4. What I Write & What It Costs I usually work on a project fee based on a rate of $100/hour. Discount for BNI members: $85/hour. Some examples…
5. Credit Card Processing Website Problem: Limited budget. Demanding client and project manager. Way too much copy. Wanted new copy “above the fold.” Had to totally upgrade their website . Solution: Worked virtually side by side with Bradley Charbonneau of Likoma to create a branded WordPress site that we could update and add to for Phase II. Results: Too early to tell. Cost: 10 hours = $1,000
8. Inspired In-Law Campaign Problem: Introduce new residential solution to aging population, their families and the trade with a complete, integrated campaign – in two months. Solution: Collaborate with Phil Siegel, Josh Larson, Carrie Shores, and their designer to create a new 16-page website, printed materials, ads, and banners. Results: The Inspired In-Law was a hit at the AARP Trade Show in Orlando and the West Coast Green trade show in SF. Cost: $3,400 for the whole package
12. Referral: Intuit Small Business Blog Problem: New blog. Sparse content. Hired a handful of contributing writers in mid-October. Solution: I’ve now posted 36 articles on the site in the last 8 weeks, an average of 4.5 per week, which is 15% of the total content. Result: Traffic is way up. I’ve been able to interview numerous BNI subject matter experts for articles. This project created a referral from the lead editor for a huge project I started last week. Cost: $100/blog = $3,600
