    Ok I am curious to know I am interested in hiring a blog poster for one of my blogs as I have no time to blog on it... I would want them to post quality content and the content should never be copied...

    I would want 3 posts a week maybe 500 words per post or something..

    How much do you think this would cost if i hired someone? Is it different for long or short time jobs?

    This would be webmaster, seo, etc related..

    Please do not pm me offering your services as I am not wanting them but just creating a estimate of what it would cost me :D

    It depends.

    You will find $.01 a word writers that may get the job done for you or you can go up from there depending on the quality you want.

    $50 a month would probably get you posts.

    A little more a month to get quality articles.

    I would say that any good quality 500 word article will cost you around $6-10. The more money you can pay the more quality article you will get . Dont hope that paying less you will get quality article.

    Quality needs money

    I generally charge $0.10/word for print, and $20 per blog post or ezine article up to 500 words depending on how much research is required. If you needed three posts a week, I could be persuaded to hit that for $50 a week with ad credit.

    You should be paying a minimum of $60/week for quality blog posts written by someone with experience in that niche.

    If you were looking for blog posts between 150-200 words, I'd say a minimum of $30/week.

    With what you're willing to pay, you'll be lucky to get a single 150-word post/week from a good writer.

    I'm sure you can find someone to write for that price, but it won't be quality content.
