
Dam $2 bucks a clip... That does sound pretty nice... hell even for me maybe you should list what you expect these NEW editors to do... Quality control issues as well as writting New descriptions for all approved and such ... Regardless wish you much success ..... thx malcolm
The reason I restated my question to free directories is because for paid ones, you can charge $50 per submission and pay $2 to the editor to approve them. That's very reasonable. Now, if you have a free directory and you pay $2 per approval, how many approvals do your editors make to still leave money in your pocket?
On a free one I did 5 cents per review, so like 2k submissions at 5 cents per isnt bad. Now for paid $2 per. my editor is satisfied.
i only own one dir, so i can manage mines by myself so far but if i were to own a GIANT NETWORK like malcolm i wud need some ... or chris
Slow Down Dude. She is mine. I have editors and they approved/review sites and one of them will be sent to a BOOT CAMP by a SPECIAL REQUEST to assist.
hmm i run some free directories and all i managed myself, have staff members reviewing the submissions
What do you pay for ? Looking at the site (to check whether it's not a porn/gambling/non-family sites) and then click approve ?
