Fixing prices for product is not a straight jacketed thought. A lot of indexes are brought to bear. My advice is to visit www.facebook.com/Tconsult96065 where you can ask your question and expert will provide answer almost immediately. |

ThatCEO: You're absolutely accurate. It's a surprise he got an interview sef...because i checked out the link to his gig and it's fresh as a fish out of water. I'm not going to lie, i haven't written a 150-paged novel for any client before, just short articles and stuff, but what I'd expect him to ask for given what he'll charge the client is time, time and more time. This is to allow him think properly and possibly get in touch with his creative muse. He should do everything to get the order though. The first order is always the breakthrough . |

Mobsync: Probably increase it to $400 maybe. The competition on fiverr is unreal and if the client was looking for expensive writers, trust me he wouldn't be on fiverr in the first place. I'm sure the client is interviewing at least 3 other people who would be willing to charge a fee lower than the amount i quoted. It's about striking a balance. Given how fresh his gig is without any review, it's very obvious that the client isn't going to be expecting a huge charge like, otherwise he would have contacted a top selling writer. 1 Like |

mrphysics: If he can do it, why reject it? Yes, he should probably have started with short articles but hey, he got an order on a very fresh gig. That's all that matters. He should focus on building his base, the time when he'll charge whatever he wants will come. |

kally90:you have not succeeded on fiverr , because you have not managed a fiverr account well enough. 1.patience (very compulsory) 2.always check for fresh orders and make sure you bid for as many as possible 3.get a well written "offer quote" 4. there's a secret that can actually change your story ( it has to do with your profile, and you may have to Polish it in a way that tends to overrating your skills, disguising your identity and nationality 5.do your best to execute orders (when they come) perfectly. 6.always think positively (you may not believe it but it works) I had problems with freelancing sites too, but with some advice and techniques shown to me by a good colleague, I opened a new fiverr account and got my first order in about 3weeks after opening. try my advice.

The Op should listen to what @THECEO said, he just gave him the best advice so far. My own take is that, the op being a new seller on fiverr should be careful with this job. It could counterproductive & mar your experience as a newbie. Consider the fact that the buyer holds the aces, what if he rejects it when you're done, on the premise that its not up to scratch? All your efforts & time will become wasted & you'll be demoralized to even continue. The buyer knows you're a rookie on fiverr without reputation (positive reviews), your gig will be prematurely destroyed if he grudgingly accepts your work and goes ahead to give you a "one star". Price should not be your priority now, reputation should. I'm not saying you should accept slave wages either, just be relatively cheap for now. If you must do the job, WRITE THE FIRST COUPLE OF PAGES & SHOW IT TO HIM, IF HE IS SATISFIED, THEN YOU CAN GO AHEAD WITH THE REST. I once wrote a Biography (50k words) for someone & I want to tell you that ITS HARD!!! |

WetinConsignMe:Young man, it is obvious at this point that you have NO CLUE. At the emboldened, the only support from the spectators so far is pointing to my direction, not yours. So where is the EVERYBODY coming from? That aside, the bone of contention ab initio was whether the OP was seeking an estimate or a piece of advice and counselling which I pointed out to you explicitly. Then you misquoted me, claiming I said ESTIMATES ARE PRECISE. This, however, I corrected with proof and illustrations that I said ESTIMATE REQUESTS should be precise and not ESTIMATE itself. I followed this up with a brief lecture stating that REQUESTS is the HEADWORD, while ESTIMATE is merely an adjective in that context, thereby, debunking your lies. I am still waiting for your grammatical proof to prove me wrong. Meanwhile, the SUGGESTION Ladyf gave CANNOT BE TERMED AN ESTIMATE. It only shows how half-baked educated you both are! |

Okpuamu: Bros you cannot just charge a client based on word count alone. Ask the client to give you more information, what genre is the novel? Is it romance, horror, thriller/mystery etc.. if it is romance, what subgenre is it? Is it contemporary romance, historical romance, erotic romance etc. Ask if the client has a plot, detailed outline and timeline of happenings. What POV he/she wants the story told from. The theme(s) of the story. I could go on and on. There's plenty of things to know before you should give your charge your client. This will even make your client sure you know what you're doing and be able to trust you. Incase the client doesn't have all these details, tell them to give you all the iformation they have, as a professional writer you should be able to fill the holes. Whether you'll charge for that service or not is your choice. 150 pages if calculated with 350-380 words/page will be 52-57k words. I usually charge my clients between $600 - 800 for a project like this depending on the information I was given and the complexity of the job. I also consider the amount of research that needs to be done. Oh yeah and if they say my charges are too high, I mention to them that it is negotiable 2 Likes 1 Share |

KaBabs1: Exactly my point! Novel writing is a creative writing, it's not some kind of article writing. I strongly advise the OP to take this piece as a guide. |
Re: How Much Should I Charge For A 150 Paged Novel On Fiverr by Dcholeric: 11:36am On Jul 31, 2017 |
KaBabs1:I didn't say its a big deal. it was only a way to estimate how much he consider for service charge. someone advised him to charge $5 per 500 words. if I charge $5 per 500 words I will get $120 for 12k words . but I added $30 just in case the buyer chooses to go down , it won't cross below $120 . I don't see how your quote "is nothing" actually relates to my post . |

teelaw4life: You're right. But writing a novel isn't beans. I'm a writer myself. I've completed one novel with two more stopped halfway, so I know what it takes to write one. Also, I once wrote 10 1000+ blog posts for 4k, just because I was broke. At the end of the day, the effort wasn't worth the pay even though I needed the money. I'm just concerned with the pay not being with the effort he would put into the writing. |

Re: How Much Should I Charge For A 150 Paged Novel On Fiverr by teelaw4life(m): 1:25pm On Jul 31, 2017 |
Mobsync: 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. |

WetinConsignMe: 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. |
