This is a really general question that nobody will be able to give a definitive answer to. Maybe if you elaborate on what you are actually looking for someone can give you estimates - but keep in mind that prices vary from writer to writer. Some may charge you $100 while others could charge $10,000! Browse through the section, because this has been covered extensively. I'm sure you will be able to find as much information as you could ever want.
I always believe that a good copy write up will bring good image to the company. unfortunely, in my place is not easy to get a good copy writer.
You won't find too many of the top dollar copywriters going through this forum. You'll find things much less expensive on this forum, but for the best copywriting, expect to pay premium rates.
I agree that good writers should be paid well for their effort, but I also feel that folks on a tight budget deserve good writing too. I think you have to try to find reasonable middle ground, based on the individual assignment.
Depends on the following: # of words How much original research is involved Any format requirements Any special instructions (ie., what to discuss, what not to discuss, what slant to take, etc)
It was not very clear to me whether you want to hire a copywriter or you want to assess your position of being so. There is no general rule for the compensation you should offer to a copywriter. You may find somebody who is willing to write for you for 1.5$ for 500 words. Again there are some copywriters who may charge even $ 0.1 per word. Hope it clears your query.
