Hello. While i want to get into SEO, i am writing articles on fiverr to raise funds. Now ive got a predicament. Ive been messaged by a guy wanting 300 articles of 300 words for a mere 125-175 dollars. To me this seems awfully cheap, anyone here know what a fair price would be? Thanks!

Think of the quality you'd be getting with the articles being that cheap. Are they 100% unique? Personally, I wouldn't pay for them if they weren't.

What he's offering you is obviously a way too small sum but may I ask you what you normally charge for one 300 word article?

:joke: is it...... :wt: I can't believe that someone can think of paying so less to writers. I think that guy does not belong to this world only, that's the thought thing which is coming to my mind right now.
$1 per 100 words needs to be your basic rate but if you are highly proficient in writing articles, then I would suggest you to go for a better pay rate. Remember always that no one can pay us so low until we agree to work on a low rate. Cheers

Congrats!! Did you have some sort of funnel set up so that you can upsell them more articles if they were pleased with your work?
For instance, when you deliver their work, give them the link to your website where you offer your pricing for articles. That way you could still charge the 5 dollars per article and avoid the fiverr fees, as well as gain some steady clients.
Just a thought, in case you weren't already doing it.

post on odesk, you'll get at least 20 responses, you'll figure out what to do after that.

Hell no OP, unless you just spin the articles to hell and back, then it's worth it.
You should be looking at >$900 if you price them individually...Maybe give a bulk discount if you're super generous. But $150 is criminal and unprofessional to even ask for. Either the guy buying is new to this, or he's disrespecting you by asking for sweat shop labor.

$2,000 is a fair price for 90,000 words. I wouldn't accept anything less.

The offered price is very low. As it is in bulk amount you can reduce the article rate to minimum $2 per article. Not less than that. For a non-native article writer, it is a very low amount. Or you can deliver low quality article at the price he suggested.
