I have a slightly different view on it. I said 30 minutes, as I would do it in my own sweet time, if I want to I can cut that in half, which by your calculation would double my hourly rate, so that's a matter of how to look at it. Me on the other hand do business, in a manner that suits me. I am not looking to make bank overnight, I charge articles after what they are worth, and $5 for a regular 500 word article is sufficient for me to live comfortably, while not breaking the piggy bank of my clients who need to do business also. For example, a good percentage of my clientèle are blog owners, that want me to write their content, on their new blogs. From the start those blogs do not make a fortune. They may in a few months, but not while I am writing on them, and in the mean time that client has to eat too, so to charge more would make me to expensive, and I don't have to charge more to live well. In other words to me this is good business, not greedy business, and as a plus, I have many clients coming back to me, some after they became successful, and now buy the more expensive articles as well. In this case good Karma helps
