    $0.50 per article?

    You got to be joking here... unless you're looking for 10-20 words per article, of course!

    :confused:

    I'm confused, how long do you want these to be. If it is a short blog then I can do it, but 50 cents for a whole article?

    Im not basing it on words though. There would be a minimum of words that the blogger has to write. $5 per article is a hell of alot for a site like ours and its not just 1 article once off, it would be a permanant blogging spot.

    Sure yes, but I doubt anyone would consider working for less than 1 cent per word, which means that 500 words == $5.

    For less than that, and even for that your work would be nothing but copy paste from elsewhere, and even for that work, I doubt anyone would accept your 50 cents per article... :(

    Just 50 cents isnt an issue. Will anyone of you be willing to write 50 words for 50 cents?
    Don't you think that you need to research for an article you are going to write?
    is 50 cents worth the research that is needed for an article?

    The usual pay rate for articles is 1 cent per word to 1.5 cents per word. Below than that, you can expect a crap/shit or at all no attention.

    Rest lies on your interest :D

    what if there is no limit of words etc? Sometimes articles could be 100 words and other times if there is alot to talk about then up to even 700 or 800 words.

    What would be the best way of paying the bloggers in this case?

    Pay $2 per short article (under 300 words) and $5 for longer ones.

    For you, that could add up fast, but for the writers it isn't all that much. You'll need to figure out how to make a lot of money from the blog if you are paying others to write it.

    Cool. From ads im making around $20 a month. But with link sales, because we have alot of traffic we can make around $100. That would only pay our bloggers for like 5-10 days lol.

    hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
