Editor Payments : $ How Much ?

Discussion in 'Directories' started by DownUnder, Oct 4, 2007.

    After a little advice please, My plans are to put some editors on to work within the directory, my question what is the correct amount to pay them ? Do they work on a % of the submission rate or a set $ per hour system, and or which method is better.

    Also in understanding that if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, so to avoid this what is a fair and reasonable figure to pay to avoid monkeys and get quality dedicted people.

    Any help or advice would be great.

    perhaps $0.75-$2.5 per site. Depending on how much they write and how well they edit

    I normally pay $300 per week for a part time skilled editor.

    That would be giving out information to the public I don’t share but I will say they pay for their salary in less than a day at WoW.

    I can still accommodate a couple or three in my schedules. You can send me some sites that I could edit as credentials. Can send you my rates too or send me a proposition.

    I have no need for editors at this time and we do not hire editors with poor English skills.

    Sent you a pm and if you want to do one free to build up credentials I can let you do one of my sites;)

    ok this is Alakazam prices My rates are 15% of any submitions once hired ; $2.50 of site added/edit into the directory for quality content.

    Give me some 10 examples of a site that is already listed and would edit it for free.
