China is coming online big time and 100s of millions of individuals will be selling their wares online to the world. Many Chinese students and up and coming entrepreneurs realize that "English" is the business language of the world and soon there will be more English Speaking Chinese than the total population of the United States and that could happen within the next four to five years.
This means that websites that are in English and based in China will be entering the eCommerce Space. This also means more Chinese will be looking for folks to help them build content and write online articles for informational marketing purposes; online article marketing. Should an Internet Marketer in China hire a US Based writer to help them prepare their content?
After considering this question; I'd say no because US writers will not be able to compete or care to for the price.
Recently, a start-up entrepreneur from that nation asked a writer of articles if they could have a discount. The reply was simply No, the reason was that they could not give a discount because the subject matter was not one of the writer's main expertise's and it would thus, require a lot more work than other potential subjects that they were well versed in, or could write from the "top of their head" (meaning literally writing straight from thought).As a writer this made sense to me and I see that is not a good fit. I was thinking that pricing in the US would not be "cost effective" for their needs; this is why I would suggest other writers such as those from India to help these up-start Chinese Entrepreneurs. Many of these individuals who write articles in India do so for $4 (US Dollars) and since many only make 2-4 US Dollars per day, they spend all day doing it perfect and sub contract with friends to write as well.
So, an Internet Company in Mainland-China could get volume and low cost by contracting in India, but not in the US. Since we are all in a Global Market, a business person "must" get the best price if they are to make the most amount of money. Please consider this.
