Frequently asked questions
Why do sales page copywriters charge so much?
A well-written sales page can generate tens of thousands of dollars in revenue. When you're charging $5,000 for a page that drives $200,000 in sales, the ROI is obvious. Price yourself relative to the value created, not the hours worked.
Should I charge a royalty or performance bonus for sales page copy?
Experienced direct-response copywriters often negotiate 1–5% royalties on revenue generated. For newer copywriters, performance bonuses (e.g., $1,000 extra if the page beats a benchmark) are a lower-risk way to add upside.
How long does it take to write a sales page?
A thorough process takes 2–4 weeks: 1 week for research and customer interviews, 1 week for writing, and 1–2 weeks for revisions. Rush timelines are legitimate reasons to charge a 25–50% premium.
What separates a $2,500 sales page from a $10,000 one?
Research depth, proven conversion track record, strategic sophistication, and the writer's ability to independently diagnose what the offer needs — not just execute a brief. Experienced copywriters bring insights clients can't generate internally.
