How much to pay an editor?

Hello there

I have a few directories, and I'm thinking about hiring an editor for boatdir.com to save me some time.

How much should I pay him?

He should go to sites, add them to categories and add a description according to the about us section or the meta description of that site.

What would be the fee for that?

 

If I was an editor.. I'd do 50 pages for $250

 

how many links per page?

 

I pay editors for each link added, but it will depend how hard it is to find the sites.

If it's just approving submissions i would pay 20 cents each, thats around 10$ per hour if you work at a good speed.

 

Well, for sites like boatdir.com loadmove.com and findhd.com - how much should I pay the person to find the site and add it?

I'll validate it later...

Sites are very easy to find..

Also - where can I find such an editor

Thanks

 

One link every 61 or so seconds?

I need to hire them too. Seriously.

 

IF you want just sheer quantity then hire someone cheap but if you want quality links you need to pay a little more.

It takes time to search for good sites to add to a directory. I think a fair rate is $1.00 to $2.00 per site if the descriptions are unique and are a decent length. Kepp in mind you will also need to give this person feedback on there work. If you are paying someone cheap they won't value the job as much.

 

I was offered $0.5 per site added to a directory and found that if it involved searching plus selecting plus writing meaningful title and description etc, one could do only about 7 an hour. So, I did not touch it after the initial test. I think that it has to be at least $1 an entry.

 

I would find someone in somewhere like paraguay or where the average wage is $150 a month or something and give em $200 and let them work on it full time. It will take a little while to get up to speed anyway

 

OK, I found some people to do it for :

$10 for 50 sites added.

 

I guess you are going for quantity not quality.

 

That;s a good price you got.

 

Actually they are very good posters, some 19 and 20 year old kids who are looking for ways to make easy money, saves me a lot of time - strongly recommended, don't know why I havn't done this so far.
