    I am looking to start up an article submission business.

    What is the general price charged for one of these services?

    Usually 6-10USD per article, or 3 to 5 cents per word.

    Honestly speaking article marketing business is on downhill, these days people generally wish to read blog posts alternatively through subscribing rss feed.

    I'd have to agree here. More and more people seem to be turning to blogs nowadays and article marketing business may very well be in the midst of taking a dent or two.

    People will still submit articles, though, if only for the backlinks to their site, and the fact that articles on a major directory will still get picked up in searches.

    People are doing article marketing for backlinks, not for traffic.

    Hi Jared,

    I do not use these services, but I did some rudimentary research for you. Here are a few different prices.

    $20-$35 per article (with the lower price for multiple articles)
    $14.95 per article to 125 directories.
    $25 to at least 100 sites with a PR of 2 or higher
    $20-$65 per article, depending on #of directories. Manual submission.

    There is a bit of a range there, but not so much that you won't have a starting point.

    All the best,
    Michael Oksa

    Hey Jared,
    I have been succesfully running article submissoin services for the past few months. My rates that I charge are highly competetive in order to gain the most amount of business, being that I have other people that work with me in my organization. Our general rates are $10 for 420 Submissions, $7 for 300, $6 for 200, and $5 for 100. We also offer enen lower discounted bulk rates for customers who have 10 or more articles to submit.

    Article re-writing is another serrvice which we offer and our general rates for re-writing are $5 up to 400 words and $1 per extra 100 words.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.
