How Much Would You Pay For These Articles?

10 replies
Hi Guys,

As I'm not getting too many hours in my offline job at the moment, I'm considering offering an article writing service on this forum.

I'm trying to figure out how much I should charge, which obviously depends on how good my articles are...

For anyone who outsources, could you have a look at the following two articles and tell me how much you would honestly be willing to pay for them?

Article 1
Article 2


Thanks in advance for any feedback, it will be very helpful.

    I would pay about 4 bucks. That's the avg price that I've been paying for similar articles.

      Charles, I have yet to find articles at that price for the quality. Would you have any recommendations for writers?

        Yea I would suggest at least $6. Your articles are well written so if outsourced I would probably be paying $8 for each one.

    Those are 2 well-written articles, and from what I can see, free from grammatical errors.

    I don't have too much experience buying articles here, but based on the quality, I would pay around $10 per your 500 word article.

    I like your writing style, very straight forward and easy to read. The problem with ghostwriting is that there is a lot of competition and when the competition charges low prices it can be difficult to compete with that.

    However, most people who outsource will know that you get what you pay for and cheap articles aren't always good quality.

    Personally, to write unique articles I wouldn't charge any less than $10 per 500 word article. You have to wonder if it is really worth your while if you work for any less than that.

    Maybe when you're first starting out you can perhaps offer your services a little cheaper to get your first few customers - have it as an opening type special, so that they know your prices will go up.

    I'd agree with Sheryl. If you plan to write quality, unique articles, charging $10 per 500 word article is the only way it's worth your time. With all the competition, it's not a bad idea to offer a special to get started. You might try a special like 5 articles for $40 and stipulate that they must be on the same subject to save time on research. Once you build up clients, you can stick with $10 an article.

      Not more than 2$, because the ideas behind the article are not unique and provide 0 value to the user. The user has most likely googled the main keyword and read the same info on the top sites, while you just provide a rehashed version of it.
