Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as overhead in a content agency?

Overhead typically includes project management software, editing/proofing tools, your own management or quality-control time, and any client communication or reporting time not directly billed to production.

What is a healthy content agency margin?

Most content agencies target 35-55% margin after freelancer costs and overhead, with margin often increasing as processes and freelancer relationships mature and require less oversight.

Should I pay freelancers per piece or per hour?

Per-piece (per article, per video) pricing is more common in content agencies since it's predictable for budgeting and incentivizes freelancer efficiency, though complex or research-heavy content sometimes favors hourly rates.
