What are the prices for text content?

[coy]

Excellent points Red.

I've seen writers have to almost sell their souls to sell stories and it just shouldn't be like that. I’ve been in this industry for almost 5 years now and all but one webmaster has been not only happy with the well written text, but was more than happy to pay more than the “sweat shop stories.”

You get what you pay for... my mother told me that when I was just starting out and that has stuck with me the past 10 years because of the fact it is absolutely true.

Here’s an excerpt from an article I recently wrote regarding the use of text and audio on adult sites...

"Just what can text and audio do for you? Well as with pictures and videos, quality does matter. As with picture and video content, you should watch for stolen content. One of the many ways sites gather mass quantities of stories to sell dirt-cheap is by taking stories from free listing sites. If the deal seems too good to be true, normally it is. You can bet at least one of three things, the content is stolen, poor quality or has been sold more times than anyone can remember. Would you want to wade through tons of previously seen, typos, poorly written descriptions or choppy non-flowing stories to “enhance” your visit? No, and neither does your member. In this case, quantity does not rule over quality. A good quality story, both text and audio can really capture the member’s attention and in turn become real in the member’s mind, shaped by his or her imagination."

As far as price, as with anything it depends on what the terms of the agreement are, since the stories can be longer, or shorter and exclusiveness can range from sole owner to anyone can own it, not to mention the amount of stories bought at once.

Lets use the most common… 1000 word story, completely exclusive to the webmaster. Just as Red said, $50.00 should be expected if the writer is good and you’re not buying in mass.

I agree with Red on every single point actually.

You want quality text where your surfer doesn’t have to struggle with what the author was trying to say. Ugh! Can you imagine in the middle of the sex scene peak the story reads:


“He jerked a few times and shit his load.”

Instead of…

“He felt the warmth travel up the length of his shaft and he could feel his balls tighten as his climax washed over him. He gripped her waist tightly forcing his cock in deeper as he fired his white stick spunk deep within her spasming pussy.”

Which one would you prefer? Huge difference due to spelling errors and description wouldn’t you agree?
