So how much does it cost to hire a freelance writer?

March 7, 2013 - PRLog -- “Writing Can Be Such A Tough Business”, the blog from Craig Martin Business Writing (http://CMBW.us), is focused on explaining the freelance industry to small business owners who may not know much about it. The blog also touches upon issues that face freelancers as well.

“It shows a different angle of a freelance writer's perspective,” explained Craig Martin, owner of CMBW. “Instead of giving an idea that a freelance writer just sits behind a desk and rakes in the money, I wanted to show fellow writers and tell small business owners how the writing business is not that easy.”

The blog that asks “how much does it cost to hire a freelancer?” - http://cmbw.us/blog/how-much-to-hire-a-freelance-writer/ - is currently the most-read blog entry, which implies that potential clients and business owners need to know this information, not just guess the answer. Some clients estimate higher, but a growing number of clients ignore the fact that a professional freelance writer has a significant skill set that cannot be easily duplicated on a whim.

“I wrote this piece to inform business owners that writing is an art form, a craft and a skill that shouldn't be taken lightly,” Craig explained, then facetiously asked: “If that's the case, then lawyers should draft documents for the same price you're offering to a professional freelance writer, correct?”

Craig Martin Business Writing has two specialties: content marketing and ghostwriting services. As a former newspaper reporter and a travel writer, Craig Martin has the experience and skills for today's challenges as a freelance writer.

"Editing, layout, proofreading, revisions and design aren't always that simple, even with computer assistance,” he states. “A lot of work takes place in a freelance writer's head as a draft is being created or before the completed material gets posted on a website.”
