Gotta give respect to get respect. Presumably, since you want "good" you expect the articles to (ultimately) contribute to your profits. Yet you seem to think it's inappropriate for a writer to be adequately compensated for their skillful contribution to your bottom line.

Cognitive dissonance, my friend.

Now, if you'd said, "I'm looking for a crap writer, and I expect low rates." you might have gotten some response.

I think you're appeal is unrealistic. Quality writers don't write 15-20 articles a day at low rates. Good luck...

When I say "quality", I don't mean that writers need to use style of Shakespeare.

All I want is perfect grammar, correct spelling and understandable content.

In my case, writers get paid for quantity, not quality. And as I said, I just need articles, which make sense.

Hi,

I must still insist that your subject line is deceptive. Good grammar, good
spelling and understandable content are NOT the definition of "quality."
They are bare minimal standards. A "quality" article must exceed --
by a substantial amount -- bare minimal standards.

If you'd written "Looking for a Just Barely Competent Article Writer" then
we wouldn't complain about your subject line.

It's still unlikely that anybody who knows a lot about making money online
is going to agree to churn out so many articles for low rates, but
stranger things have happened.

best, Rick

Thanks

Well, that's the main topic, but if you know someone, who can write on low rates for other topics, then let me know

Thanks

Anyone who can easily knock out 100+ articles about how to make money online would, I'm sure, be desperate to do just that for you, at low rates too.

Who could resist?

I guess folk who will write for $1 - $2 per article live in very poor countries where that is maybe a day's wage. Unfortunately, those countries do not have computers or internet connection.

From experience I reckon you need to pay approx. $5 per original article.

Agreed, that's the "average" rate, if you are buying a single article, but when buying A LOT, then the price drops :rolleyes:

  Why? With this kind of logic, the more I write the less I get paid. That doesn't make sense.
  
  And where do you come up with the "average" rate of $5.00 for 500 words?

  People will write for even less than that, but usually no one wants to go lower than $3, unless it's a bulk order.

I don't understand something and if anyone has the answer please fill me in.

When I write an article for myself or someone else it takes itleast an hour by the time I research, write my first draft, and edit. Now that is an article that I plan on using to represent my brand/business as well as make me money. If I was in a rush I could throw one together in 30 minutes but that is the bare minimum for me personally. What I don't understand is how the price for orginal articles got to be so low that the average could be $5 for a 500 word article? That's not even minimum wage! I don't know about anyone else but when I started my online business it was for the sole purpose of getting away from being overworked and underpaid!

The math just doesn't add up to offer a profit even if someone buys in bulk and you offer a lower rate because someone still has to write the articles.

Im rambling but I see article writer getting offended when someone posts looking for low rates; but maybe we should try and do something to raise the average price back up because if I can get the same quality work done for half the price why would I pay the full price.

Just some food for thought

Thanks

I agree with you.......unfortunately there are always article writers out there who are willing to take work at any price. They may be desperate for the money or they may have the "poverty mentality" thing going on.

This issue has been discussed many, many times on the Warrior forum. There are always those out there willing to write for less. In my opinion, this cheapens the value of a good article writer for everyone. It's sad.

Here's a scenario that all article writers need to think about. You are writing quality articles for $3 or even $5 a piece. Your client is going to take these articles and depending on how good he is at marketing them, he could make hundreds of dollars off just one article!!

So paying $5 for one article is just the same as getting it for free to him. You do all the work....he brings in all the cash.

Not much different than working a regular J.O.B. only the pay is much less!

Doesn't make any sense to me.

The main reason that some people expect to get articles for $5 a time is that on a lot of forums there are plenty of people working from countries where $5 is a good day's wage.

Of course much of the time those articles aren't in good English - but often neither the purchaser nor the writer will realise that the article isn't good English!

Add in that many of these sub par articles are just being used to populate adsense sites - all the purchasers care is that the article is unique, has keywords and is in good enough English.

With these factors getting a $5 article is starting to be expensive - look on digital point you will find many writers who will write a 500 word article for $2.50 - and rewrite a 500 word article for less than a dollar.

Of course it can be difficult to find a writer who will write a real quality article, in excellent English, that actually gives value to the reader and is worth using for things like article marketing.

I have come to the conclusion that anyone who wants/expects an article for less than $15 wouldn't actually recognise a quality article (or know what to do with it!) - so I don't bother with them anymore.

From personal experience, and by hanging around Internet marketing forums.

People will write for even less than that, but usually no one wants to go lower than $3, unless it's a bulk order.

What you're not taking into consideration is that writers like myself don't respond to requests for those low rates. So buyers get the impression that the average is so low when in reality it's much higher.

I can write a 500 word article on a subject I know well in about 20 minutes but it would cost you significantly more than $5.00. I would be better off using the article myself as a blog post, part of a squidoo lense, hubpage, or to draw traffic to one of my websites through article marketing.

I'm sorry, but asking for perfect anything for such a low rate is insulting to whoever you hire. You don't tell the owner of a store how much you feel like paying for the merchandise he is selling. You wouldn't walk into a restaurant and then tell the chef and servers how much you were going to pay for the food (at least, not if you want your meal to be bodily fluid free).

The going rate is nowhere near the low benchmark of $5/500 words--unless you want something that is riddled with typos and bad information, or copied straight off of Wikipedia or EZines.
