How much do you pay for a 300+ word blog article?

[Clicksjim]

I am considering outsourcing some of the blog writing and would like to get some idea of what is a reasonable amount to pay someone for writing say a 300-350 word article?

Also any recommendations on where to find good writers? Thanks!

oDesk is my recommendation as well, but you should always ask for a sample of writing before hiring anyone. I also specify 'English speaking' in the job title. For a safe option you should take the referral from Francisco, good price and recommended.

If you are wanting to save some monies you could always write it yourself and just have a SEO copywriter polish it up for you.

Find an author on oDesk and give them continuous work. I have found really good mom bloggers who will work for $12/hr on an "as needed" basis. Let me know if you want her info. She has a degree in journalism.

We find that general topics, like pop music or celebrity news, start at around 2.5 cents per word for good quality. You can certainly find cheaper writers, but you run the risk of blog posts with grammatical errors and weak argumentation.

The more in-depth or technical the content needs to be, the more expensive it will become. Legal writing specialists, for example, charge much higher rates.

With more than 100,000 US-based authors, we can help with whatever niche you may need.

It really depends on level of writing you can find people who do it for $10 and some who charge $250 depending on how good they write and their knowledge.
