Usually the charge is word based. You should make your own conversion, how much do you charge per word, take that and try to estimate the number of words obtainable in a 150 paged novel and then multiply by the amount you charge per word.

I'll go further, most charge $5 per every 700 word. If you're writing withMicrosoft word using a TNR format with size 12 font, then a page will have 300 words. So, basically charge $5 for every 2 page. So, if you divide 150 pages by 2 , you get 75, 75 pages multiplied by $5 will equal $375.

Charge the client $375. It's fair, it's balanced, everybody wins and you can easily explain your fee format.

. That's outrageous. Don't 4get there are people out there who will do it for less..

Funny, how is that an estimate? Are you all right at all? What are they estimating? Please explain with grammatical proof as I have done.

At the emboldened, even an illiterate can easily detect, that that PERSON is merely seeking your opinion, suggestion or advice. There's nothing there to estimate. However, estimation may come in the process of advising that person. If you follow the thread, you will notice that every reasonable person is giving his/her opinion which, I believe, has helped the OP a great deal.

Granted, I do hope you are not mistaking this for an argument as that's far from that. My purpose here is to help people like you who are educationally disadvantaged. I am always here for you. Please feel free to quote me if you encounter any problem regarding this lectures and I will gladly oblige with more copious explanations.

Regards.

It's obvious you quote without going through your posts. Please go through the examples you made, since you can't comprehend the simple definition of ESTIMATE, you will discover that my first claim has been confirmed. I said earlier that for a request to be considered as a solicitation for an estimate, the word ESTIMATE, or member of its grammatical constituents ought to be present, which has been justified. In fact, the entire examples support this claim. Remember I said you CANNOT GIVE AN ESTIMATE FOR SOMETHING VAGUE. You can only give your opinion and make estimate if your explanation requires it. Someone asked you to write a novel, not having a clue of how it works, you seek advice and opinion, not estimate.

The only definition that appears plausible is

Estimate | Definition of Estimate by Merriam-Webster
Merriam-Webster › dictionary › estimate
Definition of estimate for Students. 1 : an opinion or judgment especially of the value or quality of something In my estimate, the product is poorly made. 2 : an approximation of the size or cost of something.

This is because of the presence of opinion in its definition, something I have been emphasising on. But even at that, the presence of value and quality has given it away as far as this context is concerned. The OP isn't asking us to estimate the value of the novel he was hired to write, rather, he's seeking our opinion or advice on how best to handle the situation. That's, how much he can charge. The OP and others are aware that such projects can worth certain amount. They know the estimation of such project. However, due to the settings and circumstances surrounding this project, the OP opened the thread to get the opinion and advise of experts regarding how Fiverr works and the consequences likely to be faced if done otherwise. In other words, the project might end up being done far lower than the so called ESTIMATE AND WORTH OF THE PROJECT because of circumstances. Let's assume that the novel is estimated to worth $900, the OP might end up doing it at a meagre $150 just to beat off competition.

I hope you now understand the difference?

Regards.

Mumu, I'll give u one thing, u never give up, even when it's plain to the whole world u r wrong. Here is a parphrase of the OP's question, maybe it will finally sip into your thick skull: "Someone asked me to write a150-page novel. What is your ESTIMATE of what I should charge them". Now goodbye for real. See u around. No hard feelings

Hahaha, this is very hilarious! Young man, please be frank with yourself, how does the emboldened sound in your ear? Please go through what you have written, I bet you will curse yourself for being such a clueless slowpoke.

Please compare the trash you quoted with the below

"Someone asked me to write a 150-page novel. What is your ADVICE of what I should charge them".

PLEASE COMPARE YOUR STATEMENT WITH MINE AND THEN TELL ME WHICH IS SOUND.

Check yr grammar above. Which of us is illiterate, dummy

teelaw4life:


You try oo. 4k for ten 1,000 word articles. If i charge that amount, trust me, I'd copy-paste majority of the work. There are clients like that though who, if given the chance, would want you to work without asking for payment. It's all about convincing them about the quality of your work and not appearing too desperate.

I was already into the third article before I realized I had made a huge mistake. Yet, I kept on writing. The fact was that I was relieved of my "brokeness" almost immediately I took on the job but I still continued writing, because I had already started. The work quality was top-notch and I'm sure the person cannot get such work quality elsewhere, at least, for that amount.

But all that is past me. It was years ago, when I was still fairly new to the world of writing for money. Then, it's whatever rocks the OP's boat. He just shouldn't get himself into what he cannot finish.
