Frequently Asked Questions

What are your rates?

I only work via monthly engagement. We’ll work out together what that entails, but I can say a minimum cost is $3k/month. 

What size companies do you work for? And where?

I dislike putting a “size” on a potential client. I’ve seen 5-person companies do $20mm annually. That stated, a great majority of my clients employ between 10 and 500 people. 

What industries do you write for?

All of em’…

Really – I’ve written for everything from (deep breath)… manufacturing to marketing to real estate to insurance to financing and investing to in-home healthcare to fire safety to retail sales to IT services to construction to international medical equipment distributors to a guy selling “holy land dirt” from Israel… you get the idea. 

Do I need to pay a deposit? 

Yup. Once we determine how much I’m needed, we’ll agree on a monthly fee. You will pay one month immediately, which will also serve as your last month’s payment at the end of our engagement (whenever that is). 

How long will you work for me?

As long as we need. I would ask for at least a six-month commitment from you – it’s difficult to get any traction in less time than that.

Beyond that, it can vary. A year? Two? I don’t like looking more than two years out to be blunt – things change too fast these days. Plus, I am here to teach as well as do. I’ll be with you long after we’re done.  

What if this isn’t working out? 

Quite unlikely. I vet you as much as you vet me. But ok, let’s say we both missed and it’s a bad fit – there’s no contract, so breaking up is easy. 

Someone else said they’ll do similar stuff cheaper. Will you match their price?

Nope.  If you just want a lower price, then hire whoever offered it to you.

Who owns the writing/work you do?

You do. Period. I put this language on my invoice – once you pay me, whatever I did is yours.

Do you make websites or do graphic design?

No, I do not offer these services. I assume you have marketing people or these types of contractors in place. 

Zoom (et al) is great, but can we see you in person?

If you saw my office you’d see why I am reluctant to leave. But sure, we can talk about this.
