I'm a full-time freelance writer and have made a good living from it over the years. I've been lucky enough to build up some great regular clients, but I do have to apply to new work occasionally. When I do browse the job postings, I always stumble across ads that are pretty mind-boggling, to say the least. For example, this morning I came across a posting asking for 20 articles at a "firm budget" of a whopping $9.
How Much Do You Think Freelance Writers Are Worth?

I'm a full-time freelance writer and have made a good living from it over the years. I've been lucky enough to build up some great regular clients, but I do have to apply to new work occasionally. When I do browse the job postings, I always stumble across ads that are pretty mind-boggling, to say the least.
For example, this morning I came across a posting asking for 20 articles at a "firm budget" of a whopping $9.
So I'm just wondering, what do you guys think writing is worth?
Do you know the difference between good and bad writing? Do you understand the importance of it and how it can impact your website and improve conversions?
Do you have a cutoff rate that you'll never pay more than? Are you looking for high-quality writing, or are you just looking for cheap, grammatically correct keyword drivel to fill up space on a page? Any opinion on the minimum or maximum rate you should pay for a specific type of writing?
Would love to get some opinions on this. Especially since content mills are dying and Google is putting a strong emphasis on quality content that is engaging and shareable.
(Associated Content is dead – and when's the last time you saw About, eHow or HubPages on page one of Google? Think about that one for a minute.)
