I wouldn't write for less than 50 cents a word commercially. Look at Media Planet.

I think, if I recall correctly, they pay 125 € for a 1/4 page ( 1500 characters), 200€ for a full page, + 50 € for express delivery, interview expenses, per diems. mileage etc.

Even bog standard business translations run from 15 - 35 cents a word. For ad copy it can be up to 1.00 €

For photos we use the Gorilla price list (in Finnish, sorry)

as examples:

  • Culture magazine - printrun 5000 1 page 75€ (single use)
  • Newspaper - printrun 500,000 1/2 page 180 € (single use)

I am not recommending them, though I know writers who happily work for them and make a very decent living. The Media Planet MO is to tie editorial to advertising, so they sell prefinanced articles. Not my cup of tea.

Pretty website but at least the uk Link off that map appears broken.

Their partners differ from country to country. I only know Funland.
