    Please understand I only say this as constructive criticism -

    Anyone considering you for article writing is going to go to your website to view an example of your writing skills. You may want to review your site for spelling and grammar.

    Pricing your own work depends on 2 main factors.
    1.Current Market Price (how much are other people charging. It's always worth the research.)

    2.Your Required Income (how long does it take you to write an article on average, how much do you want to get paid for that time?)

    Your price should be somewhere in the middle of those two factors in order for you to stay competitive. The article writing business is a flooded market so you may not get the price you want per article, but if you can give a lower price than your competitors with higher quality, and with the right advertising you should be able to get enough customers you will make the money you want in the long run.

    1-2 cents per word is the going rate.
