    Hi,

    How much would you pay (if you own a blog) OR would you ask (if you are a writer) for a blog post with the following criteria:

    - Niche (Technology, Internet Marketing (SEO, SEM, PPC, Link Building etc.), Blogging
    - 750+ Words
    - Well researched with Keywords from AdWords Tool
    - With H1, H2, H3 tags
    - With High Quality Images/Screen shots
    - SEO Title and Meta Description (to show on SERPs)

    So it means... If I am the one who is hiring you and I give a topic say "Top 10 Alternatives To Google AdSense"

    then you begin by researching from Google AdWords for Keywords and then search those terms on Google to see competitors (to check what they have written and what you write which they dont have etc.) and then write titles, desc, h1, h2, images, bullets, images.. and whatever which is required...

    Is that what you mean?

    Yes. Of course you would have to add h1, h2 title tags, seo title, meta description, and upload images once you are ready to upload the article to your website.

    This work will incur you at least $50 ...if you want a really great content. However, if you are lucky you may get people who can do it with $5 at fiverr

    I think it depends if you are the writer and your blog has great traffic and high PR. But if you are talking about an independent ghost writer, a good article will cost around $15-$30. You see, prices are more than just a 'per word' kind of thing. It is the time attributed to each article. So if you are going to pay $5 for 1 article that will take about an hour to do. Paying $15 will give the writer the motivation to put the extra effort and thoroughly research the information that will go into the article for around 3 hours or more. So paying that extra money is worth it especially if you are looking for quality. Hope that makes sense.

    $10-$15? You people must eat noodles every day for dinner. . .

    Realistically, if you are looking for someone to research a subject, write a content rich article optimized for traffic and actually have it read as if it was written by someone with an education you are looking at $50-$125 depending on the subject, length and time it takes. And that is if you find the right person. Most people will claim they can do it but very few will produce quality work.

    If you find some sucker that will do it for $10 they are either in dire need of a little bit of money, inexperienced, or someone who is simply going to give you garbage. But hey...maybe you will find someone out there that will spend an entire day on your article for $10. If you find that person shoot me a PM... I'll pay them double and abuse the hell out of them.

    If you're boasting about your article writing work ethic and it really is of quality...then you have no idea what you are worth.
