Hiring someone for EDITS

sser

If you were to hire someone to do your editing for you what percentage of your profits would you pay him per job/Hourly? Looking for some sort of break down? 15% of for instance $2000 profit = $300.

I have no idea and want to be fair but also want to make a decent profit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never share your profits, per image or hourly

If I understand what you are saying, which is that you are trying to determine how much the editing work is worth, based on what you were paid, I would say that is not likely the best way to determine this. My first thought is to investigate what other people are doing it for (to determine what may be the going rate), and then pay someone commensurate with their skill level. The key is to come up with something that is reasonable to both you and who you contract with...and make sure you work out a contract in writing to govern the relationship to avoid disputes over who has rights to what and what prices and costs are. Spelling things out is usually best...
