Kateryna Kushnir , editor, content marketer, author of the Telegram channel "Not just an editor" , answered the question of one of the subscribers. As always, the topic concerns not only content, and advice will be useful in any field. Naming your price is normal It is strange to agree to work for money that does not suit you. Especially if you can get more elsewhere or work at a different price point altogether. But it seems to me that it is not always necessary to bargain long and hard. First, you should evaluate whether it makes sense and whether it is worth spending time. In my experience, if an employer offers a pay fork or the job doesn't list a salary, it's likely they're studying the market.
So, he looks at what options are offered to him and how the performers C Level Executive List react to the money offered. If the value of your work corresponds to the ordered money, it is usually possible to negotiate. Another option is when the client is sure of how much he wants to pay for the work. For example, he has a limited budget or he is internally not ready to pay more than a certain amount. It is usually useless to haggle for a long time here - you can find any justification for the price, but they will still buy where it fits the budget, even if it is at the expense of quality. Of course, there are exceptions - and it is not always possible to say exactly where the case will end in success and where in failure. Here, a lot depends on the specific situation and, probably, sometimes it is worth relying on intuition. Much depends on the quality of your work If the client has the task of finding a performer who works as well as possible, then all offers are considered based on the price / quality ratio.
Few people are looking for "cheaper", and no one wants to overpay for mediocre work. Hence the conclusion - it is easier to trade where there is a test task. The client can see the result of your work before the cooperation begins. And then make a decision - whether he meets the specified fee or not, to refuse you or to continue the work. If you negotiate, do it with respect for the other party For example, below are excerpts from a dialogue with an applicant. I will say right away that on the project we were guided by the price of the performer and in most cases we agreed with the cost when we were satisfied with the quality. ".. The performer names his price. Me: "... I'm looking at your portfolio and I only see b2c articles, can you send me some examples of b2b articles?" Performer: "Kateryna, you surprise me. I sent you more than 80 examples of work. As for the cost, you can always hire a copywriter who will print thousands of characters of semi-intelligible text for pennies, then give it to the editor and bring it into divine form.
