How long does it take YOU to write a QUALITY ARTICLE?

I am a perfectionist and it usually takes a couple of hours to write a page, ~500 words.

 

I find rewriting articles a lot harder than writing a researched article from scratch because you are working within someone else's syntax and that is difficult.

 

If you write quality articles then you shouldn't need to be writing for $3 an article - up your prices, respond to requests for articles via pm and provide links to work online and you should get at least two or three times that for starters.

 

Links to some of my work online time for writing each of these articles varied between 20 mins and an hour and a half.
