Selling If I pay $15 per article...

Discussion in 'Content Creation' started by Raikiri, Dec 16, 2010.

    I'm wondering what's a good figure to pay people for writing articles. I see people advertising for $3 per article, which is ridiculous, if you live in the West at least.

    I'd pay the price stated in the title, on a regular basis to someone that could write articles for our site. Regular means weekly, or if you're good enough, daily.

    If you don't consider yourself to have perfect English then you need not reply to this thread. The articles I'd need written are for an articles site, funnily enough. Articles I request may be as small as 500 words, up to 3000 words. If you can create above average, interesting articles then obviously I'd be obliged to pay more for your efforts.

    Unless you have a vast expertise in the topic you write on, I'll be asking for references and a bibliography at the end. No copying and pasting.

    Obviously article writers have to refer to books or other sites when writing, but it would be preferable if the writer had knowledge of the subject prior to writing the article.

    If interested, reply to this thread stating the topics you'd be able to write on, thanks!

    Finally!
    It's nice to find someone who thinks that 3 bucks is ridiculously low for content, for a change!

    Please take a look at my thread when you have the time -
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2033163

    Additionally, here are a few topics that I'm very comfortable writing about -

    1) Football (or Soccer, if that's what you call it)
    2) Swimming
    3) Cooking
    4) Food & Drink in general
    5) Playing the guitar
    6) Music in general
    7) Movies. I could go on and on for hours here (and no, I'm not talking about Indian Cinema :p )
    8) Travel
    9) Cycling
    10) Adventure sports like Rock Climbing, Rappelling, River Crossing, Rafting
    11) Automobiles
    12) Home decoration
    13) Psychology
    14) Electronics and Gadgetry

    Please let me know if there is any work that you can have me do.

    Thanks,

    Pragun

    Yes, $3 per article it's low but depending on how many words, you've said $15 per article, but some articles should have 3000 words. That's pretty low too.
    My rates are $0.01 per word, if you are interested i am waiting for your PM.

    Wow! People know that the writing job is an head ache, thus they outsource their jobs for peanuts. But that's definitely not their fault alone. It's because of the competition going on here. If the content is from an amature writer, then it's okay, but disappointingly, many Ezinearticles.com authors are also threated like amature writers (especially a ghost writer suffers a lot, though he's capable of providing quality content, he's paid very less and he is not even eligible to show his work to others)

    Below are the niche, I can write on:

    1. Sports
    2. Food & Drink
    3. Musical Instruments and Music (Including musicians)
    4. Movies (Hollywood and all Indian)
    5. Travel
    6. Adventure sports like Rock Climbing, Rappelling, River Crossing, Rafting
    7. Automobiles (I have been trained for 3 years in this)
    8. Home improvement
    9. Electronics and Gadgetry (I have worked for more than 3 years as a Tech Support for on of the largest IT products and Consumer Electronics manufacturer in the world)
    10. Investment, banking, Forex, Insurance.
    11. Software Descriptions and Reviews (Worked for more than a year for one of the Software review and promotion company)
    12. Physical Product Descriptions and Reviews
    13. Shopping and Lifestyle
    14. Online Services (Affiliate Marketing, Advertising, SEO, Web hosting, etc.)
    15. Health and Fitness.
    16. Gaming and Gaming Accessories (Include Consoles)

    Looking forward to work with you.
    Thanks.

    Hi!
    Please check out our service thread in my signature if you need your content written by natives for affordable prices. We charge $5 per 500 words article not compromising the quality.
    The problem is that most of the writers on this forum are not natives and have little to no experience at all in SEO writing. I came across many "writers" who didn't even know what Keyword Density is :)
    Well, that's not the case with our writers. We're all professionals and now what we're doing.

    Let us know in which niche you need articles and we'll assign your project to the best of our team members.
    Sarim.

    Hi,

    I am an arts industry professional from the UK working on a leading festival in marketing PR and international business.

    I am new to digital point, but have been writing articles for a number of years on a variety of topics and have a 2:1 BA Honours degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Leeds, UK.

    I can write daily on any of the following topics, and can quickly and thoroughly research and write on any other topic if required and provide references and bibliography:

    Arts - theatre, film, music, dance
    Books, literature
    Health, wellbeing, fitness

    I am happy to provide you with an article on any subject you request as an example, so do let me know what you require?

    I understand keyword density and can write articles which boost SEO. If an article is not up to standard I am happy to edit it free of charge.

    Best regards,

    Becky

    Finally, there's still hope in DP after all :)

    I can write an astounding range of topics, that even I am astounded myself, lol. This includes topics as easy as credit card debt or as difficult as nanotechnology. However, I'm far from perfect, and I appreciate if feedback is given after a job is completed. :)

    Thanks please PM me - I'd be happy to work on your project, no matter how big (or small)

    Firstly, I am relieved to see I am not the only one who thinkg $3 per article is a little low. $15 is certainly more appealing to me
    I do have experience on many sites online such as Ezine, Bukisa, Helium and Squidoo. I also do alot of ghostwriting for Textbrokers. Here are some of the topics that I have written on.
    1. Gift Ideas
    2. Toddler Education
    3. Toddler Toy Reviews
    4. Photography
    5. Herbal Health

    I can write on a whole vast range of topics beyond this as well. These are just some examples. Please do PM me if this interests you. Thanks

    It looks like you have already been so swamped you are probably not looking for writers anymore. If you happen to be, I have numerous how-to articles on ehow. I currently write for two different websites and I am looking for more work. I have expertise writing about all kind of parenting-related articles, health issues, a little bit of money, and probably other topics I am not thinking of right off. Let me know if you are interested.
