You can ask her. You can also look into seeing what the industry standard is. I believe she will respond with quite a large range if you ask her.

Mj, I would ask them — “What do people typically pay you?” or “What do you recommend?”

Great post. So in Silver Dagger’s plan, where you set the price, how do you decide what to pay? As a freelancer myself, I’m not looking to shortchange another entrepreneur. I’ve been considering them, but I have no idea how to value the results.

Hi Joy,

I think each web host has its pros and its cons. And being able to export content is a huge deal. So, I think when choosing your web host, you should do your due diligence and research and look at everything.

I tried others and wix worked for me. I tried WordPress and I couldn’t figure it out. So, when choosing any provider or any service make sure you read every term of service and make sure it not only works with your budget and skill set but it meets your needs.

Wix has a lot of cool features and is constantly improving. When I was researching which provider to use to manage my newsletter, turns out, wix had that function included.

I could send up to 3 newsletters a month to up to 5,000 subscribers. They also included automatic responses for onboarding emails that didn’t count toward the 3 newsletters a month.

Just a head’s up regarding WIX, which I wouldn’t recommend because of the following:
“Your Wix site and all of its content is hosted exclusively on Wix’s servers, and cannot be exported elsewhere. Specifically, it is not possible to export or embed files, pages or sites, created using the Wix Editor or ADI, to another external destination or host.” A friend got caught by this.

In reply to Ronni Robinson. Absolutely, Ronni. I'd say all of them, but BookBub (#3) is more useful to novelists than nonfiction authors. Sandy

Thanks so much for this! Would you say most of this applies to non-fiction writers as well? What do you think may be different?
