Wow, that's amazing. bloggergirl, you need to write and sell an ebook on web copy. Marketed correctly (and I have no doubts that you'd be able to), you'd make tens of thousands of dollars at the least. I mean, a $20 or even $25 ebook on web copy that will increase my conversion rate? Incredible value prop. I'd buy it.

Consider at least two copies sold then. What a neat idea, please, yes, do this.

I would buy that book, too, but I would feel remiss if I didn't point out that she could charge at least high four figures for a week of consulting and get it. The deck she produced here is worth north of $2,000.

  Time to drop Rails consulting and take up content... :)

    I've banged this drum a few times, but if both of those are in your bag of tricks, your economic value to the right company is Very High Indeed. (Plus you can e.g. instrument the site to prove how much copy changes actually mattered. This decreases the risk of hiring you and allows you to charge higher prices because you are not also having the client self insure against the project being worthless.)

      Well played. One of my favorite things about HN is that people act on opportunities. Sounds like a smart move for both of you.

Even scale the review down and offer a templated lite version as a $79-129 service for web sites. Set it up so that each review takes 30-60 minutes, do 2-3 a day (evenings if already otherwise employed) and use it to pay the mortgage. Perhaps the $79 pricepoint came with the proviso that the customer documented it and their follow-up changes on their company blog. Could stay afloat using just HN as a source of customers, I suspect. Ebook has the advantage of being a possible passive earner, but I've never bought an ebook personally whereas I could see myself using a service like this.
