    Hello,

    I am surprised about how little information I could find
    on hiring someone to post to a blog. Can someone share
    with me where I can find a good, inexpensive blog poster?

    What are the going rates?

    Thank you,
    Mark

    You should read through this section and you will see what people charge. The lowest is around $0.01 up to $0.10 per word and some folks are running specials as well.

    A lot of people are charging $0.01 per word, but you'll obviously lose some quality with most writers (not all). Depending on the topic you need, I could make you an offer.

    It all depends on how good you want to content to be written. If you want your blog to become really respected, expect to pay more per post. However, you're going to get more bang per post because the article will be enticing and interesting.

    In this regard u should check past blogs authored by the person u r hiring and check the writing style and generally i would say ur bloggers should have authored a good own.com blog. I mean no blogspot.com and no personal ramblings blog

    mrinal, your suggestion is highly subjective. I know a couple of great writers who don't have a .com blog, just a blogger blog. You can't discount someone based on their lack of money or not being willing enough to invest in a domain name and hosting. Yes, they should have previous blogging examples and samples to show, but grading them on a .com vs. blogger is just mean.

    I agree with ZDavis...You are hiring them based on their ability to write, not their ability to own a domain. However, in the end, most people will have a .com, I think.

    I looked at one of the blogs in your signature and saw the following sentences:

    "Playing online Bingo game is now most popular in the world because online bingo is a game of social. It brings lots of friend online and socialized them with you."

    I'm guessing you use some sort of text generation software.

    Hi vbMark

    I can only speak for myself. I started off charging $0.02/word for blog posting, then increased it to $0.035/word. I have a couple of blogs I still maintain at the old rate for long-term clients, but I've had one client in particular who's paid me much more than my current rate.

    If you are looking for a blogger, then this section is one of the places to look. You can also check out performancing.com (their forum section). I can't think of anywhere else at the mo'.

    And, p.s., I happen to be available for blog posting depending on what your blog's about and your budget.

    take care...

    .

    I will suggest you to get some poster from this section and buy some post/get the sample from them, then you can compare the quality and the price. After evaluate, then you should able to get the best price but quality poster
