What should I charge?
I have been writing articles for a while now and have been charging $5 what do you think I should be charging?
here are a few samples of my work. They are just excerpts from the original articles.
"Are you interested in performing tricks?
If so you should be buying a BMX bike. The best part about BMX bikes is that they are the most simple of bikes. When buying a BMX bike you will need to first look at the frame. The frame is what holds everything together and without it you wouldn't have a bike. There are several styles of Bike frames to choose from. Some frames are skinny and some are thicker. If you are not as strong you will want a skinnier frame to get started as it will be easier to perform tricks like a jump. But if you are someone who already does lots of physical activities like working out you could go with the heaver thicker type of frame. Next things to look at include the tires and rims. What would you prefer a smoother ride or more grip? Either way you will adapt to the type and get used to them over time. The rims are very important, you don't want to end up bending them or it becomes a nightmare to fix. If you bend your rims the bike will wobble instead of riding straight. So remember to pick strong double walled rims if this is important to you, although most bike shops will fix dented rims at a low cost to you."
That was an article about choosing bikes.
Here is another about surviving doomsday.
"You have been overrun by people looting for supply's, running though a narrow alleyway you frantically search for something to fight off the crowd. You completely forgot the supply's you needed back at your camp! You should have came prepared and now it was going to ruin everything! Always be prepared for doomsday, it could happen anytime and anywhere. And when the day hits you are going to need certain supply's to survive, make sure you are well prepared before the anarchy begins. Because there are sure to be plenty of panicking people, but you will already have everything needed to survive!
Food
The most obvious supplies required are food and water. Start stoking up all the foods that don't expire. For example, beans are a great food that can last many years and is easily obtainable in large quantities. Flour can be store for a long while as well and is therefore a great doomsday food. Although you will need somewhere to cook the flour and beans, one solution to this would be buying a great quantity of matches. You would then be able to light fires and hold pots or pans above them. It would also be wise to purchase some large holding tanks and store water in them, these wont last forever so you may want to build a well down in your basement or shelter for backup water. Both are vital to human survival so make sure you cover these supply's first."
So I just want to know what you would pay for my work and what I should charge to write 500 word articles of this quality.
