We charge between $300 and $600 a month. Breaks down to about $150 a blog post. Keyword analysis + content calendar are included in the price.

Starts at $300/mo for two posts, a content calendar, and a keyword analysis. Goes up to $600/mo for four posts a month + the content cal and the keyword analysis. We actually aren't close to agency prices. We've internally grappled if we should make them public or not though.

These are all good questions and thoughts to think about as we're moving forward with our value proposition. We do have content marketing experience but not tons. But from our startup experience, we've found that startups don't need TONS of experience. They need content and they need to put that content in the right places. It's not as intense when you're at that stage.

This is 100% spot on. 1000% spot on, really. We aren't done with the idea of displaying prices though. We might go back to it. But for now, this is what we're going with.

Thank you for this. I am going to go back and edit the site. I didn't realize how many errors there were if it weren't for HN. So thank you for showing me that there's more to edit and for the tip.

We pay writers $50 per 700-word post. We'd like to raise that amount, to be honest, but it's all we can swing right now.

I need to go back to check our website. I'm sure there are errors. I only have two hands and there is so much to do. BUT, this isn't an excuse. I will go back and proofread the site. Thank you for your comment.

Hey there. Good find in the blog post. I'll be dead honest here. I had rent to pay that month and bills to pay. We thought we were being bold by making that claim, but in reality, it killed our sales process. Leads come in in double digits, not in the dozens. It was a bad decision, and I own up to it 100%. I should probably make the blog post unlisted.

Thank you for your question. Let me know if you have any more questions.

(crashing your browser) - I'm sorry about that. I'm not VERY technical but i'll see what I can do here.

(Signing Up) Writers can sign up at - www.publoft.com/marketplace

(Prices) We've been back and forth about making them public or not. Right now we're testing the "not". It ranges from $300-$600 per month.

(grammar)- I will go back and double check. Im sure they are right. As a one-man show, I can only catch so much, but this is inexcusable.

(Skeptical)....Curious how does it look controlling to you? It isn't supposed to come off like that. Actually the opposite, so i'm curious.

Thank you for the feedback. I really do appreciate it and value it. Hopefully, I cleared some of your questions up.
