how long would this take you?

How many hours would it take you to type 6,000 word in a day or 36,000 words in a week?

Depends on what it is. Are you just rekeying someone else's work or are you writing it yourself?

It is writing 120-130 word unique descriptions for jewelry. I am having a very hard time with it.

For me? Eight hours a day. lol I can whip out a 400-word blog post in minutes when I have something to say. When I HAVE to say something, it takes me forever and I overthink it.

It did take me all day. I was so slow that they sent me something else to do. That task still took me all day and then my computer didn't save it properly and I lost all my work. And I did save. I just told them that the work wasn't right for me and they were going to have to look for someone else. I just can't spend 8-10 hrs a day doing nothing but one companies work. The pay wasn't that great.

Sometimes I think the hardest thing for me is turning down work, even though sometimes it's the best thing for me. I always think "man, I really need that money" but then I have to consider is it really worth my time....could I be making more money concentrating on something else, etc. I have a tendency, and I'm currently like this right now, where I have taken on so much work that I barely have time to breath but I want the $$. I keep thinking that maybe I'll hire someone to help me out but then I always worry about not having enough work for them later on down the road. Also, I'm horrible with delegating because I'm so particular about the work that I'm afraid I would worry all the time and I would end up spending extra time looking at it and it would have just been quicker, easier, and less costly to just do it myself....LOL.

I wasn't able to finish the work. It took me about 10 hours a day. And it wasn't worth the pay. It left me no time for other clients.
