Manual Data Entry

> $400 *
Typos and copy-paste mistakes such as:
  • Spelling mistakes
  • Wrong data
  • Wrong format
If you must repeat manual entry again in the future, the costs accumulate over time.
It is extremely time consuming. The time you spent on this is the time you lost working on other tasks.
It requires knowledge of WordPress admin screens.
It requires access to the original website articles and media.

* This assumes that data entry employees are paid $18/hour and have to spend at least 15 minutes creating an article, copying information, migrating images, adding categories, and more. For 100 articles, it will take around 25 hours to complete migration for a total cost of over $400. Additionally, you will need to spend more time later to fix mistakes and typos.
