I see prices ranging from Bhopal India wages per word which is IMO
about 150 words BMR posts for .40-.60. and Then I see a lot advertised for like 4-$5 /500 word article.

This is the price I feel comfortable with

I know myself when I sell my services, and before when I outsourced I paid this ($4-$5/500 word article) and felt happy with the quality. Anything much below that and you start getting into the non native speakers spelling errors, grammar mistakes you have to correct etc

I used to charge less than this price for my own work, but I felt underpaid, overworked. I think most decent writers are not going to write for you for 1c per 2 words or 1c per 3 words, they would feel insulted.

You do find a lot willing to do that price but their grammatical ability and English ability is not up to par and you end up spending too much time fixing their mistakes. Who wants to do that?

What do you feel is a price that you can start to see quality where you dont have to worry about Article rejections etc? I Know there are guys that charge WAY more for high high quality work even 2-5c per word would not be unusual.

Do you feel comforable paying $5 for 500 words?

    Well in My Opinion Quality Always Comes First! If any Freelance Write Fresh and unique article with covering niche based content with maturity, $5 for these sort of Article Not a Big Deal!

    Another Important thing is keywords Density! Most of the Prominent Article writers even neglected keywords density in their articles, So its batter approach to write unique, Fresh and Innovative article for grabbing the attention of readers!

    If anyone is offering $5 for 500 words, I don't think he'd be motivated enough to crank out anything of quality. Cheap and good article writers are few and far in between. Any writer who knows their worth would not go as low as $1 per 100 words. I've once had articles written for cheap by someone else for my website and the quality was horrendous and I thought, never again. I can write better for myself.

    Pick any 2:
    1) Cheap
    2) Good
    3) Fast

    If you want it cheap and fast, it won't be good. If you want it good and fast, it wont be cheap. If you want it cheap and good, it won't be fast.

    I was just over on Odesk I saw so many wanting PERFECT NATIVE English speakers, wanted to hire, the going price they wanted to PAY for BMR was .50 per 150 words and then some .40. I find it hard to believe they can find legible writers for that price

    Last week I did offer BMR posts for .60 just since I had a few hours to spare. One guy wanted me to start on like 30-40 /week. His "rules " he sent me stated that every article had to be accepted by BMR 100% of the time, the FIRST time. I thought WTF?

    The sample article he sent me was VERY well written.
    I thought hmmm I am fully capable of cranking out no spelling errors, legible, coherent posts that will be accepted by BMR for that price, but if you want me to write GOOD posts, WELL THOUGHT OUT, provacative, imaginitive, GOOD WRITING, I cant do that for .60 per post. So I refunded him his money and bid him farewell

    There is a difference between
    1. legible coherent no spelling errors grammatically correct articles
    2. REALLY GOOD, provacative, inspiring, well written articles.

    Really Good writing, takes more time and more thought. You will not get that for slave wages. Apparently some guys dont get that. They think they will find American English speaking filipinos who are good writers willing to work for poverty wages. You will find ones willing to work for poverty wages, but those are not ones with those skills. If you have a skill worth 20 bucks an hour why sell it for 5 bucks an hour?

    Seems there are a lot of delusional people looking to hire GOOD writers

    Me? I can sit there and mindlesslessly type perfectly acceptable articles and BMR posts, hour after hour. But if you want HIGH QUALITY, you wont get that at the Bhopal India rate some are seeking

    The nerve of some people. I got fed up with writing on Fiverr because they pay you $5 and expect the world. I've now moved out of Fiverr and started dealing with private clients who are willing to pay me more.
