How profitable is content writing?

    If I wrote quality articles and built up a name on DP how profitable would content creation be if I wrote 5-10 articles per day?

    10$ at least per article that's 100$/day

    But you can charge 100$ for 1 article it all depends on skills and quality

    It would be hard, there will be a lot of people that will try and undercut your prices etc... and the sad thing is people usual base their decision on the price not quality.

    there is a lot of competition at DP.

    most webmasters are looking for cheap content with acceptable quality.

    at an average, you can expect $5 per article.

    Thanks for your help, I will definitely aim for quality over quantity however I will need to find the right combination of quality and quantity.

    Improve on your writing skills and start with less price.... slowly you will find recognition and you will do wonders... but most of all, serve for quality of information not mainly for money :)

    Offense* and the period goes inside the quotation marks. ;)

    I would only buy articles here if i'm looking for cheap, average-quality content. Unless you are extremely good at writing, you'll probably have to make up for it in quantity.

    Only in the States. Having the period inside the quotation marks doesn't actually make sense, to the rest of the world anyway. :p

    Where would you advertise off DP? What keywords would you target for a ppc campaign?
