Guest johannejohanne Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hi, I did some research but found nothing.On the packages of some writers, you can edit the number of words you want to order.How to activate that option ? I have researched, and did some tweaking but it won’t work on my packages. My buyers cannot edit the number of words they want.Thank you in advance for those who can explain to me what I am doing wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hanshuber16 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hi,You need to add a gig extra for additional words. Once you do that, your customers will be able to select whatever word count they want.All they need to do then is to enter the exact word count they require into the “Number of words” field and it will show them the price for that word count on each of your three packages.There is always a default number shown in the number of words field. That’s just the base number of words that you offer for that particular package. If, however, you have set the gig extra correctly, your customers can just delete the default number from that field and enter their own word count and the price of your gig will change accordingly (according to what you’ve set in the gig extra).

Try and see what happens… 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and see what happens…I have set my additional words extra such that once the customer’s required word count exceeds the word count of a package, it will be cheaper for the buyer to select the higher package than to select the lower package with the exceeded word count. That way, they don’t select the lower package with the faster delivery time and request for tons of work.I have also set the delivery time of my cheapest gig package such that I have plenty of time even in case that happens. 5 days for base package (5k words) which, in fact, I can probably complete in 1 day - - 10 days for intermediate (25k words) - - 14 days for top package (50k words).The way in which the extras are set (and priced) decides whether or not they (sellers) will frequently run into issues with their customers.

jeankilpatri688 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I was trying to do this but the option for extra words is no longer there on gig extras. Anyone got any idea how the process works in 2021? Thanks a lot. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonstaredits Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Does anyone know if this works with running time in the video category? I wanted to charge an amount for every minute, but can't do it. This would be ideal... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you can only enter multiples of 5. This means you will have to base your prices around this rules. So, for example, your offer should be 100 words for 5$. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No easy way, no. $0.05 per word would be 100 words for $5, so that's what you would need to set as your base package. Unless things have changed since I last built a custom offer, you can make custom offers any dollar value after the $5 minimum.
