  As someone with a little experience and some modest success in this area, a good full-service blogger would be expensive. Not only because it requires a cluster of skills that are only tangentially related to each other and so are relatively rare to find together, but because a person who possesses these skills can build a good income for themselves will little investment aside from their own time. The opportunity cost of such a person selling their time is massive because they're exchanging long-run passive income for short-term work-for-hire income. I'm hesitant to estimate how much such a service would reasonably cost without thinking about it some more, but I am very curious as to how much a startup in a position to benefit from this kind of outsourcing thinks they could reasonably pay.

    I agree that a person who is competent and creative enough to write solid blog posts in a space that isn't his or her specialty is exceedingly rare. They often have their own ideas and projects. Honestly, most guest bloggers and freelance writers may be affordable (or even cheap) but simply aren't that good. The writing is often bland or immature. Not content I would want representing my brand. To get a creative and smart wordslinger to run your blog and manage your brand like that would be expensive.
