I'm a content writer and have been experiencing a drought for almost 1.5 months.
I charge $10 for 250 words, $20 for 500, and $40 for 1000.
I've changed my gig images, optimized my gigs with the seller plus keywords, and tuned up everything I could, but to no avail. My stats are down to 1k impressions and a handful of clicks every now and then, with no approaches from clients.
My success manager suggested that I either decrease or increase the pricing to see if that has some impact.
But I’m confused. Should I increase it or decrease it? I think the algorithm favors sellers with a higher price as they’ll be helping the platform earn more. But on the other hand, there’s the possibility that lower prices could encourage more people to buy from me, so I start getting orders again.
I’ve bumped it up for now to see if the algorithm favoring higher prices theory works. My new prices are $20 for 300 words, $40 for 600, and $60 for 1200 words. But I need some feedback from others regarding the right decision in this scenario so I can start getting work again. Any tips or experiences will be appreciated.
