Planning to rise commission prices!
12 months ago
Hello everyone! After careful consideration, I've decided to go over a few changes to my ToS, chiefly where pricing is concerned.
Ever since the last price increment some years ago I've maintained the same value. I think I've been fair with them so far and I plan to continue being fair as well, but I also believe that the level of effort and time I put into writing could use a bit more monetary appreciation. Henceforth, my plan is to change my pricing model.
- Public and particular slots will no longer be proportionately related.
- Public slot prices will go up from $8 a page to $10 a page.
- Particular slot prices will go up from $16 to $18 a page.
These changes will soon be reflected in my official Terms of Services for everyone to see, and they will be effective starting on 2025. It's difficult for me to feel like I deserve charging more for my writing, even with over 15 years of experience and over a decade of charging for my services. But I'd like to keep my motivation up and also be able to turn this into a more reliable source of income for my off-season. Eat and be able to generally stay alive, in other words. It's my hope clients both old and new find these changes fair and agreeable.
Now, I'd like to address the fact that I haven't opened pub slots at all this year.
The truth is, I haven't been compelled to; in large part due to the high demand I've had from particular customers and the relatively large projects they bring to me. I feel comfortable with this mode of work. This is why the increase in price for particular is smaller than pubs; as a way to acknowledge particular client's additional monetary effort.
In short: The price increase is to compel me to want to work more as a writer on demand, while at the same time having a better appraisal of my time and effort.
With transparency out of the way, my availability wanes starting this month. I know I have people interested in more particular slots, and I am keeping a list so that I don't forget. But as usual, I will be creatively impeded by my summer job which will hold me hostage until the later part of April. I'm as always thankful for people's patience. I'll give particular customers priority and contact them in order come my time of freedom from this job.
Thanks for reading, everybody. And thanks especially to my ever faithful client base. Patrons like you allow me to work off my skills and passion during the off-season. I hope we can continue doing business in the future!
