As someone who already does the service you’re offering as a freelancer, I’m curious what you’re paying writers.
In my experience, agencies of this sort are almost always low-grade content mills that pay writers next to nothing.
- newlyretired 9y agoWhat's a reasonable cost per word for specialized content? EG, something about a specific field (although doesn't require a college degree to write, some specialized knowledge would be good). I've seen about 20 cents per word, making a 2k word longform around $400. Is that somewhat realistic?
- Mz 9y agoHere is a service with transparent pricing: https://www.textbroker.com/clients-prices-conditions https://www.textbroker.com/clients-prices-conditions I work for them. My opinion of them is very positive. Clients who know what they want will put articles in the general author pool and then invite authors they like to a team. So they pay less as a screening mechanism, then pay a bit more for quality work. It is generally way less than 20 cents a word.
- Mat_Sherman 9y agoWe pay writers $50 per 700-word post. We'd like to raise that amount, to be honest, but it's all we can swing right now.
