This guy from a western nation wants 0.10 per 100 words. However, even in developing nations, they demand at least 1 USD per 100 words. What's going on here?
He may not really be from the country he's claiming He may be a novice writer He may be keen to build up a portfolio He may take your upfront payment and run
I don't know but I have to say, these rates are rather silly. But it seems like on this one site all these people are willing to work for 10 cents for 100 words etc.. but on DigitalPoint, of course, the rate is laughed at. Maybe this place is in some time machine from another era.
A professional writer wouldn't take on a writing job for such a small amount. The only thing I can think about is a person who will put a random article he finds in an automatic article generator, which will give you an unreadable article. This is the cheap way to get a non-quality article. Perfect for your blog or website. Not.
There is no way any person should pay an expert $.75 - $2.00 per word for an article! for a professionals paying really good writers about 2 - 3 cents per word.
I don't understand how you can claim that it's good. You will not get a high quality article for that price. Probably you will get a spun article. If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
And... 2-3 cents per word adds up to (if 3) $3 per 100 words. Which isn't THAT bad. That's pretty far from $0.10 per 100 words...
Most probably, he/she will just copy/paste some texts from different sources. It's possible that he/she can also change the order of the sentences, but for that amount I'm really doubt about it. My experience shows that the cheaper service always cost more at the end, because after you see the result it's too late and then you have to pay additional for better writing service and when you count it, it makes no sense. You will lose time and money if you higher such a writer. That's my opinion.
There is no one best rate for everyone. Pricing has far too many unique factors to be a one-size-fits-all format. Your level of experience, how in-demand you are, your overhead, your client list, your standard of living, etc.... all of these things play a part in pricing. Charge what you are worth, and what your target market will allow.
I can't tell you what to charge for your writing. Charge what you are worth, and what your target market will bear. That worth is different with each business, and what the market will bear (or allow) is different with each market. My best advice: try out a price and see what happens. Test the prices you want to offer, and see if your customers like them. If not, change your prices, and test the market again. Repeat as many times as is needed until you find the perfect price model for your particular market.
