Just looking for other opinions. I was approached to write a review for a website related to my blog. We are now discusing compensation and I was asked what I normally charge. The problem is that this is the first oppourtunity I've had to review a website so I have no idea what is a reasonable price to ask. The website I am reviewing is a large custom card/stationary website. Should I be looking at 5$, 10$, 20$, 50$? Can someone give me an idea what a blog post reviewing a website is worth so I can at least be in the same ball park? Thanks,
It depends on your site metrics. What kind of pagerank do you have? How old is your site? Do you get good traffic? Is your post likely to drive a fair amount of traffic to their site and result in sales for them? Tough to give an answer without knowing anything about the site.
My blog is fairly new (few months) and I am not going to lie, I don't see a huge amount of traffic being generated for them from my blog. I am assuming they would know that (or maybe not?) so I don't want to totally high ball them and have them change their mind.
It also depends on your niche. If you had one of the few good blogs in your niche ( I've got no clue in what state the stationery/printing niche currently is), you could charge more. You could have a look at the Reviewme Marketplace- ( @reviewme.com) to get a rough idea as how much you ought to charge. Bear in mind that those are market rates, and not wholesale rates. Scale it down a bit, and you'll probably be able to arrive upon a price.
Well,they didn't give you a price?Maybe you should not care too much on the price since you haven't done it before.Experience is more important.When you become famous in that area,you will naturally gain more.
Well, I would probably sell a review for $15 if they're not from DigitalPoint. If yes, then maybe you should lower your price and quote them $5 - $10 per blogpost.
