Still, if he did a good job you got yourself an amazing deal. If he's half bright it won't be long before he twigs he can charge other clients a bit more than that. Ah right - that would explain it.

However the copy was of a very decent standard and was geared at 20 year old lads, so who better then a 20 year old lad to write it! @Bill .E a University student, to be honest wasn’t a huge amount of copy and the copywriter was doing several jobs for me so I worked out a rough per word figure.

However the copy was of a very decent standard and was geared at 20 year old lads, so who better then a 20 year old lad to write it!

But $20 for a copywriter? He must have been either: (a) an 11-year-old from the slummier end of Mansfield, after some pocket money (b) foreign, with English as a second language (d) mad Either way, it might explain why your conversion rate wasn't as good as you expected. If he were based in the US, UK, Canada or Australia he'd have to win and work on ten jobs like your every day to earn even a basic salary. For the kind of standard you get for that kind of money, you'd be better off doing it yourself! Really interesting results.

I will have a closer look at paid stumble traffic, sounds like they have very fair rates for their targeted traffic. Nice read Tim!
