Our projected pay has doubled… but minimum wage is still far away
I provide advice about how to write novels, comic books and graphic novels. Most of my content applies to fiction-writing in general, but I also provide articles specifically about superhero stories.
We did some calculations on the back of a napkin and concluded that the author of Things White People Like received an advance of 2.33 cents per hit. Assuming that our advance earned us the same amount of money per hit, our projected pay per hour of website work has doubled to $1.75 over the past three months. At this rate, we might reach minimum wage by the time I have my degree. [JACOB ADDS: Barely. Won’t your parents be so proud?]
